For a Limited Time Only! (FIXED)

T asked me to make a good old fashioned mixtape, and I have obliged. Salil made one too, and you can find it at The Rant Reader. It's good. Dancy and all. Multi-culti, even.

My list isn't particularly new, but most of the songs are from this decade. I've thrown in some oldies, and a cover of a Dylan song, because they've been on heavy rotation. Most of the songs aren't that weird. Except the Animal Collective single. I think the collection moves along nicely.


  1. Mama Cass - Make Your Own Kind Of Music [1]
  2. T. Rex - Ride a White Swan
  3. Pete and The Pirates - Come On Feet
  4. The Rumble Strips - Alarm Clock
  5. Animal Collective - Peacebone
  6. Cansei De Ser Sexy - Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above
  7. The Magnetic Fields - Absolutely Cuckoo
  8. The Fiery Furnaces - We Got Back The Plague [8]
  9. Beirut - Scenic World [9]
  10. MGMT - Pieces of What
  11. The National - Apartment Story
  12. The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (Live)
  13. Davy Graham - Anji [13]
  14. Jim James & Calexico - Goin' To Acapulco (Dylan Cover)
  15. The Strokes - Between Love & Hate
  16. Glasvegas - Go Square Go [16]
  17. Guillemots - Annie, Let's Not Wait
  18. Amy Macdonald - The Road To Home

Enjoy!

I love their quirky take on the blues.
[9] This is a gloriously synth-y exception to their American Gypsy sound.

Davy Graham was an extremely influential British guitarist. Paul Simon learned a trick or two from him, and Jimmy Page has stolen some of his licks, cheeky magpie that he is.
[16] I recommend hunting for their lyrics.
