A Mid-Year Mixtape
It’s crazy to think that we’re already about half-way through 2008. It seems like just yesterday when I was ringing in the New Year in a cozy cabin-like bar in Vermont, while feet of snow accumulated outside. But here we are, in mid-June, leaving me to wonder how half-a-year flew by so quickly. When I began pulling this mixtape together, I thought that it would be a breeze to pick out some of my personal favorites of the year so far, but, as you can see, it became quite extensive. There were a couple more that I would have included on here, but the list was getting out of hand. None of the selected tracks are very surprising if you read this site regularly.
