2011 Music In Review (by @jaehoyer)

First of all, Happy New Year!!!! As is tradition since time in memoriam, the first mixes of a new year tend to be reflections on the best of what we heard in the previous year.  Our first mix of 2012 comes from Justine Hoyer, who gifted us with this excellent mix of her faves from 2011. Hard to argue with any of these. Earlier this year, Justine gave us our 100th mix (The Spring Mix) and it was pretty awesome, as well.

DJ Scott: No, you’re not going to hear Pink Floyd’s Money or Industrial Disease by Dire Straits in this mix. The title stems from the appearance of these songs in recent television commercials. This playlist is actually pretty interesting even though advertisements can be really annoying. I’ve linked to the associated commercials on YouTube below if you’re interested.

Tracklist (click a song title to buy the high quality, DRM-free MP3 from Amazon):

  1. Everybody’s Happy Nowadays – The Buzzcocks (AARP)
  2. The Funeral – Band of Horses (Ford)
  3. Sky Blue Sky – Wilco (VW)
