Favorite Songs 2008

One of my usual end-of-year projects is to create a CD of my favorite songs which came out in the past year.  This year, thanks to cool technology, I was able to upload mp3s of the songs to 8tracks.com and I can share them with you all!


Here's the full song list, in order on the CD:

  1. Post It 4:02 The Aluminum Group Little Happyness
  2. Horizon 4:23 Ashby The Best of Marina Records
  3. Birthday 3:30 The Bird And The Bee One Too Many Hearts

  20. One Fine Day 4:55 David Byrne & Brian Eno Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
  21. Lovely Day 3:26 The Aluminum Group Little Happyness

Notes 
  • Due to licensing restrictions, I could only include 2 songs by each artist.  I'd only chosen 2 Winterpills songs, so they were safe, but I had to deselect something from the Aluminum Group; you can see their Beautiful Eyes video below.
  • I can only listen to 30-second clips from each song in my mix -- hope they sound ok to you!
  • If you like any of these songs or artists, please consider buying their CD!

Very cool -- thanks, Stephanie! I will be sure to listen. Also thanks for the site recommendation; I hadn't use 8tracks before. Happy holidays!
