This mix more or less follows a dance club theme -- albeit a bookish one -- with a softer, appetizers-and-drinks portion in the middle. Then the real party busts loose.
Props to Matthew Perpetua for No. 21.

Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken IS the best track of 2006. That Cheated Hearts is pretty good, too.
