Take It From Me -- The Scoop

OK, full disclosure: My ostensible year-end compilation CD, entitled Take it From Me Mix, contains 18 tracks, only half of which were actually from 2009. The rest were from 2008. Um, except for that one from 2007. I will cheerfully cop to having omitted many fine selections that actually were released in 2009, in favor of pieces I included for no better reason than I like them & I listened to them a lot this year, & plus 80 minutes is a finite number.

Distribution of these discs is & has been pursuant to the friends & family discount, terms of which are set forth as follows: I give you the CD & you, in turn, flatter my great taste in music. Win-win! For those not lucky enough to score a disc, links to the operative tracks will appear here over the next several days, along with my brief commentary on each.
