Happy 2007 Everybody!

Man, can you believe the Democrats were able to take over the House and Senate in this crazy year 2006? Hopefully my Indianapolis Colts have what it takes to make it to the Super Bowl. Man, this housing bubble never seems to want to pop, does it? Probably never will.

For serious, now: I’m re-posting this mix, my first year-ender from 2006, because I think it’s pretty good–one of the best I’ve made, I think. And it turns out: 2006 was a good year for music, too! Remember? The mix is also pretty dancey (or at least focused on rhythm [until the end, but people will be cashed-out by then]), in case you need some last-minute iPod material for your New Year’s fiesta. 2006? 2008? your friends won’t know the difference, and your real friends know but don’t care. Your enemies? Fuck them, anyway.

Here’s to 2007 being the greatest year ever!
