MPL Playlist: Songs of 2006

2006 has been a year of great music for me. When i first got into Computer Science almost a decade ago, i would have never thought that i would be this involved in the music industry. However, i am and because of it i have become exposed to some great artists – especially this year when i have been into the guts of our music recommendation service. From there, i’ve discovered some fantastic tunes. Some are sad, some are rockin’, but they are all amazing.

Here they are. I’ve linked each one to its track page on Qloud so you can listen to the entire song or if you want you can download each track.

This is just a fleece blanket with sleeves stiched in. It’s not a poncho, it’s not a robe and there’s no hole for your head. It’s just a blanket with sleeves. And, yes, it’s completely awesome. Only 104 days to Christmas
