It’s that time of year…the time when instead of holiday greeting cards, I make my friends a mix CD. I’ve titled this year’s compilation ‘Sharing The Laughter And Love’, and here are the tunes that made the cut:

1. Cactus-David Bowie (I was front row at Area:2 this summer. Watching a legend up close like that was amazing. This is my fave track off his latest disc ‘Heathen’.)

2. Trusty Chords-Hot Water Music (I saw HWM twice this year. The second time I was climbing onstage to film them, then I got stuck and the crowd saw up my kilt. But then watching them from the side of the stage made up for my embarassment.)

3. Cut Your Ribbon- Sparta (Saw these guys twice this year too, once in a tiny club and the next in a bigger venue. I was sad to see ATDI end, but elated to see these guys rise from the ashes.)

4. Kemp-Millencolin (Got to meet them after their show. I felt so lucky. They were just so cool.)

5. City Of Angels-The Distillers (my favourite band released a new album in February and I haven’t stopped listening to it since. I just can’t say enough about Brody.)

6. Tall Cans In The Air-The Transplants (Who knew that punk rock+hip hop would = really effing good music?)

7. Oh-Sleater Kinney (I wish I had someone to sing a song like this about.)

8. You Could Be Mine- G’N'R (I got to see them before the tour was canned. It was amazing. Honest.)

9. No One Knows- QOTSA (Wicked live show. Wicked album. Wickedest video featuring roadkill.)

10. Hey Domingo-Weezer (One of the many tracks I downloaded when I was obssesed with their website. Saw them for the third and fourth time this year. Fell in love with bassist Scott Shriner both times.)

11. There goes the fear-Doves (I listen to this when I’m sad)

12. You Are My Joy- The Reindeer Section (I listen to this to make me happy.)

13. Flake-Jack Johnson (Makes me want to run away to California.)

14. Reflections-Diana Ross and The Supremes (I put this one on when I have to do something lame like clean the bathroom and the time just flies.)

15. Big Pimpin’(live) -Jay Z (The Jay-Z Unplugged disc is soo good! I’m still undecided about the Blueprint 2.)

16. 20 Dollars- Angie Stone (The best song to listen to when you’re fed up.)

17. The Scientist- Coldplay (Does this song make everyone cry? Man, I’m such a girl sometimes.)

Hey jenn..what in your mix?
