2008 - First Half Mix

This is a compilation from the first two mixes narrowing down my favorite songs even more. This solidifies the songs I really like and usually results in a more enjoyable listen than the first two quarter mixes. The difficulty is cutting songs which are obviously good because of size limitation. This results in songs i love having to be dropped as well as folks getting mad because I chose _____ over _____. The final purpose for this First Half mix is to provide a more condensed mix that replaces the first two. When I post my 3rd quarter mix I will thus remove the 1st & 2nd quarter mixes. The artwork: I created the artwork as a tribute to three great albums from this year and the artists who made them, Gnarls Barkley, The Roots, Erykah Badu.
