C'est très difficile

While most bloggers are busy compiling lists featuring songs of the decade or songs of the year featuring the likes of Phoenix, Animal Collective, Bat for Lashes, The XX and a variety of overblogged artists regurgitated by the likes of boring old Pitchfork, I though it was better to compile a list of songs I had on repeat and were an accurate description of my feelings during every month in '09. Many of these songs were released prior to 2009, but this isn't a countdown is it? Happy holidays to all.
