Music takes you back. I've been mulling over for a long time making a CD of songs yearby year, but I was put off by the fact I hadn't started earlier on. Which is stupid, but that's how my brain rolls. So here's my first one: 2008 in sound, a mix of the first time I heard favourite songs, and the times when songs became special, people, places, days out, moments. As much as I'd like to provide it with a commentary, the whole point of a songmix year as opposed to a summary is the subtle shades of inexplicable stuff. So if these songs mean something to you too, then you were probably there at the time, and if not then just enjoy it as music.

Here is 2008:

0. Get Over It - The Guillemots

1. Mr Brightside - The Killers

2. The Water is Wide (trad)

3. God only Knows - The Beach Boys

4. Black and Gold - Sam Sparro

5. Electric Feel - MGMT

6. Sister Winter - Sufjan Stevens

7. Bowie - Flight of the Conchords

8. She's Electric - Oasis

9. Girl Anachronism - the Dresden Dolls

10. Estonia - Marillion

11. Daniel - Elton John

12. The Beginning is the End is the Beginning - The Smashing Pumpkins

I'm fairly sure 2009 will be about twice this long. This filler post to make up for the fact I have been too whatever to post for a few days.
