#13 & 14 :: THE 2006 HOLIDAY SWEET MIX

This year I decided to get back in the game of making a Holiday Mix CD for friends and family. So I decided I'd just post it here as well. It's a nice wrap up activity to document the last years listening habits, though it quickly exploded into a ginormous collection. It was tough just getting it down to the 2 disc compilation you see here. I didn't post each song individually. They are packaged together in ZIP files with cover art and all. If your on dial up, it's gonna be a long wait. And oh yeah, if you like an artist buy the CD. Preferably directly from them. I am sure they will appreciate it.



This is disc is all about guilty pleasures and the songs you don't have to think about to get. They are just damn good hummable tunes that make your head bop up and down and don't need any explanation as to why it is the way it is.

The songs on this disc are a little weirder, a little rougher, and are not always the easiest to get to know. But there is not a dud in the bunch. All highly recommended.
