songs of 2009: 50-26 (SPOTIFY-CENTRIC)

i tried to make a top 20. i failed. too many excellent tunes, too few spots. SO, instead, here's the first half of the newly extended top 50. i wrote this yesterday afternoon and i'm already having second thoughts with about 90% of the eventual rankings...hence why i'm stalling on posting the business end of proceedings! i suppose that's the nature of these silly rundowns though.

PLUS.

because i currently have no money and thus no social life, i ATTEMPTED to find all 25 on spotify..turns out there's only about half of them on there. regardless, there's a link at the bottom for anyone who cares. the other tunes will get added as the chart continues..i can sense your anticipation already...

enjoy, comment, interact, criticise, gush, whatever you please:
