The 11 Best Albums of 2009 (so far):
I'm off on vacation for a couple of weeks...but will return. Until then...here's a snapshot of the first half of the year. These are my favorites. I can't belive I picked Morrissey at the top. But it's the album that's had the most play in my 2009 library. So...it's hard to argue with that.The 11 Best Albums of 2009 (so far):1. Morrissey - Years of Refusal (Black Cloud)2.

It's the 4th of July and all of us Americans go out and celebrate in the one thing that Americans do best...we consume. We eat until we can't move, we drink until we can't stand up, and we end the day staring up at the sky and watch things get blown up good. Only Americans celebrate freedom by indulging in every single freedom at the exact same time. I avoided the BBQs this year...but showed myThe 11 Best Moby Songs
Moby started to lose me over his past two albums. But Amazon listed his new album, Wait for Me...for only $3.99. At that price, I'd buy just about any album. And half way through my first listen...I can already tell this album is worth a lot more than the price tag. If you've been a Moby fan since Play...than you need to add this album to your library.

Comeback's are a bitch. It barely happens. And it's rarely successful. Currently Michael Jackson is in the middle of a comeback unlike anything the world has ever seen. He has 9 of the top 10 albums on itunes and 50 of the top 100 songs. He has the top 16 albums on Amazon...and is selling out at almost every store in town. But he had to die to accomplish that.Dinosaur Jr took a more subdued

On the road to a brighter day
Ho ho ho, it's that time of the year again, that time that we are given the opportunity to go out and see our favorite artist. During the summer, the Tweeter center on the waterfront offers a great selection of shows - from Allman Bros. to Beyonce. Although I am not attending any, I heard DMB was off the rocker. I'd imagine so, being as they had one of Jamaica's very first reggae bands opening - Toots and The Maytals.
