I was going to put a cool Jeff Cohen quote here but then I read these terms at the bottom of the article page: “All rights reserved. This copyrighted material may not be published, broadcast or redistributed in any manner.” So hit the link, scroll to the bottom and drink in the irony of this article that touches on mobile web interaction and declarative living vs News & Observer’s content terms and conditions of use.
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!
