Well, it certainley did for me. But brush away those tears, said I to myself. There's cosmos to be drunk, and Gossip Girl episodes to watch.
So today's entry isn't a total loss, I've decided to give you readers a taste of my Ipod. Or what it tasted like in 2009. Granted, this list was to be published in the event of New Years Day which was over four months ago. Procrastination comes natural when you've alot on your plate. And even more natural when the buffet is empty. But here it is now, ready for it's moment of fame before getting shunned by 201o's playlist.

There you have it. All the music that got me through the year of 2009. Whether I was employed under nauseating circumstances, or unemployed with anemic sadness. These are the songs that shone through Portland's residential raincloud. Hope it helps. Remember bloggers, music is an aphrodisiac that can bring joy through drunken laughs or sober tears. And chances are your less likely to regret a song the morning after.
Until tomorrows ventures Portlanders,
this is the Cereal Man,
rinsing the bowl. ;)
Dear Halysep,
ReplyDeleteThere are those artists in the world who can do no wrong no matter what they may choose to pursue. And then there are those who should stick to what they do best. Karen O may not be not be the most influential speaker on this side of the New York art punk scene. But she has the vision to create one of the greatest rock n roll albums of the 21st century. So next time your tube is tuned to the: KILL YOUR IDOLS documentary, be sure to hit pause when the over-applied lipstick mouth of Karen O's belts out a monolouge.
