Best of 2009

Hello,

While we continue to work on the new CKCUFm.COM. I wanted to get a blog going for the station. During the month of January we will get the audio streaming fixed and start CKCU Podcasting. We will also have the on-line playsheets working and get the calendars and show highlights fixed. Yes you have probably heard that before but I am feeling pretty optimistic about it working this time. So to start the CKCU blog I wanted to see what people felt were the best releases of 2009. I want to stay with new music and not re-issues but you can list them if you want. Here are a few I have enjoyed

1)Pieter Wispelway - Walton Cello Concerto - Onyx
