Comment:

A birthday mix, and I'm pretty proud of it despite the fact that my head is so obviously full of somebody other than the recipient. An aside: that's three uses of Metric's "Combat Baby" in a week. Does mix etiquette frown on such things?

There's "mix etiquette"? Why wasn't I informed? I know that there's "Indie Cred", that's a given; and this mix has it in abundance.

You can use a song as much as you like, if you ask me. There you're mixes, after all, made to suit you, not anyone else. People shouldn't be so caught up in the artistic endeavoring that AOTM promotes. I mean, it's a noble pursuit and can yield special things, but we shouldn't lose track of the basic fun and value of making mixes for ourselves. I think I have that problem, too...anyway, naw, that's a good Metric song. Keep on using it. Although frankly, I'm blinded by the beauty of a few other tracks on here, namely Mt. Goats, BLLT, Sufjan, and that aching Dylan cover. Expertly put together and full of goodies, this is

My mix etiquette is "If it feels good-do it".
