Blog Move

It's been a long time coming, but I've finally decided to switch blog platforms over to Tumblr. I've been slowly migrating in that direction. There has been a statement regarding Bloggers departure with FTP support (lame) and Tumblr's ever-growing usability and functionality that seems to cater my blogging needs. I will be linking the new blog onto my portfolio site (which needs to be redone..) and anyone that is anyone already sees my feeds being pushed to Facebook. I will also be continuing efforts over on Flux/Form and Rocketpunch, so you might be seeing double posts and reblogs from my personal blog and those two.

So everyone update their bookmarks, here it goes...

Top Albums of 2009

It's always hard to go back and try to find the albums that stand out to you. Like any other top album list, this is just from my perspective, and would love to hear what albums you enjoyed this year. As far as my lists are concerned, I have just used albums that have come out this year. I have tried to split it up to give you a broader range of what I've been listening too (Maybe too much?).
