dreamy music for the end of 2008

I spent the afternoon with big headphones—ones that cancel out the noise—to find that which is not noise for the end of 2008.

In keeping with this year where kthread became (more) eclectic, some transitions are spotty; all songs pertain to a significant person or event in the past twelve months. You’ll likely know who you are or what life choice I’m referencing.

From balmy Miami, I wish you a lovely evening and beginning to “All the First Pages” of 2009—

    Oso spread the work and I’m certain you now have a handful of new fans. Sweet podcast, nice latkes, and hopefully meet you sometime. Here’s a similar podcast that I made a few months ago: http://blip.tv/file/1421444

    Polite Dance Song and Shooting Stars had me off of my couch this morning. Great mix. Also, nice meeting you in Oakland (Spanish tapas joint with David.)

    Revaz, thanks, I know the G5 has exacting podcast standards. And great podcast, Undertow is new to me–I hadn’t thought about putting podcasts up in blip.tv (I’m going to borrow your idea) :) Look forward to meeting up at some point.

    Alejandro, great to meet you in Oakland, looks from your blog like you made it through the Great Portland Snowpocalypse to Seattle. btw, Found Gallery in L.A. might be another for your list (their Flickr), some street art sometimes–

    I experienced my first can’t-see-anything-on-the-road-because-of-giant-snowflakes incident and survived. Also, thanks for the Found Gallery tip. When can we expect another kthreadcooks episode? I’m hooked!

    Alejandro, yikes, new driving skills as an unexpected bonus to the road trip, maybe? I hope to have a new kthreadcooks up by Tues with an Inauguration theme :) suggestions are always welcome for themes and dishes—
