"2005"

David's[*] cd documenting his last year (musically) - two songs each from My Morning Jacket, Wilco and the Arcade Fire, and a lot of other 'David' artists (White Stripes, Beck, Talking Heads...). I'd heard most of the songs before - some through David himself - but mix cds are always fun, not least for the way they recontextualise songs that one already knows, so it's still neat to listen to this cd all the way through. Favourite new song by a long way and one of my favourites on the cd full stop is My Morning Jacket's "Off The Record", which is ace and has prompted a certain amount of Z listening, of which more later.
