*well as i do with every year since 2004, i keep a running log of every single album i've listened to in that particular year (except the really bad ones that aren't worth remembering) in hopes of looking back one day to reminisce about all the terrible music I used to rock out to. and so once again either on website, blog or message board here is said list. you're allowed to a) marvel at my compulsive nature to which i keep track of this imbisilic information or....b) become entirely mistified at my compulsive nature to which i keep track of this imbisilic information. here's to 2009 being a better year in music.-patrick
