2012 Soundtrack

Another year, another soundtrack project mix. I have a lot of my usual suspects (Beatles, Wire, People Under the Stairs, Rush) and some artists that have followed me since high school (New Order, Simple Minds, Beastie Boys, Rush). The trend I see is that when I started this project in 2005 my taste in music …

2011 Soundtrack

It’s now year seven of my annual soundtrack project. I ended up with a lot more new music (actually released in 2011) than in past years.

2010 Soundtrack

2009 Soundtrack

2009 Soundtrack

Here’s 2009’s soundtrack. This is the first year that there’s no real punk or hardcore on my annual list (not that I didn’t listen to any, but there were no clear picks for 2009). Perhaps I’m mellowing with age? Listen on Apple Music People Under the Stairs: “Acid Raindrops (Instrumental)” The Beatles: “Dig A Pony” …

2008 Soundtrack

2008 Soundtrack

This is the fourth year of my annual soundtrack project, and here is this year’s summary of my musical tastes. Again, the only rule is that the songs chosen have to fit on a regular audio CD. Listen on Apple Music (except for *) Thes One: “Gate City Savings And Loan” The Shins: “Little Boxes” …

2007 Soundtrack

2007 Soundtrack

Another year, another soundtrack. And this year I actually chose a different Samiam song (I didn’t realize that chose the exact same song for 2005 and 2006…I must really like it). Anyway, here’s a summary of my musical tastes for 2007 (listen on Apple Music): Beatles: “Strawberry Fields Forever” The Alarm: “Up for Murder” The …

2005 Soundtrack

This year I finally started an annual project I’ve been wanted to do for years: at the end of each year, I’ll create a CD with the music that most accurately reflects my year in music (not necessarily music released that year). Selections could be artists I discovered, rediscovered, or just listened to a lot; …
