The killer mix cd

Mar 05, 2006 01:06

So as for the mix cd, here's the track listing -- I made it as sort of a catch-all best of thing that I could feel good about giving to almost anyone (although I'd fine tune it a bit, in this case it has a bit of girl pop that I would probably replace with other stuff depending on who I gave it to ( Read more... )

Im going to have to check out some on that list. With the exception of Robyn ;)

That Gacy song is quite haunting, not to mention the line about the swing which shows they did their research. Also the song about his 1st love dying of cancer, the horn section at the end of that makes my hair stand on end.

And since you are always introducing me to music Im hoping maybe you havent heard this one album: Neutral Milk Hotel. I have no words for how good that album is and it pains me to know there will never be another one.

You win, then -- I've heard of them, but if I've heard them, I don't remember it. When I've heard the name, tho, it's been linked to some bands I like (The Decemberists were pretty heavily compared, I seem to recall). I'll have to check it out.

Also I finally heard an Arcade Fire song that I kinda dug, I dunno if it just hit me in the right situation or what but I enjoyed it (after struggling a few times before). And now I realize that it's Tunnels which was the big song and I'm not that special after all.

Hm, I've heard one song by them, Engine. It's good, but I got it from an mp3 blog that kinda put it in context with the rest of their work, so maybe I'm missing a lot by not having the background on it. It's a good song tho.

Also hilarious is that you reject Robyn out of hand but accept Puffy AmiYumi without blinking. ;)

Hahah I was giving you a free pass? I'm... Ron Burgundy??

It's actually a very good song and the bridge always makes me go "whoa."

So there.

Agree to disagree then :) But I'll check it out just the same.

Um if you want a good one to look up by Neutral Milk Hotel its 2 Headed Boy. A song which I cant stop playing. Hmm I guess I have to check out the Decemberists now.

I was pretty heavy into The Decemberists last year and got a little burnt out on them. Picaresque is a good album but I've never really gotten into their other ones. The singer always reminds me of REM but I hate REM and I like the Decemberists so I guess it doesn't matter that much.

Augh yeah REM makes my sphincter clench.
