Comment:

I guess this was a great year for people in love with the 80's - at least musically. I'm kinda so-so on the whole scene - there are some catchy tid-bits here and there but I just can't get into all of it. The highlights for me were more strong showings by Local H, Ash, Wilco & Vanderslice - and the emergence of Muse's album 'Absolution' and the new sound of Phantom Planet (which at first I didn't care for). I don't listen to the radio much, but I've found plenty of new bands (or new to me) to dig this year such as The Damnwells, Dogs Die in Hot Cars, Keane, Rilo Kiley & The Dears. So, it's been a pretty sucessful year. I want to send a big shout out to AOTM for getting me hooked on blogging and getting to know some AOTMers through it - who I've promised copies of this mix to. And I would love to say thanks to Hemizen and French Connection for their interest and comments on my last few mixes - you guys rule! Take care & Enjoy!
