Six tracks including music by Gilded Gutter, R.I.P SOCIETY RECORDS, and helikopter.

My 2009 Best in Lo-Fi. It was originally presented as a cassette, so I included the flip side cues. Tracks from Wavves, Fergus & Geronimo, Woods, etc. Best if listened to as in cohesive track order.

Mostly indie music from 2009, with bands like Cave, Buffalo Stance, and Meth Teeth. Somehow, I managed to include only one band whose name references an animal (a big trend as of late). A rather ambivalent year, both politically and musically. Enjoy?
