I was trying to top last year's mixtape,
but I lowered my criteria and decided to at least equal it.
There are just too many factors to consider.
The songs have to blend together
(the end of one has to flow seamlessly into the beginning of the next),
no artist can be repeated twice (given),
they have to have had some real significance to me in the year they represent,
and each side must be exactly 44 minutes, 30 seconds, and change.
