2007 Mix CD

After several weeks of fussing with it, I think I've finally put together a 2007 mix CD that I can live with. I want to post the list and burn a CD of it now before I change my mind AGAIN about certain song choices or sequencing.

To put this mix together, I started with a list of over 40 songs that came out over the past year and (slowly) narrowed it down to these 19 songs that will fit on an 80-minute CD. My main rule was "one song per band," but of course, rules are meant to be broken, and the band Stars appears on this mix twice.

Most of these songs are my favorite selection (or the best mix-friendly selection) from their particular album, but a few tracks are simply singles I enjoyed from albums I have not yet obtained. If you're interested in receiving a copy of this mix CD, post a comment saying so.
