wake up to your future under a bright night sky.

Artist Song
the decemberists  when the war came 
sambassadeur  someday we're through 
poni hoax  crash-pad driver 
carla bruni  ma jeunesse 
late of the pier  heartbeat 
ted leo and the pharmacists  tell balgeary, balgury is dead 
the lawrence arms  chicago is burning 
the maccabees  all in your rows 
rise against  state of the union

i'm from barcelona  oversleeping 
shudder to think  red house 
why?  mutant john 
this bike is a pipe bomb  of chivalry and romance in a dumpster 
the falcon  blackout 
the playing favorites  waiting 
bikini k i l l  reject all american 
the new amsterdams  never treat others 
brandtson  over and out 

Comment:

60 minutes, for john. after years of not seeing one another (i got married, he moved to chicago) i reunited over the christmas break with a dear f r i e n d. it was just like old times, right down to the hour or two spent listening to old mixtapes we made in high school. he was inspired to take his cassette deck on the flight home and i was inspired to make something he can remember me by that doesn't reek of late-90s pop-punk nostalgia. hence this mix.

What a difference a decade makes! Looks like a great mix for the guy to take home.

Glad to see you feel well enough to entertain an old frie_nd. Nothing like vintage mixtapes to refresh the ties that bind.
