Best of 2009 Picks

Here are my picks (again) for best of 2009, this time for Relix, I put a little more thought into it this time and changed it up a bit. Upcoming shows I'll be at or covering are Krasno residency at Brooklyn Bowl, Possibly AA Bondy at Union Hall, and U-Melt's upcoming show with fellow jack of all trades Jesse Borrell. Here is the list I turned into Jambase, had I thought of it a little more I would have definitely included some of these picks.
