How are you spending Black Friday?

Like this?

Or maybe like this?

Or quite possibly making this?

YUM!!

(in case you were wondering, yes, that is, in fact, leftover turkey in that dish)

Well, no matter how you spend it, we hope that your Thanksgiving was filled with love, laughter, and more food than you could possibly fit on one plate.

There’s been a lot going on in the music blogging world this week, so we thought today would be a great day to fill your minds and iPods with some words and music from a few of our favorite sites… and speaking of our favorite sites, congratulations to Daytrotter and NYCTaper for making PC Magazine’s Top 50 Blogs of 2009 list!

Enjoy the links and the rest of your weekend! Before you go, make sure to grab our playlist inspired by this very day below in the Dig-It section.
