and I don’t feel any different… (Death Cab for Cutie, New Year, something I’ll be playing at midnight).

So, everyone else has been making lists of 2004 things, but I decided to wait until it was actually the end of the year. Unfortunately the only thing I got for waiting was Cal losing the holiday bowl and the largest natural disaster in recent memory (please help). Made for an unfortunate end to an otherwise perfectly good turn ?round the sun.

I decided to just do one list this year, and I think it’s a good one. Here is my “Soundtrack for 2004,” which fits on one 80-minute CD, and pretty much expresses my musical taste for the year, if not a little bit of what the world felt like during this time. Most of these songs are new from 2004, or at least recent.

So I guess I’m trying to start a meme. I don’t really care if you follow it, but the rules are simple: 80 minutes or less.
