I made you a mix CD

Thank god I had my laptop before I drove through the Rocky Mountains between Frisco and Denver, not once, twice but 4 times in two days. Had to do with a missed flight, icy roads, gust of winds, white outs and eventually highway closure due to "avalanche mitigation". Don't you like the sound of that? After I turned around when the first trip was cancelled (2 hours driving), I went back to the condo and made a cd. Thank goodness because there are few consistent radio stations. The drive to Denver took 4 hours to go 70 miles. These are pictures to give you an idea but it was a lot worse, and probably the scariest driving I ever encountered. I have been driving for 23 years now.



Here's the mix, some of the best songs of 2007:

1. Spoon - The Underdog
2. The New Pornographers - Challengers
3. Maximo Park - Our Velocity (fav part of song starts at 1:49. I like pop music)
4. The National - Fake Empire (prob top 3 songs of year for me)
5. The National - Start a War
6. Okkervil River - Unless it Kicks (#4)
7. Okkervil River - John Allyn Smith Sails
8. St. Vincent - Now Now
9. Spoon - You Got Ur Cherry Bomb (top 3)
10. Against Me! - Thrash Unreal (who can't love this song)
11. Arcade Fire - No Cars Go
12. M.I.A. - Paper Planes (I know it is about robbing and murder, but it is catchy!)
13. the everybodyfields - aeroplane
14. Kings of Leon - Fans
15. Bodies of Water - I guess we'll forget the sound
16. Arcade Fire - Intervention (Guess also top 3. That's it for top 3!)
