The fourth track on our countdown comes from Judson Claiborne and their yet to be released album Time and Temperature. The song appeared in our inbox last April and then were followed up by this gripping video.

Felix Da Housecat had a big 2009 which only adds to the wonderful career he has already enjoyed. There were so many great tracks to pick from on his 2009 release, He Was King, but ut was the video for "We All Wanna Be Prince" that won us over in the end.

The sixth song on our countdown comes from a man that is quickly becoming a Chicago icon. In 2009 Andrew Bird released his five studio album, Noble Beast, and the track we have selected is "Anonanimal”.

The seventh track on our countdown comes from a band that has been mentioned several times on The Deli over the last year. Loyal Divide's "Vision Vision" is my favorite track from their 2009 EP Labrador.

The eight song on our countdown comes from I Fight Dragons and their debut EP Cool is Just a Number which was released this past Spring. The track is "Money".
