FLUXBLOG 2009 SURVEY MIX
The 10th anniversary celebration of this site comes to a close with this collection of 2009’s best and most notable music. This is, of course, the very recent past, and I can understand if you’re feeling kinda “uh, who cares?” about this one. But! 2009 is a pretty incredible year, one of the best of the past decade, and with this set, I have anthologized a full decade of music. All of previous surveys are still up – 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 – and in December, I will put up a survey of this year’s music. In the meantime, I may get around to putting together a mix of great songs that fell through the cracks in putting this project together, but no promises!
