the songs of 2009

it's been a big year for music, one that is hard to compare to any other. i dare to put it up against 2001 - the year i discovered talib kweli, mos def, angie stone & jill scott. i'm struggling with a way to share this music with you, right now i have most of these linked to previous still dottie posts. i've love to have you download the mp3s or even listen to them online, but i'm not sure what the legalities are & i'm not really interested in testing it out. so here it is, a little more work, but worth it if you want some of the best music of 2009.
