Comment:

A hostess gift for my favorite frien.d here in Cabo, the inimitably well-heeled and musically-clued in, Denise. She had us all over for Christmas, and I wanted to give her a Christmas mix with a ble.nd of old stuff (Cha.rlie Brown sdtrck, Atom's riff on Jews on Xmas, etc) and new holiday 08 tunes (KT, Weezer, Figurine, Apples, Raveonettes) and things a bit more specific (Shout Out Louds because it's darn warm here in December, Bright Eyes because we both used to be Conor Oberst geeks, Waits and Arcade Fire because Denise used to be in a Christian cult... no, really), Regina and Bruce because they rule, etc.

The theme was Christmas. Christmas for people with great taste in music. I even had liner notes. I'm a dork!
