Comment:

A de facto best of '07 mix, made and sent weeks ago for DJ Palindrome with an attempt to avoid things he might already have (not quite successful on that count, specifically YLT, Cash and Destroyer, at the very least). A worthwhile effort, I think; title from YYYs.

Worthwhile, indeed. And quite interesting because there are several tracks on here that I would not consider to be bests of 2006. (Our tastes might have differed more this year than others.) Regardless, I honestly dig everything in the context of this mix, and it's good to have samples of what I missed and a window into what you didn't. Finally, to reassure you, I only had the YLT and Destroyer albums when I received this. M. Ward's record was sent to me a couple weeks after this. Don't have Cash, though I'm familiar with the song. Good stuff.
