Rab's Eclectic Christmas Mix 2007
here is the tracklist for my annual Christmas mix tape. actually a cd, plus a partial iTunes iMix, but thinking of attempting podcasting or streaming video or something next week… because this is becoming more and more of a collaborative effort every year that i do it, i want to share more about what went into song selection, influences, what the kids said, the album art that i created for liner notes (will post soon i promise), who gave me what tracks (much props to you all), and what tunes i really likes or what i wanted to include but had to cut. plus, i may have a b-sides disc for rock music, like i did in ‘04 this year. stay tuned.
12/25: added cd liner art for this year.
here’s the tracklist format: song track, artist, album, run time. i’ll try to include source linkage if i’ve got it. enjoy; oh and Merry Christmas!
