As usual it’s been too long since I posted anything of substance. I look at some of my favorite sites, and there’s something new posted every day and I have to think that they must not do anything else except blog. Either that or I’m very slow. Probably a bit of both. Even this began as a zip file I just wanted to throw up, and now I’m into more than an hour spent writing practically nothing.
As stated previously the blog began as a series of mix cd’s made in response to the demise of my evil i-Pod. I called them now that’s what I call bullshit as a comment on the popular series of Top 40 compilations called Now That’s What I Call Music. It was a way of processing the ton of music coming my way through friends, downloads, and occasional purchases while I was driving two hours down to South Jersey on surfari.
Many songs posted were originally featured on the cd’s.
I made the first one for Memorial Day weekend in 2006. Here is number 50.
A swell compilation of highlights from the blog so far. It will fill a blank cd nicely, or remain files you can do with what you please.
You can find the link in the comments.

Thanks for this & the four later Now That’s…….Good stuff & pleased to see all links still live. Cheers!
I am new to the concept and wondering how did Almendra end up here… Well, I’ll keep listening!
Thanks for this.
Randomly discovered Almendra through the internet.
