It’s absolute, my friends. CSVMAD has turned one year old! The past year has been chock full of great music, and I have to say that although I was hesitant at first about even starting a music blog, I’ve had such a delight doing it. Call me over-enthusiastic, but there’s something about embellishing in another’s music that makes me feel as though I somehow had something to do with it. Each Sufjan lyric, each Andrew Bird pluck of the violin, each chilling note of a Nick Drake masterpiece–these are the things that we all help create. These are the reasons why we listen in the first place.

Here’s to another fantastic year,
Benji

What would this celebration be without a mix? Here’s one song for each month, each having to deal with the number one.
