As the title indicates, this was made with The French Connection in mind and if my burner starts co-operating the mix will land in France one day...

This is all 60's stuff, the music that was going on as I was growing up. I know everyone has their own favorite era of music and this is mine.

If you ever get the chance, listen to the opener. Its funny now but a lot of people believed it and took it seriously at the time. The segue between the opener and second track is as good as it gets.

Thank you valis for the opening track.

I'm not making a best of 2008 mix because of the all the turbulence in my musical and personal life. I can't wait to see other mixers lists though.

Masha remains my favorite track of the year. I have loved it from the first time I heard it.
