Comments on the mix: After making a number of winter mixes that were supposed to be warm and cozy, I thought it was time for something cold and decadent. This mix is meant to convey the highs and lows of an endless night on the town.

Comments on the mix: After 2005 and 2006, here's my third year-end wrap up. Unlike the previous two mixes, I don't own all these albums (1, 4, 10, 11, 12 or 13 are just singles I picked up). Jarvis Cocker and Au Revoir Simone were my dud purchases this year, but there was lots of fabulous music to compensate! (I actually put this together at the end of November, so who know what I might buy in my final month.)
