The Albums of 2009

It’s the end of the year, which means there has been a veritable smorgasbord of countdowns flooding the internets. And what a year it has been! 2009 has seen the likes of Michael Jackson’s untimely death, infamous outbursts from Kanye West, and Susan Boyle. And that’s just the highlights (I use the term loosely). Fortunately though, the last year of the noughties has produced some excellent albums. So here’s my two cents: my favourite 10 albums of 2009.

Well, as of today I am off on a jet plane to the land of the long white cloud (New Zealand) until the end of the year. Which means (hopefully) I will have much better things to do than update this blog. But never fear, 3 readers, as soon as the new year rolls around it will regain full function. Stay tuned for 2009 countdowns and the likes.

Merry Christmas! 🙂

Clip of the day: BooneOakley

Now this is some clever marketing. BooneOakley, a small US-based full service marketing/ad agency has utilised YouTube’s new interactive features by creating their entire website on the video hosting giant. Not only is it great to see an agency able to take the piss a little bit, but logistically the move is very smart. They don’t have to pay any web-hosting fees, and it’s pretty unique- it’s already getting worldwide attention. Pretty neat if you ask me.

You can check it out in the video above, but for the full experience it’s best to head to the YouTube site itself here.
