Anybody making year end mixes?

Flac's cool

I thought about Flac, but just offered mailings to people who wanted the CD quality stuff. Maybe I will get together a little zip file with flacs and cover art for download instead. It is cheaper and easier than mail in many cases.

Mr. Nobody,

You know I want one! I could d/l flac files is anyone knows a site where it's possible without too much hassle. Course your discs are usually worth at least a bit of hassle : ) CDs are always cool too.

Not that anyones sitting on the edge of their seat, but I'll kick mine out next week. Gonna be a little bit hard since a lot of my favorite discs are reasonably ubiquitous this year. That doesn't happen too often.

New Psychic TV? Hey, did you hear the beautiful cover of "The Orchids" that Tim Rutili and the Califone guys did on their last record? I kind of made it the centerpiece of my year end comp last year, along with the folky instrumental that lead into it. Very cool stuff. Sounds great on the vinyl too.

I did one at the end of November which turned out pretty good. Last year it was a bit too far toward the esoteric side, and got some questionable reactions at work from people less exposed to the dark side of indie rock. So I made it a little more commercial and upbeat sounding this year, at least for the first few songs, before it heads out to the darkness on the edge of town. But not too dark or weird, at least for me. Still maybe a little too weird for some. Wound up getting rid of about 25 copies this year, with here and work and friends and family. Obviously a fool's errand, and kind of nerdy too, but once you get started it's pretty easy to keep going. Strange (or maybe not depending on what you think of my taste in music ), even though both of our comps stay with a lot of the popular indie and alternative type stuff, there is absolutely no artist overlap. Kind of an odd music year for me...

And like a #+&@heel I never thanked you for sending me a copy. Thank you very much. DIdn't find another Wovenhand or National on there this year but it was a fun and educational listen and was appreciated.

Thanks,
