SUCK IT 09

DJ EARWORM - UNITED STATE OF POP (BLAME IT ON THE POP) (YSI)

So the year's coming to a close, which once again blows my mind. I feel like it flew by, but that's probably because there's so many nights I have no recollection of. Anyway, I figured I'd leave a batch of songs that deserve some recognition because they touched my soul, got me laid, or I blacked out while partying to them on multiple occassions.
