Comment:
With the holidays just around the corner, needed a standard mid-tempo semi-mainstream mix I could pass along as needed. Mostly newish with a few ringers thrown in. Tried to mimic the somewhat sedated yuppie cool aesthetic of those totally pretentious, highly-targeted mixes you see at the Starbucks and Pier 1 check out counters. Did I pull it off? You be the judge.
Feedback:
My fave coffee is Jamaica's finest Blue Mountain & this mix is certainly on a par with the coffee.
What a great idea. Very funny and very cool.
Some nice songe here. Was hearing the Simon & Garfunkel track this very morning. Makes for perfect sunday listening...
I must be an aging hipster, because I think this looks great! It's amazing that one can becomer an aging hipster without ever having been hip!
Who actually designes those Starbucks mixes, and what is their AOTM name?
Love it - concept, title and execution!
I's buy this -- to go along with my double latte and that wicker chair. Aging hipsters unite! (but only after I finish watching that re-run of Friends)
Haha, I love it! And what a great opening with those first three tracks. I'll have to check out Starbucks' brand of pretension sometime... based on this, it looks like fun.
I laughed out loud before I even read the playlist. Really nice. ... still smiling.
I would definitely pick up one of these along with my lowfat decaf mocha vente wappucino!
You pulled it off, funny boy. You pulled it off fantastically.
essentially not my type o'stuff but I did laugh and love the cover.
Excellent stuff.
I used to like their mixes 10 years ago when they did a couple blue note jazz and a couple of blues mixes. The aria mixes where nice too. Too bad now they market the latest You Oughta Know girl release (whatever her name is), and copies of Who's Next. Why that in Starbucks I'll never know.
Focus Group rock - the next genre? Laugh now, but some day they'll be selling a mix with many of these artists. Even the obscure ones. Remember when you never thought you'd hear the Buzzcocks in a TV commercial? This looks like a pretty solid mix - I have a hard time admitting that I don't ALWAYS want big guitars in my mixes. That Sundays to Aimee Mann run is great - even though I'd like to think I'm too cool to put either of those songs on a mix (but I'll cave one of these days - maybe you've helped me see the light Broutha Marc). I've almost bought a few of those comps at Starbucks (from about five years ago), but I always felt a bit wrong doing it, like it was cheating. Maybe I was just more afraid that someone would see one of them in my collection.
