music illustration with wing and blot

In order to prove to friends and family that rock is in fact alive and well, my uncle curates a yearly mix of the best songs of the year. Inspired by his original tradition, I present to you a very biased, selective, yet all around awesome mix of the best songs of 2009. No repeated albums, no repeated artists, no particular order. Enjoy.
