Because it's nice to get something in the mail...

My annual "Best of" CDs have been sent out. I know I've been saying this for the last few years, but this will really probably be the last year I do this.

If you didn't get one and you think you'd like a copy, drop me a line.

Here's the track list for "The Best of 2006 By P. Canole". Think of this as a countdown, with the songs getting better as you go:

1. Crazy...Gnarls Barkley*
2. Gold Lion...Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3. I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor...Arctic Monkeys
4. Sing Me Spanish Techno...The New Pornographers**
5. The Denial Twist...The White Stripes**
6. You Only Live Once...The Strokes
7. Ticket to Immortality...The Dears
8. Long Way Home...Tom Waits
9. Smile...Lily Allen
10. Fidelity...Regina Spektor
11. There's Always Someone Cooler Than You...Ben Folds
12. Skip to the End...The Futureheads
13. When You Wasn't Famous...The Streets
14. Another Sunny Day...Belle & Sebastian
15. Moving to L.A....Art Brut
16. LDN...Lily Allen
17. Wolf Like Me...TV On the Radio
18. Star Witness...Neko Case


* Yeah, I'm sick of "Crazy", too. But it will age well. Trust me.

** The White Stripes and New Pornographers albums came out in 2005, but these songs were released as singles in January 2006.

You love the Neko Case. "There's Always Someone Cooler Than You" is pretty old too. He recycled it - it was on Sunny 16 (the second in the EP trilogy) and Songs for Goldfish, which shipped with Songs for Silverman in 2005. I guess it squeaks in because of Supersunnyspeedgraphicn ... but it should have two asterisks. :)

Well, a true hipster also would have had the Lily Allen and Art Brut CDs in 2005. But this isn't really a democracy, it's a dictatorship. So I get to make up the rules as I go...

I'm a fan of this year's Best Of. I keep forgetting to send you replacement stamps though. :)
