This is the first mix that I've made since I was about ten and wrecked my parent's turntable trying to make a tape. I made this using iTunes, which was much easier! I made this for my younger sister, who asked to hear some of the music that I like. I tried to choose songs that I thought she might like as well, so it's not entirely representative of my tastes, but in a Venn Diagram this is where she and I might cross over. (If she likes it ...)
tracklist
| 1 | Wilco : A Shot in the Arm |
|
I really like Wilco and I really love this track. I put it first because I don't know if my sister will listen past this first one, and really I want her to hear this.

| 7 | Neutral Milk Hotel : Holland, 1945 |

| 8 | Modest Mouse : Trailer Trash |

This is another band that I wanted to include because I love, but I wasn't too sure that any of their songs would work with the rest of the mix. This song is fairly low key so I think it fits in alright.

You have EXCELLENT TASTE. :) I really, really, really like this mix. Plus-five, no doubt.
I wish my sister would ask me to make a mix for her as well. Or my father, for that matter.

I crawled in my parents Hi-Fi and ruined the turntable as a kid. Great mix. I will have to check out Casiotone For The Painfully Alone.
