Welcome to my Tops of 2009: Music Edition. Complete with new genres, new sounds, new musicians, new albums, and new songs. Here are my favorite and most listened to:

¿Habla Usted Español?
The ALMA Awards or American Latino Media Arts Awards honoring the accomplishments of Hispanics in entertainment was televised this past Friday. And while it is exciting to see all the Hispanic talent get their moment, what my mother and I were more interesting in seeing was if anyone from Spain was going to perform, present, or anything. This then got us into a discussion about who are the most famous and well-known Spaniards around the world. Which, of course, got me curious and researching to find all the famous Spaniards I could remember. What follows is as much for me as it is for you. Picspam time!

And yes, I was an English major. And I have read excerpts and large pieces of most of these. But I’m not marking it as read unless I remember that I’ve read most of it and know what it was about.

The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up?

3) Italicize those you plan on reading

Tops of 2008
When a year ends sometimes it’s hard to remember where it began. Sometimes the time goes by slowly, and other times it goes by fast. And in the years to come, you’ll struggle to remember what you did that year and the things that defined you. It’d be nice to remember what you invested your time in, what made an impression, and what represented you as a whole for that year. That’s why I bring my:
