The New Year's Rockin' Eve 2007 Super Mix
Not since the Oscar-Winning-Actress-Divorces-Non-Oscar-Winning-Actor-Husband has there been such an anticipated and general crowd-pleasing tradition as my annual New Year's Rockin' Eve Super Mix series. Although Ryan Phillippe, Benjamin Bratt, Alec Baldwin, Hank Azaria, and Chad Lowe have yet to listen to this year's installment, I'm sure they'd all find it a fitting consolation prize to their failed relationships. Yes folks, it's that good!
Sarah the L already has hers and she said it best: "[The kick-ass Mr. Benchly's Super Mix, which by far, is always the highlight of my year is] this year's latest and greatest." Other glowing reviews come from Rolling Stone (“I haven’t heard anything this year that’s as inventive [as Mr. Benchly’s Super Mix]”); Roger Ebert (“[Mr. Benchly’s Super Mix]” is the best of the Star Wars films, and the most thought-provoking”); and the BBC ("[Mr. Benchly's Super Mix] is a powerful testament to the suffering of the Jewish people during the Second World War...").
If you were the track listing on this CD, you’d be 18 world peace-inspiring, solid-gold lines of kick-ass, soul-pounding music written in a Times New Roman font!:

Just like last year, I'm taking orders for this year's mix, and unlike last year, I'll deliver on my promise to send them to you. As proof, Montana Girl will be pleased to find this year's Super Mix as well as last year's mix in her possession in 2-3 days. I’ll also be sending out copies to the Redhead, Ms. Parker, and Mayday shortly (with complimentary 2006 mixes as well) so act now while supplies last. You won’t regret it!
