Sunday, December 30, 2007
To kick-off the playlist series for 'best', or favorite, songs of 2007, I have posted the first list below.

Brainstorm - Arctic Monkeys from Favourite Worst Nightmare
The Night Starts Here - Stars from In Our Bedroom After The War
Sleeping Lessons (RAC Mix) - The Shins from Wincing The Night Away
Your English is Good - Tokyo Police Club from Your English is Good
