Maybe I should just call them our favourite songs of 2009??
These were the ones that kept spinning and outlasted everything else. Listed in alphbetical order by song, you can listen to this whole mix by clicking on the player below.
Also, I decided to just list them, instead of talk about each individual song. If it made the list, chances are I posted something on the site earlier in the year about it.

amaaaazing as always chris! any chance you’ll make these available as a downloadable set? it’s fab.
about half you can download in the post by right clicking on the song name, the other half take you to the hype machine, where you can find the track. I didn’t have the time to get approvals for all of the tracks and be able to post a zip.
its a bit of work, but you should be able to find all the songs.
thanks for checking it out.
