Float On - Songs 2004 FV

This is the first mix in the Songs 2004 group of mixes in the Final Version series. These are new mixes as I never previously created any mixes for the year 2004 so it was a start from scratch.

As always with these year mixes I start with the list of favorite albums from a give year and in this case the 60 Albums 2004 post. Then I got to Wikipedia to the category 2004 in Music. That gives me a sense of what was released during the year and also helps me find songs that may be part of a compilation album in my collection. Then finally I go through my iTunes sorted by year. When I find songs I haven't used before but in this case with 2004 all the songs that I want to use are put into a playlist to work from. Then I create the mixes. For the FV series I am making them approximately an hour and a half. This one was a lot of fun and the start of a good year of music in my collection.
