Comment:

If your job is to review music, you're probably inundated with new releases. You probably lose track of things in the rush to keep up with the overflowing mail crates around your desk. You neglect many of the classic albums in your collection at home because, man, there just isn't time. Sometimes you even forget a song you liked years ago, only to hear it at a club and have it rock you with thrice the intensity.

I know a full-time music critic, and I imagine his life is more or less like this. So when we agreed to swap mixes, I focused on what I thought he'd like, what he might have overlooked and what he didn't know existed. I sought an upbeat, high-energy mix that would be difficult to predict and would serve as a reminder that, even if a stack of CDs from third-wave emo bands (or whatever) sucks away 40 hours of his life, there's still a ton of fantastic music out there --- whether it's new or old --- that makes life great.

Thanks to Dead Man for No. 6; thanks to Matthew Perpetua for Nos. 5, 8 and 16.
