Artist	Song
Bash & Pop	Loose Ends
from Friday Night Is Killing Me (1992) A pretty bittersweet musical discovery - I had never heard this band until WBCN went freeform in it's final weekend of existence.
Jason Collett	I'll Bring The Sun
from Idols of Exile (2005) I enlisted some help online to find things with the right vibe for this mix, so this is one of the artists I wasn't familiar with until now. It's a really good song and I ought to look into the album someday.
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros	Home
from From Below (2009) WFNX plays the hell out of this song, but somehow I've yet to get tired of it. I love the spoken bridge that the radio edit cuts out.
Dan Auerbach	My Last Mistake
from Keep It Hid (2009)
Neil Young And Crazy Horse	Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969)
Wilco	Monday
from Being There (1996)
Little Joy	Brand New Start
from Little Joy (2008) Another one that's actually new to me.
Julia Nunes	Into the Sunshine
from I Wrote These (2008) Like most people who know of her, I first found out about Julia Nunes while browsing youtube. I got out to see her earlier this summer and it was a pretty fun show.
Cracker	Friends
from Sunrise In The Land Of Milk And Honey (2009) I'm not always a fan of some of the more country-influenced Cracker songs, but this one's got a catchy chorus and some very funny lyrics.
Eels	I Like Birds
from Daisies Of The Galaxy (2000) I've probably already put this on too many other "summery" mix cds, but I can't help it.
Sleigh Bells	Rill Rill
from Treats (2010)
fun.	All The Pretty Girls
from Aim And Ignite (2009)
Jenny Owen Youngs	Hot In Herre
from The Take Off All Your Clothes EP (2007) "Last Person" almost took it's place for being more overtly country influenced, but I went with this instead, novelty rap cover status be damned.
Blind Melon	Change
from Blind Melon (1992) The song this mix got it's name from. Although it didn't really have an official name until after it was given out.
The Band	We Can Talk
from Music From Big Pink (1968)
The Black Crowes	Twice As Hard
from Shake Your Money Maker (1990)
Avett Brothers	Slight Figure Of Speech
from I And Love And You (2009) Another band I discovered asking around for ideas for this mix. I really like this track.
Ryan Adams	Firecracker
from Gold (2001)
She & Him	Lingering Still
from Volume Two (2010) I was reluctant to check this band out because of the whole "movie star trying their hand at music" thing, but they're pretty good.
Neko Case	I Wish I Was The Moon Tonight
from Blacklisted (2002)
Big Star	Watch The Sunrise
from #1 Record (1972)
Creedence Clearwater Revival	Long As I Can See The Light
from Cosmo's Factory (1970) Because I found out through conversation that while the recipient likes Lynyrd Skynyrd, she's not that familiar with CCR, and that to me just ain't right.
Rob Potylo	Kentucky Fried Chicken
from Worried All The Time I'll Make Mistakes (2010) It both fits the overall vibe and relates to our common experience of low-paying food service and/or retail jobs.

Comment:

A surprise mix for a girl I know. I had a little trouble figuring out a direction to go in because her tastes are generally much more mainstream than mine, but she's been listening to older country lately, so I thought something fairly heavy on melodic, rootsy indie might be a good bet.
