If I made this a mix of my actual very favorite songs of the year, it would be a triple-LP called Have One On Me. But since Joanna Newsom’s already released that mix, I went for a little more variety.

Thanks for including me in such fine company. Sorry to have missed the Taxpayers when they came through. Happy New Year!

Thanks for the mix! You have the BEST year-end mixes on the interwebs.
Thanks, Tyrone – I really appreciate it!
I don’t think I’ll be too too much regular blogging from now on, but I do plan on continuing with the year-end mixes.
Brian, that’s just straight up a fantastic song. You got the gift.
