YAY for the USPS!
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Dammit, I need to do my annual mix, and I'm JUST. NOT. MOTIVATED.
I need to do some serious music immersion, stat.
Does Joe Boucher or anyone else have the tracklisting for his mix? The one linked to on Jon's page doesn't seem to be there any more.
Shockingly, I'm not sure I bought enough new music in 2004 to make a Best Of mix. How did that happen??
And on another note, here is the tracklisting for my previously mentioned best of '04 mix:
Staring Out the World
- Kanye West - Jesus Walks
- Dizzee Rascal - Graftin'
- Junior Boys - High Come Down
- Robag Wruhme - Hugendubel
- The Knife - Heartbeats (Rex the Dog Remix)
- Narcotic Syntax - Electronic Liquid
- Dani Siciliano - Extra Ordinary
- Björk - Oceania
- Stina Nordenstam - I'm Staring Out the World
- Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme (Vocal Radio Edit)
- The Streets - Blinded By the Lights
- Turner - After Work
- Bloc Party - Banquet
- Kylie Minogue - I Believe in You
- Britney Spears - Toxic
- Destiny's Child - Lose My Breath
- Kanye West feat. Twista and Jamie Foxx - Slow Jamz
- Superpitcher - Tomorrow (Kaito Remix)
I'm happy to send anyone a copy of this, as well as my Buffista mix if you don't already have it. There are more details about the mix at my blog.
Can I get a copy of that, Angus?
Angus, I'd love a copy. Insent with my address in a moment.

See, my annual mixes aren't necessarily new stuff or stuff I just bought, but whatever songs strike my fancy for a new mix. The only rule is to not repeat a song I've used before in one of these.
No problems Jim and Kate, perhaps it's easiest if everyone who wants a copy just e-mails me with their postal address (and also whether you want the Buffista Mix too or just the '04 one).

I use anything I listened to a lot in the given year, preferably something released in the last few years. (This leaves me with a bit of a dilemma this year -- I've been obsessed with the Smithereens song "Behind the Wall of Sleep" all fall, but it's not either new or new to me.)
On listening to the draft, though, I think I'm probably dropping the Travis Morrison and adding Mary Lou Lord. I might use a different N*E*R*D song too, though I've put my favorite from the album ("Jump") on about six mixes this year.
