DethMaiden's 2009

DethMaiden · #1 12-11-2009, 10:14 AM

Alright, I'll re-up this once I start doing the posts. Not doing a full list. I heard 62 albums and that just doesn't sound fun, plus, finding the differences between, say, #37 and #38, would ultimately come down to minutia and be a waste of time. Expect well-written (by my standards, anyway) blurbs for all this stuff. I'm trying to make it a writing exercise to keep me sharp between semesters. Here's the schedule:

12/26- Top Five Album Covers of 2009
12/27- Top DVD and Top Five Music Videos of 2009
12/28- Top Ten Songs of 2009
12/29- Top Ten Live Performances of 2009
12/30- Top Ten Albums (And Five Honorable Mentions) of 2009
12/31- 2009 Man of the Year
1/1- Top Five Most Anticipated Albums of 2010

If he was, it would be like when Time gives Man of the Year to dictators. Sure, he had an impact, but it wasn't for the better.

Me!

Also, thanks: I forgot about top DVD's of the year. Even though we pretty much know who's got it in the bag.

Haha, I'd be surprised to find out that five bands I like made videos this year, let alone any of them being good.

I didn't watch music videos for the longest time but since we opened a lot of Metal Club meetings with them this year, and since the Deciblog has been premiering a bunch, I found myself watching more and more. Most of them suck but I think there's been five that have been at least marginally enjoyable. And one on my list will be from a song that I know you like. Hint: it's Flag in the Ground.

Oh jeeze, I just realized I only bought 5 DVD's this year and only 2 of them were from 2009.

Yeah, that's why I'm doing a "top one" rather than a list. I think I have two 2009 DVDs, both of which rule, but one of which is potentially the best DVD I own.

I bet the DVD will be a complete surprise!

Well, it's either gonna be Coheed or this obscure British band from the 80s.
