In college I managed a small coffee shop on campus. We did everything the old-fashioned way, none of those fully-automated machines like they have at *ahem* starbucks *cough*.

Below is my meager contribution to the din. Please note that these are simply my favorite albums and everyone is entitled to their own list. At the end of the post I’ve also included some links to other great 2009 round-ups. P.S. these genre categories are also pretty subjective and I’m not even sure if they’re right. Continue reading…
