2009 was the year of the cover, encouraged by the Guilt By Association discs and my newfound love of Nouvelle Vague (the band; my love of the genre is longstanding). When I made my disks, I ordered the music by month; in this list, they’re just grouped by disc in whatever order the iTunes playlist export doled them out in, but you can pretty much follow when I would have heard them if you knew when the band was in Nashville, or what trip I was going on. And then Christmas. There was also one blank track in there, because, you know, pretension can be fun.

Note: The list usually isn’t this long. Apparently all I did in 2009 was listen to music; I recognize that it's a little out of control.
