Time for my third-annual set of year-end mixes. In 2008 I made three, in 2009 I made four, and this year it jumped to six. Those of you who followed along with my Summer Friday series will likely recognize a few of these songs. These pretty much represent what new music I listened to this year. There are a few songs (Disc 6 mainly) here that don't appear on any of my year-end coverage…consider them strays in need of a home. A few that may appear on some other year-end stuff next week. And I just plain left a couple artists off (sorry Anika).
I tried just grouping random hours worth of the songs on each mix, but scrapped that in favor of vaguely-themed…shades of white. These turned out real good if you ask me. Enjoy, happy holidays, no shuffling, and see you in 2011.
