For the record, here´s my personal top 15 of 2009 as submitted to the Bird List´s totally cool politburo. On the whole, I wasn´t too impressed with what I heard this year to be honest. Quite a few great songs, but not too many consistently great albums. Cool with me though, as that gave me the time to discover tons of amazing older stuff to keep me busy. More about that in a later post.

2. Bonnie Prince Billy & The Picket Line - Funtown Comedown

Glad to see Magnolia Electric Co.'s "Josephine" on your list...dig this record!
I just noticed I forgot to include Tom Russell´s magnificent Blood And Candle Smoke. Sorry all, sorry Tom.
