no real specific guidelines, just everyone make a mix and we'll swap with each other. after many hours reloading my music on my computer (recently reformatted) here's what i finally came up with: 1. Portishead - Wandering Star 2. Tom Waits - Metropolitan Glide 3. Sneaker Pimps - Curl 4. Rasputina - The Question of Time 5. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Rich Woman 6. Blonde Redhead - Messenger 7. George Harrison - Art of Dying 8. Placebo - Post Blue 9. Gnarls Barkley - Storm Coming 10. Madvillain - All Caps 11. Koop - Bright Nights 12. Quasimoto - Axe Puzzles 13. Feist - I Feel It All 14. Rasputina - Things I'm Gonna Do 15. Ella Fitzgerald - When I Get Low (I Get High) 16. Manu Chao - Mentira... 17. Frank Zappa - Wonderful Wino 18. Mos Def & Talib Kweli - Know That its rather long, slightly more than an hour. its a fairly good cross section of my musical tastes, but there were some i had to cut out for length and some because they would be too out of place. theres little jazz in here, i listen to a bit more hip hop than the mix would suggest these days, and no classical, country or reggae are represented here. but all in all i think its pretty ecclectic yet flows pretty well for a lot of different types of songs... so if you had to do something like this, what would you put on it? we can maybe find new songs or artists to check out
artists i wish i could have added: junior murvin - police and thieves can - pretty much anything. its all pretty amazing sigur ros - ditto bob marley - too many to choose from. not redemption song or no woman, no cry, though. bjork - i don't know what i would have put in credence clearwater revival - " " allman brothers band - " " MC5 - " " Willie Nelson - " "
This is a mix I made for the car ride to my college. Not a definitive representation of my taste by any means, but not a bad one either Hieroglyphics - At the Helm The Beatles - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds The Avalanches - Fronteir Psychiatrist Beirut - Mount Wroclai (Idle Days) Willie Williams - Armagideon Time The Beatles - Fixing a Hole Del the Funky Homosapien - 3030 Stephen Marley - The Traffic Jam (Feat. Damian Marley) CocoRosie - Tahiti Rain Song DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World Damian Marley - Road to Zion Willie Williams - Master Plan Beirut - The Gulag Orkestar
love can, kraut rock is some good shit. quasimoto is fuckin awesome too. I probably have already complemented you on the mf doom sig, but it needs a repeat, cause its that cool
oh you reminded me, i wished i could have put a captain beefheart song on the mix, too. i was thinking one of the following: i'm gonna booglarize you, her eyes are a blue million miles, big eyed beans from venus and drone lore, you reminded me i'd heard coco rosie a long time ago and really liked it. i've always meant to look into them further because i thought they were awesome, but i never really did. i need to get a cd soon if possible

Yea man I love that album. it's the only beatle's album i have actually. ive heard abby road and wasn't moved to buy it, but i used to have a few random mp3s, including a few from the white album. probably would have bought that one if it wasnt so damn expensive.
