This week we present selections from some of our favorite albums of 2009. After a memorable twelve months of beats, it was difficult to narrow down our picks, and many great songs were left stranded on our shelves. Regardless, we managed to squeeze in 30 choice cuts that we&#8217;re sure you&#8217;ll enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past year, the show has had its share of highlights and firsts. Many thanks to WCRS, and our dear listeners for the continued support! 2009 saw the debut of our <a href=\"http:\/\/beatoracle.net\/?p=183\">live night<\/a>, an improved website (courtesy of Michael), the second installment of the <a href=\"http:\/\/beatoracle.net\/?p=293\">&#8220;Slowly&#8221;<\/a> series, Ruckus Roboticus&#8217; stellar <a href=\"http:\/\/beatoracle.net\/?p=362\">&#8220;Very Daft Punk Christmas,&#8221;<\/a> Solar Flare&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/beatoracle.net\/?p=326\">&#8220;Black Rock Evolution&#8221;<\/a> mix, the unveiling of our new theme song (courtesy of Colorwheel), and the WTF few months of the <a href=\"http:\/\/beatoracle.net\/?p=210\">Oracle voice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Below we have included 10 &#8220;Beat Oracle consensus&#8221; album picks, as well as some <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">arbitrary<\/span> individual lists. Feel free to send your own recommendations to dj@beatoracle.net. On December 31st we will present the second part of our &#8217;09 special, and will play some of our favorite  songs from 12&#8221;singles, EPs, and albums we couldn&#8217;t include in this week&#8217;s episode.
