I am having a really hard time editing myself down to the 60 songs for my Super Fantastic Mix cds for the year. So much so that the covers are not going to be in the regular mix and you’ll only get them here. Check after the jump for the track listing and ysi link to grab the tunes.
P.S. Disclaimer....the covers I chose were not necesarily recorded or released this year. These are just the best of what I happened to discover this year.
P.P.S. Bonus in the listen section is the lo-fi version of Tegan and Sara doing Rihanna’s “Umbrella”.
