What are your top five albums that were released in 2009? (In order 1-5)

  1. Fever Ray - Fever Ray

  2. Blacklisted - No One Deserves to be Here More Than Me

  3. Punch - Punch

  4. Vacant State - State of Confusion

  5. The Hope Conspiracy - True Nihilist

What band did you discover in 2009 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?

I got my cats this bird toy on a stick, and they love it.

How will you remember 2009? (In terms of music)

I'll probably mostly remember the stuff I did. Also, I just re-read how I answered this in 2007: "Honestly, with my memory, it'll probably blend together with 2006 and 2008 within a few years." I was right. So it'll probably blend in with all the stuff from 2008 and 2010.

2009 was a huge year for reunions. What reunion excited you the most? What band that has not reunited would you love to see play/record most in 2010?

Unbroken and Undertow shows were cool. No Doubt KILLED IT. I hope Dispute plays this year.

What can we look forward to from you in 2010?

Sarcasm, misinterpreted wit, shows, and a few records.

What three records are you looking forward to most in 2010?

Nails is the only record I know for sure that's coming out.
