McQ's Best Of 2005 - Recommended Mixes Volume 2 - 80s-Styled Rock

2005 delivered some of the best 80s-styled rock of the entire decade, most notably LCD Soundsystem's fantastic dance-rock debut (which in addition to a full disc of new material, included a second compilation disc of all their early singles), Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's self-titled and self-released indie smash, and Wolf Parade's debut quirkfest Apologies To The Queen Mary, which introduced us to the hardest working man in late Aughts indie rock, Spencer Krug.

Selects from those and several other new wave flavored 2005 titles are included here.

Enjoy!
