Music plays a big part in defining every year for me, and 2009 was one of my favorite years for new sounds and new bands. Thanks to all the musicians out there keeping music honest and original again. Thanks especially to everyone who’s followed, liked, and reposted Chez Boom. Here’s a brief recap of the new music of the year.
