Comment:

Okay. This is the final revision of my 2002 year-end mix, reflecting my personal best out of the albums that I heard through 12/31/02. I'd have deleted the other mix or updated it, but I didn't want to stiff the folks who had posted such cool feedback on it; as such, I'm not expecting a flood of commentary, but I wanted to post this for my own completist satisfaction. Title from the Owen song. Enjoy.

I haven't heard much of this, but I think it would be a great way of hearing the best of last year's music, since I trust your judgement ,Rob. top of the pile please, my friend, and when you feel up to another round of trades, please say the word.

Rob: This looks awesome. Glad to see your Wilco choice, that is my favorite track on that album, love to see Okkervil River on anyone's mix, and I really like that Bright Eyes song despite it being the least-favorite of critics reviewing Lifted.

Thanks, folks. Summer: That's my favorite song on the Bright Eyes album BY FAR; in fact, I think it is almost single-handedly responsible for the high ranking that I give that record (his unbelievably sophomoric political bullshit gets old).

I'm with Gerard on this one, Rob. Lots of stuff I haven't heard, but would like to. Whenever you're up for trading, I'd like to include this one in the pile.

i don't know how the extra glen's record got overlooked by seemly everyone, and yet it did.
