Wrestled with including Annie since she won Pitchfork’s poll and the song placed 32nd in Pazz & Jop, but decided to anyway since the song/album came out in America a month ago. I’ll probably replace “Dennis Brown” with “This Year” or “Dance Music” (the latter is more likely, its brevity would allow more space for other stuff); the main reason I went w/”SFDB” is that it was close to hand and I figured I’d be honest enough with the concept, limiting myself to songs I’d already included on previous CD-R Go!s for SW. No R. Kelly this time because I went for songs I’d played a ton, and even “Chapter 2,” my favorite “Closet” part, doesn’t get spun that often chez moi.
