Singles Jamey Johnson – “High Cost Of Living” (Heard the song on his album when it was sent to me in '08.) Love and Theft – “Runaway” (Saw this listed on Billboard's country chart; checked it out on youtube.) Das Racist – “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (Wallpaper Remix)” (Frank Kogan put this on one of his mix CDs he sent me.) Larry Shannon Hargrove – “I Need A Bailout” (Heard this on Austin radio station KAZI's Southern soul show.) Nicki Minaj – “Beam Me Up Scotty” (Another song I first heard on a Frank Kogan mix CD.) White Wizzard – “High Speed GTO” (Was included on a metal compilation from Earache Records called Heavy Metal Killers, which I'd read about on ILM Rolling Metal then requested from the label; liked it, but it actually wasn't my favorite track at first. Eventually Earache sent me the band's EP, which led with the song, hence highlighting it more for me. Jen Guyre from Rhapsody emailed me a link to their video, which was hilarious.) John Rich – “Shuttin’ Detroit Down” (Noticed the title on Billboard's country chart, and was naturally intrigued.) Sarah Buxton – “Space” (Again, heard about this on Billboard's country chart, then checked it out on youtube.) Busy Signal – “Da Style Deh” (Appeared on a Greensleeves compilation CD I was sent, The Biggest Ragga Dancehall Anthems 2009.) Charlie Wilson – “There Goes My Baby” (My wife Lalena had heard this on Austin's aforementioned KAZI -- one of the station's r&b shows for grown folks -- and asked me if I knew who did it; I heard it several more times on the same station as the year went on. Fwiw, I also inititally heard Robin Thicke's "Sidestep," which made Josh Langhoff's P&J list after he'd heard about it from me he says, on that same station.)
