Best of 2006 Mix
{Previous Mixes}

 To create my annual "best of" mix I wanted to try something a little different. Usually I go through the monthly mixes and pick out the best songs, try to put them into a good flow and call it day. I did that first and realized I was bored with the selections. I was clicking past Gnarls Barkley, the Knife and Thom Yorke. So I turned to new albums and fresh discoveries like Beach House, The Album Leaf and Clipse. They make for nearly half the mix being songs I've never featured.

The songs that did make appearances on my earlier mixes are those that I can seemingly hear again and again, like the Killers lead single from Sam's Town and Band of Horses anthemic dirge "Funeral." Overall it's a good mix of favorites and emerging new sounds to say goodbye to 2006.
