Sad songs for sadness. This is how to maintain being sad, you sad-ster

download

great indie bands, poignant theme

incredibly well-chosen romantic mix

strangely perfect amalgamation of period oldies music

A creative mix full of oldies and doo wop that use nonsense jibberish - gotta find 'em all!

Brilliantly creative "if you like this, here's a more modern band/song we'd recommend" that finally addresses some of the contemporary music that harkens so explicitly back to certain styles and bands. An idea that needs expansion...

beautiful mood (Unicorns, Architecture in Helsinki, Ryan Adams, String Cheese, Eels, Emiliana Torrini) and great mix cover

epic movie scores. Fantastic idea! I'm jealous

some of the best of 2006's indie rock scene

one of the most thoroughly and compellingly documented mixes ever, not to mention an incredible look at an esteemed music fan's journey through music history. Too cool

fantastic variety of taste in indie pop royalty

Great summer songs to find, but they're too obscure for some search engines...still, Swirl 360, FoW, Katrina, GBV!

More sweet looking summer pop songs; just hard to find...

Songs with handclaps! Can't go wrong

California Summer. The best collection of great punk/pop/emo songs I've ever seen on AOTM

more from ZZ. This guy has sweet taste. Be sure to download the ones you don't know, and while you're at it, listen to those great Gob songs again

More ZZ goodness

PopRocks and Pixie Sticks (kinda like the name of my mix, only this one came first). Songs to "get you pinballing across the room"

Emphasis on "catchy". Download (hard to find)

music to end a movie. Great idea

party tunes!

great indie pop rock music (New Pornos, Softies, Ben Kweller, That Dog, Lucksmiths, Shermans, Beulah, etc.). Includes All Girl Summer Fun Band

The mix that introduced me to Tullycraft, Softies, that Men without Hats song, Palomar, and Heavenly, and even features other brilliant indie pop groups that I hadn't yet discovered, like Of Montreal, Lucksmiths, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Ladybug Transistor (my favorite song of theirs, no less, wow!). Too perfect

the truth about road trips

melancholy summer-ish tunes, fantastic assortment!

fantastic high school nostalgia/reminiscing/sentimental thing

inventive, boundlessly rewarding new mix challenge by AD69, a listing of your favorite side 1, track 1s, w/required Beatles and each decade inclusion. AD's choices will trump all others no doubt, but hopefully this great idea will spawn a bunch of similarly inspired lists

one of the best mix themes ever executed on AOTM. And perfect music from start to finish, too

modern bands doing yuletide music, with a Discworld nod!

simply fantastic wall-to-wall modern alt-country winners

lovely alt-country all around, very consistent in tone and quality

absolutely essential Yuletide listening, meets all your needs

Freaky coincidence: I'm a particular fan of almost every single song on this mix. It was so cool that it inspired me to submit a mix of my own, which I'm sure will lead to many years of mix-making goodness. Seriously awesome
