I despise mornings. Now that I'm not a lazy college kid, I actually have to get up at a reasonable hour and go somewhere to (hopefully) be productive. It's especially hard for me because sleep is like a glorious love affair with my bed and every morning, without fail, she attempts to seduce me to get back inside. A good soundtrack is my sleep-salt-peter.
Track 01 - 07: wake up.
Track 08 - 09: shower time.
Track 10 - 16: drive.
I know it's not the most cohesive mix, but it's got a lot of personal highlights from lesser mixes.

| 1 | Sufjan Stevens : Chicago (Chicago (Adult Contemporary Ecclectic Mix) |
|
I've been waking up to this song's opening 'twinkle' for nearly two months. I know this song gets a lot of play, but this version is wonderful. It makes a dreary 5:30am winter morning a little easier to bare, for lack of better words.

| 2 | Air : Alone in Kyoto |
|
This song was my wakeup mix for the terrible Corvallis winters when I lived in a drafty house with no carpet and very little heat. I don't use it much any more, since I still get muscle-memory cringes that remind me of the bitter cold.

| 3 | Elliot Smith : Kiwi Maddog 20-20 |

Since I'm usually wearing a fairly unhappy demeanor when I awake, this song is a perfect fit. Not dark but far from light.

| 5 | At The Drive-In : Ticklish |

When I was doing 8:00am job interviews, I'd use this song to wake up, since I needed to be in fine form. Nothing like ATDI to start your day off. ps - fuck The Mars Volta. SHOW MORE

| 6 | The Jackson 5 : I Want You Back |
|
I only use this song to wake up when I know for a fact that it is going to be an awesome day. It makes me feel like I'm living the opening scene of a fun, romantic comedy. Is that lame?

This might just be one of my ultimate pump-up songs, for some odd reason. I sing along in a really terrible fashion when noone is around.

| 10 | N.E.R.D. : The Way She Dances |
|
I'll just get this out up front: this might just be the worst big-budget album ever recorded for a major label. Pharrell proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he can't write a good song to save his life. "slow motion like a dream, but real time is what it seems..." But, nonetheless, I'm ridiculously nostalgic and this song reminds me of working a shit job and having a damn good time. SHOW MORE

I know I already have an MJ cut on this mix, but fuck it. If this song doesn't make the morning commute much less painful, well, then, shut up.

This is a pretty solid facsimile of my Snooze Superior mix. Even the MJ inclusion! Yep, go look. I'll wait.

I must say, for some reason I didnt expect the dismemberment plan

You really only take 2 songs to shower? You should probably move 'morning glory' into your shower mix, cuz that can be dangerous while you're driving.

This mix is all over the place, but I'm big on contrast and a health mixture of 'huh?'
ATDI is a reunion I would definitely get excited about.
