A mix for spring: the sudden showers and odd, seemingly misplaced bursts of the most glorious sunlight. Just long enough music to get me to campus, between buildings and back home again.
tracklist
| 1 | Daft Punk : Make Love |
|
Early morning overcast, the clouds roll in with this downtempo gem. This song is so subtle you barely even notice it, despite the fact that the entire song is based around the same repeated hook. Serves well with a long walk to campus. Huzzah! SHOW MORE

| 2 | Jel : Loop/Truncate |
|
The overcast becomes darker still. You're going to have to play along and chop this song at 48 seconds (ie: cut 'truncate') to ensure a nice segue between tracks. Quickly (and unpredictably) changes moods like a crazy girlfriend.

| 3 | Team Sleep : Your Skull is Red |
|
A song so huge it threatens to consume the clouds. The epicness doesn't really sustain for the entirity of the song, but for the intro alone, it's worth it. Plus, Zach Hill from Hella drums for them. Pure mood. SHOW MORE

| 4 | Broken Social Scene : Fire Eye'd Boy |
|
The ever-consistant rain sets in with this song's upbeat tempo which is gorgeously juxtaposed with the intoxicating vocals. genious.

| 5 | Pinback : Loro |
|
A song for staring out the window to watch the rain glance off the parked cars. Much like the album opener, this song is pure subtlety. It sounds 'fragile,' for lack of a better word. SHOW MORE

| 6 | Heatmiser : Bonus Track 1 |
|
This song reminds me of sidestepping and jumping puddles in a fanciful manner. Upbeat but tragic, this song is a sad-bastard gem. Sometimes refered to as 'Half-Right,' this song, despite having inspired a Jimmy Eat World lyric, is pure gold.

Another huge, slow-motion rock song. That fucking xylophone just feels like rain.

| 8 | Lusk : Backworlds |
|
The rain subsides and the light-gray overcast smiles. The fuzziest, warmest guitar you've ever heard towards the end seals the deal. Still, I'll never understand how Paul d'Amour could leave TOOL for this. SHOW MORE

| 9 | The Dismemberment Plan : The City |

If this song isn't a light-overcast moodsetter, I don't know what is. A Moog so warm I want to hug it. And maybe kiss it. On it's cheek. SHOW MORE

Negative brotha. Taking pictures while you're driving is irresponsible and morally wrong.

pinback, broken social scene, dismemberment plan, & air - all fantastic. The mix art is really good as well, I like that picture.

I very much approve of tracks 1,4, 9, and 10. especially 9!!! Travis Morrison has a great voice. I saw him when he opened for death cab, and he's nothing without the dismemberment plan. but he did do a cover of that rap song, "whats your fantasy" and it was pretty dork hot.

Yeah I like this one.
Extra points for the dismemberment plan, they use to be my favorite band ever for the longest time.

I like this mix.. great choice of pinback song.. its one of my favorites. oh, right. every pinback song is one of my favorites. nevertheless, rad song. though there are several songs on this mix i havent heard, the song with the shortest description is the one that piques my interest the most.. sometimes you can say more by saying less i guess.. im going to have to check that one out. that rapidshare link didnt work for me though :-(

MY Lusk song? It's good shit. I wish the whole album (Free Mars) was as good as that cut.

I forgot to mention, these songs all need to be crossfaded to a certain degree.
