Finally! I finished this behemoth. I have about 3 unfinished branches off of this mix and gave myself a lovely headache whittling it down and stretching it out to this. Overall? I dig it. It constitutes a lovely hour of music. And that's what matters, right?

| 3 | Billie Holiday : Me, Myself and I |
|
Nope, no De La Soul. Not even Beyonce. I'm sticking with my original guns for this track name and am vying for Ms. Holiday. With her you can never go wrong. Hey, anyone wanna charleston?

| 4 | Alias : I Would Like To Write A Song That... |
|
A completely different song in comparison with the previous. The transition isn't too shabby though. This is an ideal background track when you're working... it adds ambiance and sets a mood without overpowering your easily-distracted brain.

| 5 | McLusky : That Man Will Not Hang |
|
Probably one of my favorite album titles ever. Loud, dischordant guitars and vocals with a heavy, thumping rhythm. Musically, it's a super simple song. But still pretty killer. I mean, the man WON'T HANG.

| 8 | Weezer : The World Has Turned and Left Me Here |
|
I'm going to pull an iTunes and say that the "The" doesn't count. I hadn't listened to this album in ages until today, and man, I forgot how pleasant it is. Or, I guess, how they were.

| 9 | Joan Baez : Here's to You |
|
This song has a slow progression before it really begins at 00:50. If there were Hippies of the Round Table, this would be their toasting song after a long day of fighting The Man with flower power. That being said, I'm a little stoked I got both Janis and Joan on one mix. SHOW MORE

| 11 | Alias : Again For The First Time |
|
I know, I know. I used the same artist twice. From the same album, no less. I fought and fought and tried to change things, but I was in too deep and was determined as hell not to completely wipe out the work I had already done. Besides, it's an awesome track. Don't haterate.

I believe this can also be found on the top 10-rated 'Fuck Hip Hop' mix. I like the little saxophone loop.

| 13 | Smashing Pumpkins : Spaceboy |
|
Oh, the love affair with myself and this album, especially this song, began over a decade ago. The only info I needed to look up was the track length. Hearing this after a long stretch is like a gulp of cold water on a ridiculously hot day. One of the Pumpkins' best... mellow, soothing, with strings.

| 14 | David Bowie : Boys Keep Swinging |
|
I love putting SP next to Bowie... they've alluded to him and his songs so often over the years (even here... hello spaceboy?), it's a natural fit. The name and album art for this mix stem from this lovely, chauvinist-themed track of 70s Bowie.

I burned this the other day, and I have to say, pretty darn swell, if I do say so myself.
Plus a day-before-the-contest-ends-and- I'm-one-point-behind-second-place push never does any harm. ;D
