I recently made this mix for a friend who I'd just met of songs I like that he might like. We decided a mix exchange is a good way to start off any kind of relationship. I was musing on posting the one he gave me but I think I'll just leave my choices up for judgment.
Its not the complete 90 minutes but I thought 23 was enough to be getting on with. I found a load of songs to add to the database as well, so I feel like I've contributed a wee bit.
Oh, and he loved it :)

| 1 | Camera Obscura : Lets Get Out of This Country |
|
I like going for long, long drives with new people. Not strangers. Just new people. Perfect driving track and the ideal way to kick it off I think.

| 4 | Teenage Fanclub : Sparky's Dream |
|
Its hard to choose a Teenage Fanclub song, each has its own good points. This one I think was a safe bet. Its an all-round crowd pleaser. If you're into 'jangle-pop' (Wikipedia's label..)

| 6 | Friends of the Bride : Cut Down On My Friends (single) |
|
A new one to the collective. A lovely English band that we (as in the band I am in *shameless advertising*) have supported twice. Very dapper young gentlemen, freshly pressed suits, clean shaven, regularly shined shoes.. their mothers would be proud.

| 8 | Belle and Sebastian : Lazy Line Painter Jane |
|
I wanted There's Too Much Love here instead but I found out my copy is scratched and it wouldn't play straight through. So this is a second choice, but still just as good, I feel. I once met Monica Queen, the woman who originally guested on this song. That was an event.

I'm not sure I should like the latest album, by fanmanship (my own word..) rights but I do. I really really do. The intro alone to this gets my heart going very fast and I thought I might share the love. Because Dinosaur Jr is love.

Another new on to the collective. An excellent little number I discovered on a 2.99 compilation of Scottish music, old and new. I'm a big Scottish music fan in general. Plus it features the Belle and Sebastian two - Stuart and Sarah - and I'm a big fan of that little lot.
