Wait, why is this guy so happy? Oh, hmmm – what’s that you say?

Ahhh, he must have already posted his favorite albums of 2009.

Curses! Jealousy! Mustache! There’s only 16 days left in the year?! Oh gosh, oh buttons. No time!

So, the question’s been posed…what are your favorite studio albums of the year?

Look at this fucking hipster

Check out Matt and/or his doppleganger  from http://www.latfh.com

WCR is currently debating what its 2010 season song should be (aka the song we all skate out to when they announce the entire league).  Last year’s song was “Move” by Ludacris, then it was brought to our attention that there was adult language in the song, so we started skating out to the radio edit of this song.  It has further been argued that this song isn’t really a great, woman-empowerment ditty and it’s time for a change anyways.

Any suggestions for songs???  Something high energy, bad ass, not TOO misogynistic…  Some have also argued that it should be a Chicago band or have free ASCAP rights, but those would just be a bonus.  Also, we are thinking more rock/punk than hippity hoppity.

Let me know what would get you pumped for some derby action so I can add my 2 cents to the debate.  It think they are trying to compile a list by 10/16/09.

Thanks,

Deb Autry

FTA: The students at Lexington High School say they haven’t just written a play based on this album, or a play about Anne Frank. It’s about art and music coming out of terrible things. And it’s about being transformed by that process of creation.
