Ugh, I didn't have anything to do last night so I ended up spending hours and hours burning a mix CD of semi-poppy songs for a friend's birthday. She doesn't have a lot of music, and I'm obsessed with organizing what I have into mixes. The first half is upbeat, the second half is slower and quieter.

[Formica]

My girlfriend has had to get used to my horrible fondness for making mixtapes - I swear, i'm addicted. She's not one for anything too experimental though, so I tend to stick to more accesable sounds. Anyways, the latest, with lame undertones:

Birds and Ships by Billy Bragg
Bill Gates must Die by John Vanderslice
Company Calls by Death Cab for Cutie
Ghost ship in a storm by Jim O'Rourke
Fade into you by Mazzy Star
Ecstacy by Lou Reed
Atlantic City by Bruce Springsteen (note: If you want to mock springsteen, go listen to the Nebraska record. A far cry from "born in the USA")
Polar Bear by Ride
Shiny by the Decemberists
No Surprises Please (early acoustic) by Radiohead
My Parent's house by Hayden
What a wonderful Puddle by Kind of like spitting
I'll catch you by Rocky Votolato
Company Calls Epilogue by Death Cab for cutie
I will sing you songs by My Morning Jacket
Talking shit about a pretty sunset by Modest Mouse

Hmmm. I don't get too many chances to make "out there" mixtapes, as most of my friends have pretty conventional tastes.

[Zack]

RecordRelapse is added to the cool book for having that Exploding Hearts song AND Dressy Bessy on his CD. That's about the best song I've heard in months and months and months. And "Super*Everything" is one of my very favorite DB tracks.

I made a rock CD for the same girl shortly after the mope-y one. It wasn't nearly as good, but I guess she really likes it. Hasn't told me what she thought of the mope yet.

6. Calexico - "Güero Canelo"
7. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - "Hearts of Oak"
8. The Exploding Hearts - "Throwaway Style"
9. The Mooney Suzuki - "In A Young Man's Mind"
10. The Kills - "Black Rooster"
11. Division of Laura Lee - "Blackcity"
12. McLusky - "The World Loves Us And Is Our Bitch"
