Comment:
I haven't posted a mix on here for ages. I feel strongly about this one because it's all songs that have been stuck in my head for long periods of time this year. I don't know if it's just the music, or if the lyrics have a deeper meaning for me, but I am drawn to every single song here in ways I cannot always explain.I think this mix has the right amount of punch and dreamy, the right amount of cheese and sincere, some old, some new, all of them songs that have entered my life in 2007. except for julee cruise, but I only watched Twin Peaks this year for the first time, so it still counts.
The last song by tv on the radio has kind of messed me up lately. or I feel messed up and this song captures that. but I feel torn apart and stitched together by this song. It's powerful. And I have to say that gone for good must be the most perfect song ever written. It's an exercise in harmony and mixed metaphors.
Feedback:
this is a great-looking set, especially TV on the Radio, Julee Cruise, Joanna Newsom... I'll have to check out that 'most perfect' Shins song. looks like it's been over 2 years since your last mix. welcome back!
great mix, i think i like it ;-)
absolutely adore the rufus, radiohead, arcade fire, smiths & shins tracks
this looks extremely good! i definitely agree with you on "gone for good"... such an amazing song! also a huge fan of "the book of right-on". keep the good mixes coming!
I love that Julee Cruise track, and the Shins. And everything on this mix goddammit...
Really great. Big fan of 1,4,8,10,12,16,17...basically everything
