The recording of the end-of-year/end-of-decade episode of lo-fidelity.
It shall take place Monday, December 21st at 8PM EST, 7PM CST at our usual stickam channel: stickam.com/lofidelity. Of course we’ll tweet when we’re broadcasting.
We’ll start with Mike’s list of great 2009 albums we didn’t get the chance to talk about on the show. We’ll then go into our retrospective on the aughts, covering the biggest music news stories from each year of the decade. We’ll take a couple intermissions to ask some questions. We encourage everybody listening to have their own answers so they can be shared in the stickam chat. You can check out those questions in the outline below. We’ll finish up with our top 10 albums of 2009. It’s gonna be bloody, but it’s gonna be fun. We look forward to seeing you there.
Here’s the outline:
1. Mike’s list of great 2009 albums
2. The Aughts Retrospective:
2000
2001
What is the most annoying trend to come out of this decade?
2002
2003
2004
One-album wonders (Who released a brilliant album then disappeared?)
2005
2006
2007
Best innovation of the decade
2008
2009
3. Our Top 10 Albums of 2009

…for now.
It has been rather quiet here as Mike and I are having to deal with life at the moment. Episode 32 has been a nightmare editing scenario, too, so let me just spoil it here: We liked Neon Indian. That episode’s release will be delayed indefinitely because of one major event: the end of the year/decade episode! Major plans are in the works and as soon as we have some details confirmed, we will post it here ASAP. We’re looking to make this as interactive as possible, so keep your eyes on the blog for more details soon!
For right now, the long-promised post by Jerry Terrifying with his thoughts on Insane Clown Posse. Take it away, Jerry:
