soundtrack for the end of an era

so i figure, because i make soundtracks for pretty much everything, and most of my (important, psuedo & sometimes not-so-psuedo influential) memories are attached to music, it's only fitting, approaching this juncture in la vida that i explain the one that has been created from 2004-2008. the idea of becoming an actual person is terrifying, but if more time comes with more music like this, i'm all for it. ready, go. in no particular order, and sure to leave many out...

hello, babies. welcome to earth. it's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. it's round and wet and crowded. at the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. there's only one rule that i know of, babies—god damn it, you've got to be kind. -vonnegut-
