I’ve been sitting on this one for too long. Well not so much sitting, as bopping in my chair. The dog’s been looking at me funny. You will be too. I mean the bopping, more than the looking funny. You are beautiful. I swear.
So much good music this year. And I just have to keep the tradition alive (search this blog for music mixes going back to 2006). I know you guys need you fix of the yearly music mix. enjoy!

Nice, thanks. I subscribed to the Rdio playlist.
no stars tom? =(
doh I know. I should have added Stars. Funny enough that shot was taken at a Stars show (Diamond Rings were opening). Maybe it’s just not the same with them any more. I did though have a funny nostalgic experience with the Stars and amazon.com the other day (they keep a *really* long history of your CD purchases it turns out. But that story could be worth a post on its own.
 enjoy!
Hmm – what happened to tracks 16 and 19, dude?
