So, the college where I'm starting in the fall has this mixtape exchange group on facebook, and I've been assigned to send a mix to a girl I've never met. This is the mix I came up with and sent to her today. It doesn't have a theme, but I tried to keep it mostly full of cheery songs because apparently not everybody likes to be depressed. Also, there are a lot of songs on it that I've used on other mixes, just because I wanted to give this gal a real idea of what kind of music I like.
tracklist
| 1 | Be Your Own PET : Wildcat! |
|
This rousing mix-starter was chosen because its title is also the mascot of our school. I know that's way too cute. But it's also totally b'dass: "I am a wildcat!/You are a worm!"

| 2 | The Bens : xfire |
|
This is a fun little number by the Bens (Ben Lee, Ben Folds, and Ben Kweller's group). It's dancey and it starts with the lines "We're famous/Contagious/We make outrageous claims," which is a pretty great way to start a song. I like all the faux-bravado Lee and Folds and even little Kweller throw around on this one.

| 18 | David Bowie : Kooks |
|
If the girl doesn't like this song, we just can't be friends. Plus, it's a very good "pleased to meet you" kind of song: "Will you stay in our Lovers' Story/If you stay you won't be sorry/'Cause we believe in you/Soon you'll grow so take a chance/With a couple of Kooks/Hung up on romancing," although I'm only one kook not a couple. Plus, I firmly believe in the line that says: "And if the homework brings you down/Then we'll throw it on the fire/And take the car downtown!"

i was reading this interview with jens lekman, who is the picture definition of adorable. he was lamenting over the fact he hasn't kissed in girl in 4 years. 4 years! he said he's lonely. this makes him so much more adorable for some reason.
