the year of the dog

Dave and I listen to a lot of music. In the car, on the computer, on the ipod, there's always some kind of music going. So I thought, why not chronicle our years together by compiling all the music we are listening to on a yearly basis. This started last year with a CD called "the year of the apartment" and this year's mix is called "the year of the dog."

Behold:

Sigh No More - Mumford and Sons
Waking up in Vegas - Katy Perry
Heartless - Kris Allen
I Gotta Feeling - The Black Eyed Peas
Tears Wont Fall - Farewell Milwaukee
The Cave - Mumford and Sons
The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie - Me Without You
The Rat Within the Grain - Damien Rice
Fever - Peggy Lee
Transatlanticism - Death Cab for Cutie
All is Love - Karen O & The Kids
Reaction - Ace Enders
All I Have - Mat Kearney
Get Me Right - Dashboard Confessional
At the Bottom - Brand New
Comin' Round to Get You - Farewell Milwaukee
Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus

Now, obviously we listened to more music than what this list represents, but these are the songs or the artists that we kept going back to over the last year. We recommend that you check out Mumford and Sons and Farewell Milwaukee if you've never heard them. They are two of our favorites.

And I'm not sure if we ever shared last year's mix with y'all, so here is the Year of the Apartment:
