TTBTGH: presents, this Sunday, a star-studded start to 2010!
2009 was a pretty good year overall, and a terrific year for music, but it's over. Done. Finito. Now, it's time for the future. Well, just about. Last Sunday KK and I went over our official best of lists, but if you're one of those no-show kind of folks (ahem, T-Bar...), you missed it. Well, we've got 'em for you below (and up at the blog, and soon up at steelbeltedradio.com)
We've got one more official Best of 2009 show to do, and boy oh boy, you don't want to miss this one. I can't give away too much yet, but suffice to say this may be the most exciting, star-studded show in Tell the Band to Go Home in history. Seriously. I'm actually working hard, planning this one out for a change, and it's going to be good. I guarantee it. We'll hear from some of the many artists who rocked our world this year, and pay tribute to some other folks who really made 2009 special. Check it out this Sunday.
