Pazz & Jop 2009

I think this is my Village Voice Pazz & Jop 2009 ballot. I took the opportunity of a snafu to resubmit and wedge in some last-minute listening. So tUnE-yArDs and Dirty Projectors were dropped from the albums list, Jay Sean's arrival "Down" and The Ting Tings' non-rebellious "We Walk" from singles. I'm dizzee, bonkers, definitely not free - as usual, anyone griping about no good new music (or even no new boundary-pushing, forward-thinking music) just ain't listening. In fact, 2009 > 2008 to these ears.
