I'm re-posting the few mixes i made for justpopemotion seeing as... it no longer exists. So in case you never saw them, or for some reason didn't get them when you had the chance and are now living in misery and regret, here they are for posterity. I don't want my hard work to have been WASTED, you know.

01 - Wilco - Candyfloss
I'm the boy that looks excited / I'm the boy that's gonna fall apart / candyfloss, she kissed me first / and I'm the boy, don't get me started
02 - The Kinks - Wonderboy
wonderboy, some mother's son / turn your sorrow into wonder / dream alone, go have your fun
03 - Beulah - You're Only King Once
have you seen that moon-faced kid / that burned-out halo hangs right above his head / it's so hard not to be crushed / when you're prayin' for too much
04 - Ozma - Your Name
your name was given to you / out of two hearts something new / it seemed too small when you finally grew / but it was yours; what could you do?
05 - Bright Eyes - A New Arrangement
you nod in acknowledgement of your frequent mood swings / yeah, what good's an acknowledgement, it still don't change things / we've tried all forms of encouragement, but it's still no better / you just can't seem to fake or force a smile
06 - Ben Kweller - In Other Words
in his eyes I see the fear / that only time could disappear / if only time could reappear / now's the time
07 - Quasi - It's Raining
it's raining, it's raining, there's nothing you can do / it doesn't only rain on you / but you're acting all upset / like you're the only one who's wet
08 - Oasis - Born on a Different Cloud
lonely soul, breaking up your mother's pride / nothing ever gets done, not until your war's won
09 - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - The Anointed One
watching you grow with the pride of a friend / kissing off school - there were rules to be bent

I'm sure someone would hear me if I screamed / but not today / I'm sure someone would notice if I seemed / out of touch or hard to find
11 - Nada Surf - Happy Kid
I'm just a happy kid / stuck with the heart of a sad punk
12 - Radiohead - Melatonin
don't forget that you are our son

a crashing sound that filled my ears / all the passengers are here
06 - The Microphones - Map
oh the sand / oh the spark / oh the open land / oh the swelling dark

now I'm trying to be assertive / I'm making plans / I want to rise to the occasion, yeah, meet all their demands
08 - The Get Up Kids - Out of Reach
long way from home / lost by an echo / I'd never have known
09 - Rilo Kiley - Spectacular Views
there are no bad words for the coast today / when we hold our breath until nothing's left / it all starts to fade
