Best Albums of 2009...That I Bought - Mix-Tape

This week's Mix-Tape are songs taken from albums that came out in 2009 that I also purchased. These 10 albums are in no particular order, and are all worth a thorough listening:

Yeah Yeah Yeah's: It's Blitz!

MSTRKRFT: Fist of God

Passion Pit: Manners

Ben Harper & Relentless7: White Lies for Dark Times

Steel Panther: Feel the Steel

Blakroc: Blakroc

Bad Lieutenant: Never Cry Another Tear (not on Mix-Tape)

Phoenix: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Street Sweeper Social Club: Street Sweeper Social Club

Where the Wild Things Are Soundtrack: Original Songs by Karen O and The Kids

Christmas Mix-Tape

This was a fun trip through my Christmas music on iTunes. Sadly, the mix-tape was limited to what was available on http://www.playlist.com/. A few Christmas albums to check out would be Various Artists: Psychobilly Christmas, The Rat Pack: Christmas with the Rat Pack, Reverend Horton Heat: We Three Kings, the Elf soundtrack, and in my opinion the best Christmas Album of all time: Charlie Brown Christmas by the Vince Gauraldi Trio. Merry Christmas, oh and make sure you give Santa Claus and His Old Lady a listen; classic Cheech & Chong.

Most of the artists for this week's Mix-Tape were participants in the 2009 CMJ music festival. CMJ is always helping the up and ups to be exposed; a great source for those artists who are just about to break out: http://cmj.com/ What do you think of the the Mix-Tape?
