this is the year that was…
August 9, 2008
It has been about a year since I started this adventure in sound on the internet. In that time I’ve posted somewhere in the region of three hundred tracks, all of which were from my own collection, and nearly all (99.5%?!) were from vinyl.
I’ve had a run in with the web police, asking me to take tracks down, and over 500 comments mostly supporting the music I have put up. And all in all, I hope I’ve spread a little good musical sense around with the tracks and mixes featured.
Sometimes I wrote about what the song meant to me, or what it does in a roomful of sweaty dancers. Sometimes I wrote nothing at all, and just posted the track.
Some posts were more contentious than others. And some tracks, with the help of Hype Machine and Google, were more popular than others. The other day, I was reading some requests for re-ups on certain tracks. Out of curiosity, I did a little test and tracked the most popular songs from the blog. The most visited and downloaded pieces of music. It was quite an insight.
I’ve decided to post them, in a countdown from 20-1 over the next few weeks. The most popular tracks from Innersounds since I started…(can you guess what number one will be?)
Number 20…
[It was Wolfmother - Love Train (Chicken Lips Remix)]

Great idea… especially if you have missed them.
Will you be telling us what each track is - im dying to find out what number 20 is…excellent!
I won’t be saying what they are in the post, but after you download them and play them on your computer or mp3 player - the artist and track name should appear. Also the name appears when you play them in the mp3 player attached on the post above.
(This is the Chicken Lips remix of Wolfmother’s Love Train though…)
i f’n love this track. i picked this up right around the time i picked up the MSTRKRFT Remix of “Mother”. godddammmit that shit is tight! thx for this. if this is #20, i’m def gonna like this. thx, man
Where this song takes me: On a full-speed 2-ton mountain-road rave-up in my Dad’s sedan, black as German bread, with my sister driving, her boyfriend packing, and the beat shattering the last remaining T-cells of a 72-hour flu. Oaks dotting the brown hills like garden weeds left by a genius groundskeeper to grow stiff and strong into the world’s last living creatures. On this sunny California winter day.
Awesome write up MC Soller, I’m stoked you like it.
Peace.
