One Hundred Hipster Songs

.
Last week I posted my five favorite albums of 2009. I rambled a bit in the intro about how I don't really get around, musically speaking - that I keep sorta self-contained to what I know and like and know I like. Well in an effort to listen to a little bit more that's out there, here's a treat via Stereogum. They did a post about Pitchfork's list of the Top 100 Songs of the year, and in the comments section of that post some kind fellow made a zip file of all 100 songs available for download. Click here for that (as long as it remains, that is).

This being a list by Pitchfork it skews toward the sort of music I gravitate towards anyway, there are several songs by Grizzly Bear and Neko Case and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Phoenix on the list, all bands that made my Top Five Albums list here. But there are bunches of songs by bands I've heard good things about but not listened to yet, so perhaps hearing what a semi-reputable source deems their most solid output will get my foot in the door of new music. Perhaps for y'all too. Yay stuff!
