Hey everybody,

Just a reminder, we have our tops of 2009 members' lists on our message board so feel free to post what your favorites of the year are.

Our Top Albums of 2009 thread is located here: http://www.chicagoindierockfans.net/messages/boards/thread/8197370

And our Top Songs of 2009 thread, who's tracks will be compiled and set on rotation at our February Non-Show Meetup, is located here: http://www.chicagoindierockfans.net/messages/boards/thread/8197381

To insure that we'll have time to compile the lists for the Non-Show Meetup, we will be locking these threads on Wednesday, January 13, 2010. So if you want to share your tops with the rest of the group, get to it!

Also, as a reminder, we're doing something new in the message boards for awhile. Each week, an organizer heads up a thread on their Top Songs for a theme, while members are encouraged to post their own favorite songs for the theme. Last week to kick it off, Emily posted her "Top Songs When You Want to Start Anew" and was met with tremendous enthusiasm. This week, I hope to do with the same with "Tops Songs That Remind You of Home." Be sure to check back each week for a new theme lead by a different organizer. Also, feel free to email the organizers with ideas you have for new themes for the My Tops lists.

Hope everyone has a rockin' good weekend!
