If you’re just tuning in, it’s become tradition in the marusin(.com) household to record a year-end compilation of some of the best songs that I stumbled upon in the preceding year. 2004 marks the fourth annual compilation and honestly some of the best songs yet.

on Delicious Library right now. If you use a Mac, you simply must check this program out. It’s a program that allows you to keep inventory/check-out all of your media (such as books, cds, dvds, etc).
