Onwards from 2004

I didn't do a wrapup post for 2004, and if there's one post you can count on me for per year, it's a wrapup post. So here is a semblance of such a post.

The past couple of years, I've made my sisters mix CDs at Christmas. Yes, we get them other presents, but I like making mix CDs, so I do that as well. This year, I even went all out and made covers & track listings, because I'd gone to the trouble of loading CD artwork into iTunes, and I finally had a chance to take advantage of it.

So anyway, I also made a CD for my dad, this year, which I hadn't done before. But what I realized a couple of days after giving him the CD is that the songs have a lot of, erm, fairly "inappropriate" language on them--specifically, language that shouldn't be a CD that you're giving to your dad. For Christmas.

But, listening to a lot of music, and being around my foul-mouthed wife, I didn't even think twice about it--and the worst part is that my dad doesn't notice lyrics at all, so he'll happily pass along the CD to my 12-year-old brother. Who does notice lyrics.

But hey! I didn't include "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)".

Here's a little montage of the some of the music I've listened to most myself this year, courtesy of Tatsuhiko Miyagawa's What you've listened to this year script.
