Episode 21: Things That Didn’t Fail In 2009 (Part 1)
Posted by Jim in Beers, Books, Music, Podcasts, Reviews, Sports, comic books, television, video games on December 15, 2009
We decide to add to the plethora of Top 10 lists that have crowded into cyberspace. Aren’t you all very lucky?
Each of us came to the table with our own list of the ten best things or events of 2009. Our choices, listed in no particular order except 1-10, contained albums, books, movies, TV shows, songs, sporting events and video games. Odd that no political achievements made the list. I suspect there is a future list for such real world events.
Due to the nature of our lengthy discussions, out Top 10 show is presented in two parts.
Dan’s 10 (part 1):
- 10, Fresh Kills by Bill Loefelm (book)
- 9, “When you were shouting at the Devil” . . . by Zimmer’s Hole (song)
- 8, “Monolith” by Century (song)
- 7, The Hangover (movie)
- 6, Batman: Arkham Asylum (video game)
Jim’s 10 (part 1):
- 10, Battlestar Galactica season 4 (TV)
- 9, Forza 3 (video game)
- 8, Downtown Owl by Chuck Klosterman (book)
- 7, Backstreets magazine / Bruce Springsteen 2009 tour coverage (web & print)
- 6, Beatles Remasters (albums)
Numbers 1-5 to be presented in part 2.

Podcast 6: The Most Boring Week in Sports
Despite the NCAA basketball finales, the opening of the Major League Baseball season, and the Masters golf tournament, Dan declares the first full week of April the most boring week in sports. An argument ensues. We then transition oh so smoothly to a discussion of the dilemma facing President Obama concerning previous wiretapping and torture. The beer this week is Great Divide Brewing’s Wild Raspberry Ale.
