The Listomania I make the lists, you shoot them down. Quid Pro Quo.

Drew’s Grooves – The Best of 2009 Mixtape

You know I can't help making lists. So yeah, as a special treat for the first Friday back to work/school/despair, I took a break from the Top 150 to work on my list of the best tracks of 2009. Normally I would write up a traditional ordered list, but I'm trying something different this year. I don't want to spoil the big list (there are more songs from 2009 on it) and I like the interactivity idea. Thus, the Drew's Grooves Mixtape.

If you want to groove on what I've been grooving on this year, just grab the songs by any (legal...haha) means necessary and organize them on a CD. Watch them on youtube, grab some torrents, buy them off iTunes, I don't care. But here, for your listening pleasure, is my mixtape comprised of the 20 greatest songs of 2009. Only one song by each artist to give variety, and organized in alphabetical order. Enjoy. Let me know what you think, what's missing, what doesn't belong. Just an FYI though, it's perfect how it is.
