Excess Ain't Rebellion

The "Party of Me" artwork was inspired a little by Bjork's "Army of Me" mixed with my birthday and all. I meant to send a picture of lonely meloncholy mixed with with celebration, which is what I think defines country music.

Below is the randomly ordered long list from my potlatch of 2008. If you're interested in what songs made the final cut, you can scroll down. If you're just checking in for more information on the songs, all my research is listed here. I'm happy to do more research if you wish, just email me.
