AUTOPSY IV’S FAVORITE 20 ALBUMS OF 2009 (today):

Dec 232009

Well, I guess it’s my turn. Kasey and RSV have already dropped their faves of the year (here and here) on y’all, so there’s just no avoiding it for me now. This year was particularly difficult due to the sheer amount of great music that came out, and had I made this list tomorrow it would certainly change. That said, you can edit forever but eventually you have to settle on something and call it your list. So, with out further ado I am gonna steal RSV’s formatting and get this show on the road:

20. Eilen Jewell – Sea of Tears
19. Those Darlins – Those Darlins
18. Strawfoot – How We Prospered
17. Justin Townes Earl – Midnight at The Movies
16. Malcolm Holcombe – For The Mission Baby
15. Jon Snodgrass – Visitor’s Band
14. Ben Nichols – The Last Pale Light In The West
13. Cam Penner – Trouble and Mercy
12. The Fox Hunt – America’s Working So We Don’t Have To
11. William Elliott Whitmore – Animals In The Dark

Top 10 (with mp3s) are under the cut…

THEY’RE FINALLY AVAILABLE:

Dec 222009


I came home Friday night to two boxes from the fine folks at Spokane Valley Wear and one from Contagious Graphics and my house is now over run with shirts and stickers.

The shirts turned out better than I ever could have expected and I can’t wait for you guys to start sending me pictures of yourselves in them. Not to mention I owe Spokane Valley Wear some money that I’d love to pay off. So be the first on our block to sport the sleek and stylish ninebullets.net tshirt. Twenty dollars will get you a shirt and a handful of stickers and it’ll help me raise the funds to keep the site up and running in these lean economic times.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ROMEO SID VICIOUS:

Dec 222009

I am usually a damn Grinch at this time of year. To be perfectly honest I have dreaded the holidays for years. The bright spot for me was making a compilation with either songs making fun of, parodying, or outright hating Christmas. I won’t bore you with all the details of why I hated Christmas but I suffice it to say I was a right bastard between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. This year things are different. I am actually in a great mood. But I still went off to make my usual snarky compilation. Then something happened right around track 11. I had all the holiday music I have here at the office queued up on random and going through the usual suspects for my tracks and a Johnny Cash song/spoken word thing popped up in the playlist. I paused and finished out my compilation in a different manner. So from about track 11 on this is less snarky than my last few holiday mixes. It ends with a Johnny Cash/band/spoken word thing but the two tracks that precede it are my favorite, even if they aren’t traditional, Christmas tracks of all time.

So from my family to yours: Merry Christmas!!!

And without further ado…

9B IN THE WILD:

Dec 222009


This picture was sent to me last night which reminded me that I needed to renew my plea for photos of 9b stickers (and shirts) out in the wild defiling public property.

So send them my way folks.

ROMEO SID VICIOUS’ TOP 25 ALBUMS OF 2009:

Dec 212009

Until this year I had never done a top list of albums or songs. When the subject came up I thought this would be an easy task, after all I write for 9b and make mixes and intros on a regular basis. Music is basically my favorite thing in the world so coming up with my favorites for the year should be easy. Hell I probably wrote a review for most of the albums I would include on a top album list and then a top songs list would be even easier. Was I ever wrong! This took the better part of two weeks to fill out and I had to stop myself at 25 for the top albums of the year according to Romeo Sid Vicious. There was so much good music that came out this year that picking just 25 was hard and then I had to figure out in which order I would rank them. Suffice it to say this task was a labor of love but a lot harder than I imagined it would be. And then while writing it I realized it could be taken as arrogant after all who am I to tell you what the best albums of 2009 were? But I can answer that. I am Romeo-muthafuckin’-Sid-Vicious and here’s the list of what you should have been listening to in 2009 (if you weren’t already).
