Best Music of 2007: My Year-End Mix
I didn’t draft a “Top 25 Albums of the Year” list this year – as usual, I had a hard time coming up with more than five new records that I’m passionate about, so in the end, I punted. But every year I make a mix CD of my favorite songs.
UPDATE: You can listen to it on my page on iMeem – WordPress won’t let me embed it, but it’s just a click away.
1. Twilight Sad, “That Summer At Home I Had Become the Invisible Boy”
2. Dirty Projectors, “Depression”
3. Charlotte Hatherley, “I Want You To Know”
4. Gruff Rhys, “Cycle of Violence”
5. M.I.A., “Bird Flu”
6. Carol Bui, “Modern Dance”
7. Fiery Furnaces, “Navy Nurse”
8. Of Montreal, “Faberge Falls For Shuggie”
9. Supersilent, “8.5″
10. Shapes and Sizes, “The Horse’s Mouthy Mouth”
11. Deerhunter, “Spring Hall Convert”
12. Panda Bear, “Bros”
13. Deerhoof, “Matchbook Seeks Maniac”
Hidden Bonus Track: Jonathan Coulton, “Still Alive [The Portal Credits Song]“
You could try the last.fm playlist feature – you can make a playlist and embed it into blogs pretty easily. The playlist has to have at least 15 songs, so you’ll need to add one more to your list.

Paul, that’s a really good idea – I’ll look into that. I was thinking of doing an iTunes playlist, but Supersilent and the Portal song are both missing – maybe I’ll have better luck there on Last.FM.
