I come from the East, bearing lists

Not too far east of here, mind you - I was in England visiting relatives for a couple of weeks over the holidays. And before that...well. It turns out that I vastly overestimated how much free time I'd have during the final semesters of my undergrad. But that's concluding now, and I decided to come back with link/mp3-heavy year-end posts on music in 2009, all week long. Today is download-only stuff and reissues; tomorrow will be live shows; Thursday is albums; and then finally a massive list of individual tracks. (There'll be a year-end list of comics too, it's just been delayed by remedial reading.) I have exciting unrelated news, but I'm gonna wait until the details, unlike this gankable bounty, are up online.
