Annual Birthday Mix CD (1.5 Weeks Early)

[jetpack_monkey]

You can tell I'm avoiding actual accomplishment when I've managed to put together my annual mix CD a whole eleven days before my birthday. I think this is the last year where it's going to be just one CD. As I add another track for every year (the mix that represents the year I was 25 has 25 tracks, the one for age 24 has 24, etc.), it gets harder to squeeze all of the music onto a single CD. Not that anybody actually, y'know, listens to 70-minute audio CDs anymore.

Anyway. Same drill as before. Each track is either a song I discovered, listened to incessantly, or that speaks to some part of the last twelve months. I offer no interpretations or explanations.

This year as a bonus, I've included a CD cover and track listing that should (I think) fit neatly in a jewel case. I'll upload a zip file of the mix as soon as I get some of the iTunes tracks converted to a usable format.

You, sir, win for the inclusion of Queen on this mix.

I agree about Queen. Tears for Fears and Avenue Q are also great selections. Overall, an interesting collection of music. This is a really cool idea.
BTW, Early Happy Birthday.

It's awesomely hilarious. It combines the plots of the first two films plus random recontextualized quotes from Army of Darkness.

Also, it has a songs like "All the Men In My Life (Keep Getting Killed by Kandarian Demons)" and "Do the Necronomicon."
