Now That I’m Older

Since 2004, I have been making an indie pop comp for my birthday (prior entries into the series includes Ides of April, Glide, Bees Knees, Carousel, Treehouse, Walking Through Walls, and Roam the Breezy Pastures).  This year’s comp, in honor of my 40th birthday, is called Now That I’m Older.  All songs are from 2009-2010.  As usual for this series, I think it is relatively accessible, and much of it may be familiar to the indie music followers among you.
