2007 Ends In 21

I am not usually an end-of-the-year mix type. Typically, it's too much bother for me to put together what is ultimately a mix of music that only I will love.

But last year's music buying was unprecedented, and really why shouldn't I make the ultimate mix for myself. This mix is notable in the number of new albums that didn't make the cut. The cut being a totally artificial 80 minute CD limit. I have no intention of burning this to CD. But what can I say, I like the constraint.

I figure that there is at least one song on here that at least one friend will like, so I'm sharing it. If not, I can use it as the foundation of a loathsome "my music taste is better than yours" debate.
