I'm working on my annual xmas comp (late as usual). I had several themes in mind but decided to go with songs about the telephone, that take place on the telephone or use telephone metaphors (and I went with that rather than some of my other ideas because before I knew it, I had made more paid downloads than I could justify doing for research I wasn't going to use). I haven't put them in their final order yet. And there might be some weeding.
