And, if you haven’t done it already, make sure you check out the other monthly mixes.

Also, if you want to download all the individual tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions.

Let’s continue our look back on this year and it’s awesomeness (musically anyway). This time I went through the trouble of adding “buy” links, so if you find yourself listening to something on this list over and over fork some of your hard earned cashmoney, ok?

This morning I have a bunch of indiepop goodness in the form of Slumberland Records mp3s.
