For anyone who hasn’t been following along, stolte-sawa and I have, over the past week, been laying out the steps to make a good compilation. This article was supposed to go up yesterday but apparently s-s is busy with something-or-other so I’m filling in.

Even though I’m heroically coming to the rescue by posting the final list, I won’t step on stolte-sawa’s toes and will give her the honors of the song-by-song breakdown (either in comments or by e-mailing me and giving me text to insert.)

I will, however, award bonus points for correctly guessing what songs each of us picked.

Without further ado, here’s the list ListenIn recommends for closing out 2007 and warmly welcoming 2008.

Death Cab for Cutie: The New Year
Stereolab: Rainbo Conversation
The Roots: What They Do
Edith Piaf: Pour Moi Tout’ Seule
Van Morrison: Moondance
Gene Krupa Orchestra: Feelin’ High and Happy
Bob Marley: Could You Be Loved
Al Green: Take Me To The River
Basement Jaxx: Jus 1 Kiss
Daft Punk: Digital Love
Louix XIV: Finding Out True Love is Blind
Nelly and JT: Work It
Peter Gabriel: In Your Eyes
Missy Elliott: Dat’s What I’m Talkin’ Bout
Massive Attack: Exchange
Prince: On the Couch
Ray Noble Orchestra: Midnight, the Stars and You
Beach Boys: Auld Lang Syne

For everyone that’s been with us since Monday, and everyone coming in late: thanks for reading and happy mixing!
