Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2019. Our next list is from DJ Kelsey.

I became a CHIRP DJ in 2019, which has exposed me to so much great music. I have genuinely enjoyed a lot of things that I would not have otherwise given a chance. When it comes to making a year end list, though—my tastes are what they are and I like what I like. So, while I try to play a variety of artists and genres on the air, I did not worry about it here. This is not a list of what I think was the "best" music of 2019, it is simply a list of my personal favorites.

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2019. Our first list is from DJ Dave Rooney.

Completing my first, full year as a sub-DJ with CHIRP, I offer these ten, enjoyable masterworks to consider as your own (big thanks to the diligent CHIRP Music Department, who put most of this music in front of me). Truth told: part of why I joined CHIRP was to reclaim what Neko Case referred to as that teenage feeling. Stuff we played this year might just as easily fitted on my mix tapes from 1982 (time permitting). Black Marble even released a single that shared the same title with a song I penned back then. Assuredly, their song was much better… Essentially, though, the following LPs were the true, long-players.
