Failures’ Union – Best Albums and Stuff of 2009

Failures’ Union Top 10 Albums of 2009, and Top 10 Misc Things of 2009:

We all picked a couple of releases that we loved this year. It’s rare that all of us like the same things. Usually it’s two of us love an album, while the other is either indifferent, or thinks it’s trash. This year we were all able to agree that the Cheap Girls, Dinosaur Jr and A Place to Bury Strangers albums were all fantastic. I’d also like to point out that only Jason likes the Tegan and Sara album. The other two think that it is complete garbage.
