We said goodbye to 2009 with this final show of the year, which was crammed with as many tunes as possible from the preceding 12 months, although I couldn't fit in all that I wanted to even after expanding the program's length by a half hour or so. Such is life.

So now it's on to 2010 as LDR begins its tenth year of webcasting on the Internet. We've come a long way since the early days of Lucky Dog, and my musical horizons have expanded in many directions through the act of programming this station—which is a good thing. I hope that you've witnessed a similar expansion, and that you continue to derive satisfaction and enjoyment from your listening experience as we proceed with our exploration of the musical universe.

As mentioned, too many songs, not enough time. Here's one from Taken By Trees that was one of the last to be cut.
