This ScissorKast, while a bit scattered, is perhaps one of the strongest playlists I’ve put together in a while. A combination of my favorite tracks from 2009 and a taste of hotly anticipated music from 2010 it meanders down a number of musical avenues including electronic, instrumental rock, indie, folk, you name it. Hard to weave something this varied into one cohesive mix without giving it the Langolf treatment, so bear with me. By the end of it all I hope you agree 2009 was a fantastic year for music.
