Something a wee bit lighter...

Select a song from your iTunes that corresponds with every letter of the alphabet to compile an alphabetical mixtape. Try to avoid duplicating artists.
A is for "Arrival: Main Titles" by Ron Grainer (a.k.a The Theme to the Prisoner)
B is for "Batman y Spiderman" by Azebache (Crazy bit of Cuban Jazz I discovered on Audiogalaxy back in the day.)
C is for "Coming Down" by United States of America (Recent discovery of an old psychedelic band. Stereolab fans might want to check out this particular song here)
D is for "Down and Out in New York City" by James Brown (Still one of the best songs this man ever did)
E is for "Evidence" by Faith No More (You can watch the video here)
F is for "Fly on the Windshield" by Malhavoc
G is for "Ghetto" by Dub Pistols
H is for "Hymie's Him" by Public Image Ltd.
I is for "I Dig" by Les Baxter
J is for "Justice for the People" by Lee Perry and the Upsetters
K is for "Kowalski" by Primal Scream (here)
L is for "Lucifer Sam" by Pink Floyd (here)
M is for "Metronomic Underground" by Stereolab (a live version can be seen here)
N is for "Night of the Shape" by Electric Wizard (I always love it when a metal band starts fiddling with drum machines and keyboards to create something softer. They're often better than the artists who do it full time)
O is for "O Lucky Man" by Alan Price (here)
P is for "Playgirl (Felix Da Housecat Glitz Clubhead Mix)" by Ladytron (original version here)
Q is for "Quilombo" by Steroid Maximus (I remember having this song played one night at Die Maschine during a lounge night. It ended up clearing most of the dancefloor due to its rather strenuous demands on people dancing to it. Myself and Kris were the only ones left. Our shirts soaked completely through)
R is for "Red Kerre" by Dead Voices on Air (perfect song for me to play at 4am at CKUW I found)
S is for "Sex (I'm A)" by Lovage (here)
T is for "Theme from Don" by DJ Shadow and Dan the Automator (fan made music video for the track here)
U is for "Untold Stories" by Meat Beat Manifesto
V is for "Vagator" by Download (note: This opens up with a Bob Larson sample)
W is for "We Have Come to Bless This House" (an almost perfect track to end a mix on, but since there still remains XYZ...)
X is for "X" from Der Blutharch (from the album When All Else Fails. Yes, I'm abusing the bands predilections for only naming their tracks after Roman Numerals...)
Y is for "You Really Got Me" by the Kinks (I'm not even going to bother posting a link to this song. You know it...)
Z is for "Zulfiqar III" by Secret Chiefs 3
