2009 Honourable Mentions


So I started 09 as a 3 day shift worker, earning good money and cruising through 4 day weekends and I end it a uni kid 12 months off becoming a primary school teacher, had holidays in Bali, Europe and Melbourne and rehashed my life as a waiter. All in all a great year.

While it was too hard to coordinate a top list involving all the bloggers in the now extended whiteboydancefloor crew and the idea of ranking my favourite songs impossible and pointless, I thought instead I'll create a 2009 Honours List of the tracks which made my year amazing.

Feel free to comment and contribute as well because you know I'll miss out on something (I forgot about Crayon Fields in my top 25 aussie acts believe it or not!).

  • Bridezilla - Beaches
  • Children Collide - Skeleton Dance
  • Cobra Starship - Good Girls Go Bad feat. Leighton Meester
  • The Crayon Fields - All the Pleasures of the World
  • Cuthbert & The Nightwalkers - High Horse
