Sound Of My Mind

Here is my 25 song playlist of my favorite songs of 2007, which I call "Sound Of My Mind". The mix title comes from the Shake Some Action! song "Sound Of Your Mind" (the first song selected for the playlist). Songs were added and dropped over the course of the year, and this is a snapshot as of 12/31/2007.  It really did all year to compile.

All the songs start with the letter S, which started out as a coincidence, but then I decided to only include songs that started with S. This left out a lot of my favorite albums of the year (Spoon, Springsteen, Rogue Wave, New Pornographers) that didn't have songs that started with S, but I usually don't have a lot of overlap between "favorite albums" and "favorite songs" every year.

I chose 25 songs so everything would fit in a 5x5 iTunes mosaic collage like the one below. To print the cover from iTunes, just do a File->Print with a theme of "Mosaic".  It's available as a two part download, but it's only 79 minutes long so it burns easily on a CDR. The 18 tracks available on emusic are also included on an emusic mix, for subscribers who want to hear more. 

Not to blow my own horn, but I've listened to all these songs a bunch of times and they're all really good, so everyone should find something to enjoy here.  I've included artist and youtube/mp3 song links in the tracklist. And away we go!
