Comment:

For my girlfriend, who leaves for six weeks tomorrow. I tried to not make it all weepy, which is why it starts and ends with perky songs. I don't really care for Dave Matthews, but she loves him, so he makes it on here twice. I like the original Stones' version of "Wild Horses" better than the Sundays' cover, but I'd put that on another CD for her. And I nominate "The Luckiest" for the Lloyd Dobler Memorial "Songs to Play on a Boombox Outside Your Girlfriend's House" award.

"The Luckiest" is definately a weeper that earns it... I never imagined that Folds would top the poignancy of earlier songs like "Evaporated" and "Don't Change Your Plans."

And I praise Elliott Smith as one of the few guys who can pull off really romantic songs with lines like "Situations get fucked up..." If you like that song, I also recommend giving the song "The Biggest Lie" a listen off his eponymous album.

Nice mix, great finish, I like most of these tunes and there's a nice variety of stuff...
