Making money from art is not vulgar. Art is a commodity. It makes people feel something. It raises the greater sum of human happiness. It increases the gaiety of the nation. It has a value. -John Allison

Anything that leads with a national track has got to be good!

Just skimming the titles, this is the first of your mixes where I didn't already have at least one track.

Downloaded, will burn to disc and listen in the car. Haven't heard very much from any of the groups you listed, except TMBG and the Avett Brothers (I'm seeing them the night before New Year's! Yayy! They are from my hometown!)

Can this be the place I do what I've been wanting to do, and post my year-end radio show? I think it can. Right?

Best songs/artists of 2008 (except maybe there would be some repeat artists, and a few things I edited out for time):

Sorry that some of these are hella overplayed/overhyped, but they are what I liked.

Vampire Weekend-- Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa
Thao Nguyen and the Get Down Stay Down-- Swimming Pools
Vivian Girls-- Tell the World
The Muslims-- Grinding Halt (cure cover) (cannot find their version, imagine the original but kind of...different. modern?)
(the muslim's really great original is "Extinction")
White Denim-- Let's Talk About It
She & Him-- I was made for you
Pattern is Movement-- Trolley Friend--- For some reason I cannot find this mp3 anywhere. Will keep looking.
The Acorn-- Flood pt 1
Bon Iver-- Skinny Love
Chad VanGaalen-- Willow Tree
Women-- Black Rice
French Miami-- Goddamn Best
No Age-- Teen Creeps

or the whole radio show, um... PM me your email if you want me to send it to you with "yousendit"

I am sorry that maybe everything on this list fits into one of two categories. And both of them involve "you know, like those bands dan likes from the 80s and 90s."

ok-- I am on a limit for how many files I can send with my free account, so I will wait a day or so in case any other brave souls want to hear an hour of my charming voice talking about how Zooey Deschanel is SO PRETTY and SO TALENTED, and No Age rock SO HARD etc.

At one point, also, I started singing along off-key and didn't realize the mic was still on for a few seconds.

I've never agreed with anyone more, on both points. Well, at least that No Age rock and that Zooey's pretty. Wasn't crazy about her record.

Vampire Weekend is one of those bands that I avoided for so long and then picked it up like 3 weeks ago, and you know, it's not bad.

Wow, you guys have like, taste and stuff. If I put up a mix it'd just be a lot of variations of metal and a bunch of stuff that didn't even come out this year.

Yeah, somehow I think that if I was going to put together a mix tape for this year with songs from Coldplay and GNR and Byrne/Eno on it, I would basically guarantee that every person would hate at least one of those three tracks. Oh God, throw in Ben Folds, you know. There would be no thematic to it, no style, no unification, just a bunch of things that I like that vaguely fall under the banner of "rock".

I would be bad at this.

There is no right or wrong to a mix tape/CD.  Just put what YOU want on it.  If other's don't like it, tough shit for them.

Well, yes and no.

While you want it to be all stuff you like, you do sort of want the metaphorical rug to tie the metaphorical room together. Metaphorically.

I would probably do great mix-things, if I understood how to technically these days with the mp3s and the ftps and the FBI and the CIA and the BBC BB King and Doris Day, under certain situations don't get me wrong... I basically organize a short-hand "soundtrack" for any long form writing I work on and could do a killer "Last Songs" mix-disc of the last songs on the last legitimate records of bands/performers/iterations-of-bands... "the songs of a year" I would just have trouble finding the rug to piece it together.

...metaphorically.
