John Hell’s Best of 2009

December 24, 4pm

–

This is harder than it appears. I didn’t want 1000, or even 100 songs/artists on this list. 21 is good.

It’s possible that a couple of these tunes are from 2008. As a matter of fact I can guarantee it. No matter, they came to my attention in ’09.

Go out and support local, live music.

In no particular order:

1. Wavin’ Flag: K’Naan
