Woody Guthrie’s New Year’s Resolutions, 1942

After all the champagne is gone and the confetti swept off the floor, we’re faced with a brand new year and a second wind of optimism. This year, you’ll start running, you’ll quit smoking, you’ll waste less time, you’ll kick television, you’ll love more and eat less. Whether you’re trying to save up or get your weight down, as long as your resolutions last, here’s your soundtrack. Full track list after the jump!

Track listing: New Feeling – Talking Heads // I Can Change – LCD Soundsystem // Kicking Television [Live] – Wilco // Earn Enough For Us – XTC // Go Outside – Cults // I’ll Run – Yellow Ostrich // Love More – Sharon Van Etten // Give Up The Ghost – Radiohead // Be Here Now – George Harrison // Try Again – Big Star // Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More – The Allman Brothers Band // Getting Better – The Beatles //  Move On Up – Curtis Mayfield // Hold On Hope – Guided By Voices // Be Not So Fearful – Bill Fay // This Will Be Our Year – The Zombies

Happy 2012 from WGTB!
