Anybody making year end mixes?

... and added others that are great tunes, including one that is outstanding (Augie March - Clockwork) that prompted me to order the CD which I just got in the mail yesterday.

Ya know, I just remembered that I had kinda promised a couple people via pm to comment on that CD since they liked that tune as well, and I haven't got around to it. Sorry. It is a very good record, though I should've forewarned folks that track isn't very representative of the sound overall. They are usually more along the Kinks road, clever and concise, very melodic, while that track wanders more into the Radiohead arena, more of a 90s shoegaze sound. But very majestic. The record is mastered too hot and that does bug me some, stupid Sony, but I've really warmed up to it big time after kind of a slow start. Think I still like the last "Strange Bird" more, and took a few listens before it sunk in that I do really like this one. Kind of an odd flow, maybe that's it. Just didn't click at first. Still, as a big Kinks fan, these guys are about as close as it gets these days. Very poetic. Technically a 2006 release in their world, but 2007 in mine.


EDIT: BTW for those that got a copy and wanted to know more, I did finish updating the Holiday Mixer description at my site
