This has been an eight year (and running) project for me starting when my lovely wife bought me a CD burner for Christmas in 2001.  For almost as long as I’ve bought music in high quantities (about 8th grade) I’ve dreampt of making compilations by the year.  Why would anyone want to do something so tedious?  I’m not really sure but it must be something in my nature- probably the history major in me.  I am obsessed with history, chronology and obviously music.
