And it could have easily been a couple of tracks longer. I blame a couple of things: all the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sxsw.com\/\">South by Southwest<\/a> retrospectives I listened to last month, and way too many free sampler albums downloaded at Amazon.com. And then, of course, <a href=\"http:\/\/lectio.ca\/\">Heather<\/a> sent me a mix CD, and there was lots of really good music on <em>that<\/em>.Trust me: this is ridiculously long, over two hours of music, but this is <em>after<\/em> did some pruning and cut some tracks. (There are a couple of repeat bands, but there could have been more.) <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana\">Anyway, this is what I was listening to last month, if you were curious. I&#8217;m starting to remember why I limited myself to just 12 songs a month last year.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I swear, I never expected it to get so out of hand.
