May 2005 Music Mix: Deconstructed
I'm going to relate tidbits for most of these songs, to make it less boring for you to read, dear reader.
1. Tiny Cities Made of Ashes - Modest Mouse
2. Big Trucks - Pedro the Lion
[i've got several pedro the lion mp3s on my computer, yet i rarely get around to listening to them. i usually consider them to be music to slit your wrists to, but this one is fairly upbeat]
3. King of Carrot Flowers 1 - Neutral Milk Hotel
[during my time as a lowly rotation dj at KRUI, i received several requests from the dispatcher of one of the local cab companies, and one time, he called in the request for parts 1,2&3, telling me that i wouldn't regret it, and to make sure i played them all together. i've loved them ever since, even if they have broken up]
4. King of Carrot Flowers 2&3 - Neutral Milk Hotel
5. Lost Girls - Tilly and the Wall
[a tap dancer instead of a drummer! i'm in lust]
6. Timebomb - Old 97s
7. americanflagsandshoppingbags - Clancy Everafter
[my friend clancy took a live recording of jeff tweedy doing the song below, and made it slightly rockin']
8. Ashes of American Flags - Wilco
9. Girl Inform Me - The Shins
10. Diagonals - Stereolab
[probably my favorite stereolab song ever, and i'm not really sure why]
11. Sugar On My Tongue - Talking Heads
[take that, ludacris, you pansy ass motherfucker]
12. Sweet Jane - Velvet Underground
13. I Can't Believe You - Tilly and the Wall
14. Honestly - Zwan
[i don't care if it's cheesy: billy corgan will always have my heart. i want to lick his crooked teeth]
15. Season of the Witch - Donovan
[favorite donovan]
16. Whoever You Are - Geggy Tah
[very appropriately came on while i was wrangling i275]
17. September - Earth Wind and Fire
[i seem to enjoy ending mixes with oldies-but-goodies. listen for the "yow!"]
