My first ever mix cd aside from throwing a bunch of random tracks onto a cd back in high school. Interested to hear any feedback before I attempt another one. ignore the cover art, it's just something random and funny. i'll try to describe my thought process track by track.
tracklist
| 1 | Franz Ferdinand : Outsiders |
|
The song so good they stuck it at the very end... I like this track for some reason, wanted to open with something "big"

| 2 | Serena Maneesh : Drain Cosmetics |
|
I love this artist, and this is probably their most accessible song. Very My Bloody Valetine, only this song could also be played in a stadium.

| 3 | Massive Attack : Risingson |
|
Anyone who listens to the end of the previous song and the beginning of this one will see what I did here. I really wanted the cd to flow well more than anything as I'm really not that up to date on the newest, hippest tracks for cds like this.

| 4 | My Morning Jacket : Wordless Chorus |
|
I think with this track and the ones immediately before and after it, the cd slows down alot and takes a groovy sort of late night turn. I love the 'wordless chorus' on this track. He really belts out those soulful notes with the best of 'em.

| 5 | junior boys : in the morning (featuring andi tomi) |

This is one of my favorite new albums right now. If Junior Boys are a simple group in composition, then they seem to have all the right elements to me.

| 6 | Bloc Party : This Modern Love |
|
Yeah, ok, so everyone knows this song blah blah blah. But I still think it's good, and I managed to cross fade it nicely into the next track, so I couldn't resist including it.

| 7 | TV On The Radio : Wolf Like Me |
|
Another great new album I've heard recently. This is the fastest, most accessible track on the album, but I think it takes the disc on a nice upturn without sounding out of place.

| 8 | The Rapture : Sister Savior |
|
The other super kick ass song off the Rapture's 2003 masterpiece, Sister Savior is infectious disco fun and one of the more unabashed get-up-and-dance songs which I felt obligated to include on the album if it was to reflect my ludicrous personality.

| 9 | Pretty Girls Make Graves : Mr. Club |
|
I always enjoyed this throwaway interlude, which I basically just stuck in to transition to the next track. I actually purposely looked for interludes to stick on this cd cause I knew I'd need them - this was one of the first that came to mind.

| 11 | Liars : We Got Cold, Coughed, and Forgot Things |
|
A wicked track off one of their pair of 2002 EPs, this track by itself documents how the Liars conquered dance-punk in one album and by 2004 were already onto bigger, more ambitious projects.

I hope it's not too pretentious to put something like this on... although I suppose closing off the album with a throwaway pop song ought to make up for this potential oversight...
