Music Mule’s Songs of 2009
Posted by: nick
Ok so here’s our favourite tracks that didn’t feature on our albums of 2009, with the small exception of numbers 1 and 2! These get a pass and here’s our warped logic - it was perhaps the unbelievably high benchmark that these two tracks set that meant we were a little disappointed with the rest of their respective records, meaning they appeared a little further down our album list than we would have expected/liked. They are absolutely the best two tracks of the year and deserve SHOUTING about!
More mp3s and a playlist to follow but here goes:
