I've made it a habit to collect some songs that have had an impact on me throughout the year. I've called it different things over the years but the name "JSR CD" has resurfaced again this year, with the affixation of "2012."

So here's the track list. You should be able to click the link and it will open up iTunes.

1. God Yu Tekem Laef Blong Mi by Hans Zimmer
2. Light & Day / Reach For The Sun by The Polyphonic Spree
3. Hard To Concentrate by Red Hot Chili Peppers
4. 'Unfinished Symphony' No. 8 In B Minor by Franz Schubert
5. I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow by The Soggy Bottom Boys
6. Our Truth by Lacuna Coil
7. Love of the Loveless by Eels
8. Home by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes
9. Waiting for My Real Life to Begin by Colin Hay
10. Without You by David Guetta
11. Cruel To Be Kind by Nick Lowe
12. No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley

Here's some songs that didn't make the cut. They're all good, especially the first on the list, but it seemed like too much, literally and figuratively.

• Book of Love by Peter Gabriel
• P. S. I Hate You by Reel Big Fish
• Craigslist by Weird Al Yankovic
• Psycho Killer by Talking Heads
• Hello, I Love You by The Doors
