Yeah, I know … e’rybody and they grammomma’z doin’ lists this time of year but …
Last weekend, I was working on ideas for the Weekly’s cover to go with our music writers’ playlists for 2009. The above started out as my “sketch” for it using the album art of some of my own selections for the year. We ended up changing the words and most of the album art when I got the writers’ actual picks. But I figured since I already made this graphic, I may as well list mine too. So … uh … yeah. Here it is starting off with ones pictured in the type.
