Comment:

I made this fo a friend of mine who has only two cds. They're both REM, and he hates "loud guitars." So this is a mix to kinda piss him off and test his will to see if he'll make it to side B.

There's definately no element of gentle hums in that first song, "Shit Luck." That's a pretty rough way to start a mix tape. I would've probably opted for "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine" or "Lounge" off of that Modest Mouse album to start off with if you wanted to start with a kick. This is a pretty good mix of bands. Modest Mouse, Pixies, Nirvana, The Strokes, The Shins and Death Cab paint a very definite picture of a certain kind of raw kind of rock music. I probably also would've included some Neutral Milk Hotel (I always opt for their song "Song Against Sex"), maybe some Sebadoh or Quasi.

hmmmm good point.....oh well, the title was kinda a joke. It wasn't supposed to describe the tapeit was more of something as an inside joke between us. I wanted to call it 'FizzyFuzzy'
