Collecting music has been difficult for me this year. I forced myself to give up illegal downloading (for the most part), and I haven't had any money to purchase albums the old fashioned way, which is to say without fear of prosecution. What follows is a collection of some of the stand out tracks among the music I have managed to procure. This is labeled "Part 1," but truthfully I'm not sure I'll have enough for a Part 2. I just didn't want to seem uncool.
NFTM-Jeff 1Due to my uploading frustrations last year, I have made no effort to organize these into a pleasing mix. The track list below reflects the order of the files when I zipped the folder:

2A Milli is better (actually it's on the short list for my favorite of the year) but there's no sense in being redundant.
