SMOKE & MIRRORS’
best tracks of 2009

In a year that had us wishing it was over, counting the days, there were a ton of hot songs to accompany us along the way. Perhaps less money does make better music when all is said and done. By now you’ve more than experienced my aural tastes. These are the songs that defined the sound of the past year of my life. I graduated from college, started the blog, and moved in with my boyfriend. It’s been a year of change for everyone. Stay tuned for this year’s incredible batch of artist spotlites.
