Here’s the last of the mix tapes I put together for 2009. My buddy Perry down on the Edge of the Continent threw down the gauntlet with a challenge to select my “best of the decade” tunes and put them on one disc. Well, I’m not discerning enough to get my best of the year on to one disc (as I demonstrate yearly<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So to go along with my new music<\/a> and reissues\/covers\/live<\/a> mix tapes of 2009. Here’s my double gatefold mix tape of favorite tunes of the past decade. (Actually its technically not a list of my favorite tunes of the decade, rather it’s a list of favorite tracks from some of my most favorite albums of the past decade. Also, I followed the rule of one entry per artists, though I did give Robert Pollard two tracks, one under the GBV<\/a> heading and one from Boston Spaceships<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
