I realized that I haven't posted my year-end reissues mix tracklist--I'd planned to make it for Idolator's year-end, but that didn't pan out the way I'd planned. Anyway, this is, I think, the best mix CD I've ever made. Rules for inclusion are simple: a song had to be reissued in 2008, and I either had to not know it beforehand or it had to have horned itself into my life during '08 in such an obviously intrusive way that I couldn't ignore it (the latter is the reason for the Bellamy Brothers' inclusion--that, and it was a hit again in the U.K. on the back of a TV ad).
