I’m a lover of music and not a critic of music. I don’t discuss the merits of certain bands over another or think of clever ways to rip a band a new one, I just like to express what I like and if you like it then there’s a connection. I can play the critical role and discuss why certain songs are more important or influential, but that posturing becomes exhausting and you become boring like Pitchfork. Do you ever read a Pitchfork record review and wonder if they actually enjoy ANY music at all? I also like to give an artist the benefit of the doubt. The artists are the ones creating stuff while most of us are sitting on our asses. Well, this disclaimer went off on a tangent!
I compiled some of my favorite songs of 2009. All songs are MP3 encoded at 256 kbps (VBR) or better. Each track includes full ID3 tags and grouped and sorted as “Various Artists” and with album artwork, so your iTunes library will look clean and not be littered with one off tracks of unsorted compilations. I hate downloading compilations that don’t take that extra step. It’s like getting a chain email from your Aunt with 700 pages of forwarded email addresses, horrible formatting and stuck with a borderline NSFW and borderline funny joke.
Thank you New York Yankees for ruining baseball for me. Detroit’s most loved current athlete is by far Curtis Granderson. He was drafted by the Tigers, was an underdog to even make the majors, became a fan favorite for amazing catches (see below), set a MLB record for hitting 20 home runs, 20 triples, 20 doubles and stealing 20 bases in one year, became an All-Star and won the MLB sportsmen of the year for being a total class act and being one of the most charitable players in the league. A superstar who is very approachable, very well-spoken, well-liked and even knows how to write and blogs!
I understand that the trade may be good for the long-term of the Tigers. The Tigers get 4 prospects with variable degrees of upside potential, but losing a guy that you rooted for from the Minor Leagues to the All-Star game hurts. The 2010 Tiger season is gonna be rough. Not only because we lost 2 All-Star players, but who we lost. Who is going to give the Tigers that energy, spark and the ability to continue to watch even though we may be losing? Curtis Granderson did that for the Tigers with his outstanding catches, his in-the-park home runs, his playing hard and taking time to sign autographs for the kids. He will be missed.
