2005 Soundtrack

This year I finally started an annual project I've been wanted to do for years: at the end of each year, I'll create a CD with the music that most accurately reflects my year in music (not necessarily music released that year).

Selections could be artists I discovered, rediscovered, or just listened to a lot; it could be a particular song that I couldn't stop listening to; or it could be a song that represents a particular genre or type of song (such as covers, mash-ups, etc.). No real rules, other than it has to fit on a standard audio CD. My brother & friend also joined me in this music project, and I think it'll be interesting to see how our tastes change -- or not change -- over the years.

With that, here's my soundtrack for 2005 (in order of track listing):
  1. Radiohead: "Everything In Its Right Place"
  2. The Bad Plus: "Flim"
  3. Aimee Mann: "How Am I Different"
  4. Ted Leo & The Pharmacists: "The One Who Got Us Out"
  5. The Clash: "Clampdown"
  6. Jawbreaker: "Into You Like A Train"
  7. Sinkhole: "Burning, Itching, Irritation"
  8. Dick Dale: "Hava Nagila"
  9. The Futureheads: "Decent Days And Nights"
  10. The English Beat: "Twist And Crawl"
  11. Franz Ferdinand: "The Fallen"
  12. People Under The Stairs: "The Joyride"
  13. Kanye West: "Gold Digger"
  14. Beck: "E-Pro"
  15. Bad Religion: "Incomplete"
  16. Samiam: "Sunshine"
  17. Pixies: "Wave Of Mutilation"
  18. Hieroglyphics: "Oakland Blackouts"
  19. Mr. Lif: "Heavy Artillery"
  20. Man Or Astro-man?: "Theme From Eeviac"
  21. DJ Danger Mouse: "Encore"
  22. The Beatles: "You Never Give Me Your Money"
  23. Dave Brubeck: "Stompin' For Mili"
