Today I was semi-fondly remembering 2009 as a really weird year for me.

Firstly, a song that reminds me of sitting alone in my bedroom after having been awake all night (one of my first nights after I quit taking drugs to make myself sleep, in the midst of a serious 10-15 pills a day problem) a few years ago.

It's still a soothing experience.

Steely Dan - "Any World (That I'm Welcome To"



In 2009 I was so obsessed with this dumb song that I bought it on 12". The maxi single (which I still have in my collection) includes the 7" single, with an extended mix. (Part II on side B.) Nobody should be surprised that I still enjoy it. And now, an ode to slobbing the knob.

Toto Coelo - "I Eat Cannibals"



More Toto Coelo, because I'm not sorry.

Toto Coelo - "Spy vs. Spy"



Another song I was totally obsessed with that year.

Thompson Twins - "We Are Detective"



Not surprisingly, I also went through a Knack phase that year. I still have one of their buttons on my jacket.

The Knack - "Baby Talks Dirty"



And then there was that time when Sparks teamed up with Les Rita Mitsouko, and this happened, and I loved it (many years after it happened).

Les Rita Mitsouko - "Singing in the Shower"



How could I forget Haysi Fantayzee?

Haysi Fantayzee - "Shiny Shiny"



And lastly, another song I loved so much in 2009 that I needed the 12" single.

Musical Youth - "Pass the Dutchie"



And that's my "2009 was my year of shitty pop music" post.
