description:
Pretty much every time my friends hold a party, I'm asked to get the music - implied "make a mixtape, extra long". But nobody actually, explicitly says "don't bring a live show". So why not, if I could?
This is the "let's pretend I was able to pull all kinds of strings and bring the most awesomest live entertainment for the 2008/2009 New Year's party instead of just another shitty mixtape". A couple weeks belated, but hey. Think of my hangover.
Oh, and I set myself one limitation - no dead people. I'm just not a very good necromancer. Otherwise the ghosts of Elliott Smith and Jeff Buckley might have made their way into the lineup.

| 1 | Bob Dylan & The Band : Million Dollar Bash |

I don't think I could possibly keep Dylan out of my dream line up. And as opening track, it's certainly fitting.

| 2 | Broken Social Scene : Ibi Dream of Pavement (a Better Day) |
