Has functioned as the soundtrack to a documentary shoot and an evening spent assembling the packaging for 90 CDs; it always fit perfectly. I confess that I am a sucker, I never stopped loving the new wave. It's nice to see you here!

good god.

I've decided that teapin is my mix idol.

And then our hips just started shaking; we were out of control.

Alright, yes, this mix was made for me, but even if it wasn't...The Anniversary track has off-mic yelling and it makes me want to cheer. Read The End of Vandalism now, if you haven't already.

Yeah, I made this one. I have to get it on my page somehow. I really have to make my own copy of this tape.

Brilliant.

There's so much to love.

I can't see how anyone would grow tired of this mix.

"Timebomb" --> "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" = rewind + repeat justification.

Perfectly captures the spirit of Rickie Lee Jones' "Show Biz Kids".

Shake! Shake!

I love this theme, and the accompanying songs.

Not only is the theme fantastic, but so is the cover. Well done!

Another brilliant dance mix from non-dance bands.

It's lovely.

caps lock does it again, and then sticks a great title on it.

remember there was that saturday night live sketch and christopher walken says "this next song...i wrote...after hearing it on the radio"? and he's a lounge singer in a cheap restaurant singing "shattered" ("sha-doo-BEE!") bursting into tears in the middle of the song? this mix is fantastic like that.

caps lock's girlfriend is the luckiest woman in the universe, apparently.

and then he sticks a little shannon on there. shannon! too good.

.....and this is only his third mix.

this is basically perfect.

hard to believe that this is a "first-ever stab at thematically-driven stuff". and yet it is! the concept is talking the talk, sure, but he walked the walk with this mix, too.

the feeling of being underwater in outer space. this is why i love teapin.

i thought it couldn't get any better when i heard "run cold". and then "midnight blues" started to play. (oh, and eilert pilarm? "heartbreak hotel"? teapin, you rule.)

you don't have this? why not?

okay so fondness for the new pornographers is intensified by my canadian citizenship, and it's always good to find someone throwing out what is pretty much the only song by that dog that i like. but what happens when the aislers set swarms you? when you hear arthur lee's voice? when you're hit with looper and you don't care that it was all over "vanilla sky"? you go under, and it's beautiful.

he was breathing in the clean country air and drowning out the sound of the neighbours yelling. i've said it before - it's like he's creating sun right here.
