Bubblegum Cage Best Of 2009
Sam’s year-end list is always worth you time. Especially if your as tired as I am of seeing the same records over and over on other lists.
It’s the best music of 2009 in an alternate and better dimension and after reading it I realize I still have at least 5 more records to pick up from this year.

…really killed it this year.
besides this stellar release from Vancouver’s Sex Church, they also gave us some equally amazing inches from Woven Bones, Flight, and Love Tan (and probably some others I haven’t heard yet).
I’m not normally much of a big 7” buyer, but I have no choice but to make exceptions when the stuff is this good. And they are that good.
