Racecar

I named the 2002 compliation Racecar because it is one of my favorite short palindromes and 2002 is the last palindrome year of our lifetimes. This is the fifth end-of-the-year disc I've produced, which I believe is enough to officially call it a "tradition."

2002 featured a virtual tidal wave of new music, so it was never more difficult narrowing it down to 70+ minutes. Fortunately, I was aided by my trusty iPod which made reviewing songs (mostly on the commuter train to Boston) a breeze.

This year's compilation features the following tunes:

Ben Kweller: Launch Ramp
The Faint: Glass Danse
Interpol: PDA
Enon: In This City
The Sunshine Fix: Sail Beyond the Sunset
Beulah: Gene Autrey
Doves: There Goes the Fear
Big Star: My Life is Right
Eels: Woman Driving, Man Sleeping
Elbow: Any Day Now
Sondre Lerche: You Know So Well
Iron and Wine: Bird Stealing Bread
Well: Soothe Your Mind
Spoon: The Way We Get By
The Vines: Sunshinin'
Liars: Mr Your on Fire Mr
Blackstone Valley Sinners: Lethal Injection
Wilco: Heavy Metal Drummer
