But I will concede that it has seen its fair share of top-shelf music. Surely no one can deny the subtle charms of Songs from the Pit or good-natured fan service that is Jokey Jingles.
The great music has come fast and hard in 2009, and, try as I might, a gaggle of excellent songs managed to elude me until this, the last moments of the year. So sit back and enjoy a collection of year-ending ditties sure to please.

Should old acquaintance be forgot, but theme songs remembered forever.
Track 1: Southside – "Runnin' Low"
Looking forward to 2010, I am positively giddy imagining what will come from the Scrub Club camp!
Z's 1st interlude: "Though admittedly not as low as the late Patrick Swayze."
2009 = weirdest celebrity deaths ever!
Track 2: One Republic – "Secrets (feat. Former Fat Boys)"
Apparently the YouTube vid for this track was pulled down right after $ucksex posted it. Not sure how a free fan remix is a threat to one's intellectual copyright, but what the fuck do I know.
Track 3: The Office dialog / YTCracker – "Underground Sewer"
Chrono Nurga is another amazing freebie from the Mighty YTCracker. Go snag it.
Track 4: Philip T. Ridlin – "Mario Kart Love Song"
This track has been sitting in my collection for months. I think it was the first song I tagged specifically for this episode.
Track 5: Schaffer the Darklord – "The Other Devil"
Manslaughterer is an amazing LP, and this is easily my favorite track on the whole album.
Track 6: Heroes dialog / Elfonso – "Parody Us"
Big up to my brother T.Y.T. the White Shinobi for capturing that Heroes clip for me. Where would we be without our friends?
Track 7: Shael Riley and the Double Ice Backfire – "Asian Kids Have All the Best Moves (Solo Piano)"
There's something about Shael's songwriting that has always appealed to me. After months of soul searching I have decided it hinges on his lyrical vantage point. Shael always writes in the voice of exquisitely flawed humanity.
Track 8: Saskrotch – "Warming Up"
Seriously, if I gave an award for best album title, Saskrotch would win.
Track 9: Supercommuter– "Itty Bitty Pigeons (Klopfenpop Mix)"
Much love to both Klopfenpop and Supercommuter for letting me include this joint. I can not wait to hear more such remixes!
Z"s 2nd interlude: "But enough of my sentimental melancholy."
Sorry if my interludes are a bit of a downer this time around.
Track 10: The Reborn Identity – "Here Comes Your Man, Finally"
CeCe Peniston has the word "penis" right there in her name. I'm just sayin'.
Track 11: Uncle Monsterface – "Like a Prayer"
I have been on Marty and Dan to get me a studio version of this song for ages!
Track 12: Allister – "Fraggle Rawk"
Between Matt Ryd, Kanye and Allister, there is a lot of Chi-Town in this episode.
Track 13: Dale Chase – "Sniped"
Truly the Queen of the Douche Nukers and inventor of the Atheist Cock Punch deserves no less.
Track 14: My Parents' Favorite Music – "ALLYOURBASEMENT"
MPFM fill a very important niche in the nerdcore ecosystem. Steffo makes enjoyable, smile-inducing music like no other.
Track 15: Carl Sagan – "Glorious Dawn (Cosmos Remix feat. Stephen Hawking)"
This Symphony of Science project was that rare YouTube sensation that genuinely lived up to the hype.
Track 16: Matt Ryd – "Poker Face"
Matt joins Shael and Glenn Case in the holy triad of solo singer-songwriters that make me painfully envious of their talent.
Z's final interlude: "So thanks for that."
It sounds cliché, but I genuinely mean it; having you guys listen to and comment on this podcast really adds a new dimension to the experience. It makes it positively therapeutic for me.
Track 17: djBC – "Everybody's Everyday Girl" / A message from YTCracker
YTCracker is all about the science. Even now he is in his secret lab cooking up a cure for wackness.
I've still got a proper year-end post in the works, but let me go ahead and preemptively thank everyone who helped make Radio Free Hipster possible this year.
Thanks to Antisoc, my longtime host, supporter and friend. And much love to all those who guested on this show (like my boys Matt and Church) and who asked me to sit in on theirs (What up, Jarvis!)
The most sincerest of thank yous go out to all the artists that let me share their songs on the podcast, especially those who went out of their way to send me the new hotness. And I graciously bow to all those who didn't clear me using their tunes, but were still nice enough not to sue me.
And, once again, I really wanna say how much I appreciate all of y'all listening, commenting, requesting songs and suggesting new artists. The internet is a big, scary place, but you always make me feel welcome and appreciated.
You truly kept me safe, sane and entertained throughout a turbulent 2009.

You can't hold $ucksex down, and if you do, you better be a girl that his girlfriend finds hot.
happy new year brother
Cheers for the inclusion. Hope you have a great New Year!
Great show. As a relatibvely new listener, I hadn't heard any of your previous end of year shows, but in a way it is a Best of 2009; it's just a best songs that you haven't played yet :)
Love your work; keep it up!
I have heard that, funk.
Right back at you, Ranger!
Glad to do it, RI. :)
Thanks, Anarchangel, and you make a compelling point!
