Top Lists of 2009!

The first year of Mix and Mark, 2009, was a great year for music but next year? Even better. I've found so many new bands and songs to fall in love with this year that I couldn't be more excited for January 1st to strike and that first album to be purchased. This year I'm thinking it's going to be the new OK Go Album. I can't wait but to hold me over, I've come up with my top lists of 2009 and my most anticipated for 2009. Catch you in the new year friends. I have a few treats up my sleeve to finish up the year including a Saosin interview and hopefully a write up of my interview with Mayday Parade.
I'm excited to jump into the second year of Mix and Mark and hope you are too!
