So Krzysztof Kieslowski made three films named after the tricolore, I figure I should at least match that, in mixtapes. Then we'll see, I have lots of crayons in funny colors I could make mixtapes about...
tracklist
| 1 | Tunng : Red and Green |
|
I almost feel like I'm wasting a song I could have saved for the 'Green' mix... It fits well as starter of this mix though.

Iron & Wine has never been better, and Calexico has never been better than when they sat down and made music together. IMNSHO.

Instrumental interlude ties together the blues/folk/americana part of the mix with the rock to come.

| 7 | Modest Mouse : Red Hand Case |
|
About the meanest sounding I've ever heard Modest Mouse. Is it really Isaac Brock singing? The tune meanders and weaves, and fans of Modest Mouse diss this, but I think it's awesome. And it nicely sets the stage for Melvins.

| 8 | The Melvins : Show Off Your Red Hands |

Brutal, slow, like they don't want to let go of the sweet chords. And what's up with all these songs about red hands?? This is the third one now...

| 9 | Pelican : Red Ran Amber |

Instrumental, and long - I tend to stick to the three minute pop song format, but Pelican won't compromise.

| 10 | Dirty Three : Red |
|
The members of the Dirty Three create some magnificent, barely controlled chaos in this tune that like the rest of their music I suppose could be called proto-post-rock if one want a category to fit them in. Warren Ellis makes his second appearence in this mix, as he's also a member of the Bad Seeds.

| 11 | David Bowie : Red Sails |

Some surprisingly rough edges on this Bowie tune lets it fit in well here as the mix slows down in the home stretch.

| 12 | Johnnytwentythree : Red Bird |
|
And if the Dirty Three are "proto", then Johnnytwentythree are the inheritors. The song builds slowly, first with just a drum strumming out a marching beat, then the characteristic post-rock guitars fall in.

| 13 | Boris : Red |
|
If I don't use this song here, when will I next get the chance to put a 21 and a half minute long song on a mix? Wata's guitar licks here are subdued, but still delicious. Put on your headphones and close your eyes.

Rachael, your mix was one of the inspirations/stumbling blocks for making this mix. I like yours very much, and I wasn't sure I should make one on exactly the same theme. But then I thought, who cares. :)

Nice! You should check out my mix devoted to the same glorious colour. It's called 'Red is...'
