Top songs of 2009
I used to think I listened to a broad range of music — but after working up a list of my favorite songs from 2009, either my preferred listening tastes are getting more defined — or perhaps 2009 just wasn’t a great year for new music. (Feel free to offer up your own theories.)

Watching the U2 show last night on YouTube with friends from around the world (thanks to Twitter) I was reminded of the first CD I ever purchased.
