The Best EP's and Such of 2009

Yes, for the first time, I’m break­ing down my favorite music of any given year into sep­a­rate posts so as to give each col­lec­tion its fair shake. First up — my favorite music found in EP, 7″, and/​or 12″ format.

Pro­gram­ming Notes:

  1. I have placed the entries in alpha­bet­i­cal order, eschew­ing the need to place any sub­jec­tive number/​place value rank­ing upon these records.
  2. With each entry, I have pro­vided a link to artist’s web­site (with pref­er­ence for an actual site over a MySpace page) along with any review I may have writ­ten and/​or cov­er­age provided.
  3. While many of the records on this list have been reviewed on this site, they have also prob­a­bly received even greater atten­tion else­where in the blo­gos­phere (not to men­tion in the fail­ing medium of the music mag­a­zine). Let me know your thoughts in the com­ments if you feel I’ve missed any­one or anything.

  3. While many of the records on this list have been reviewed on this site, they have also probably received even greater attention elsewhere in the blogosphere (not to mention in the failing medium of the music magazine). Let me know your thoughts in the comments if you feel I’ve missed anyone or anything.
