i drove for hours trying to find her: she was sleeping under the stars (2 CDs of heartbreak)

Side A
Artist Song
black heart procession  a cry for love 
Ida  blizzard of 78 
The Dears  there is no such thing as love 
New Amsterdams  when we two parted 
Slowdive  here she come now 
Cocteau Twins  when momma was moth 
The Autumns  boy with the aluminum stilts 
Maximilian Hecker  polyester 
Red House Painters  you are my everything (live) 
Mountain Goats  stars fell on alabama 
Cat Power  i don't blame you (live) 
Codeine  loss leader 
Appleseed Cast  forever longing the golden sunsets 
Idaho  thick and thin 
Flake  pull out of your head size (spark ep) 
Jets To Brazil  empty picture frame 
Beulah  delta 
Galaxy 500  isn't it a pity 
American Footbal  let's just pretend 
Velvet Underground  Oh! Sweet Nuthin! 
Rainer Maria  breakfast of champions 
Side B
ArtistSongBuy
Autumns  oriel 
Mark Gardner (of RIDE)  vapour trail (acoustic live) 
Codeine  realise 
Galaxy 500  blue thunder 
Black Heart Procession  beneath the ground 
Luna  bonny & clyde (live) 
Flaming Lips  do you realise (live) 
Bethany Curve  fourteen 
Tarnation  old black egg 
American Analog Set  the following morning 
Moutain Goats  stay here and drink 
American Footbal  summer's end 
Mojave 3  you're beautiful 
Starflyer 59  just wanna be you 
Aarktica  aura lee 
Reindeer Section  hours it takes sometimes 
Coastal  her reflection in chrome 
My Bloody Valentine  never say goodbye 
The Czars  concentrate 
Our Lady Peace  right behind you 
(Red House Painters)  (have you forgotten) 

Comment:

so its for this person. sad, but good, blah blah blah. good mix of a bunch of great music this person never knew, but now does.. a great "and on that note, i'm leaving town" mix...

sad, to say, this will probably be the last i will speak to this person.. at least i leave with them with this 2 CD set. at least we have the past 6 years, right? i really like this and am very pleased. enjoy!

i figured if ANYONE would dig this, it would be you or Courtney (though, i'm holding out for Ion Moe and Patrick Taylor, who, I have a tape ready for!).

shall we ready a trade Julie? :)

You have done a great service, getting some of these songs onto a mix. "I'm leaving town" mixes must leave an impression, and with the Mountain Goats, Cocteau Twins and Beulah providing great songs, this mix must certainly leave an impression. Great. Great. Great.

I *REALLY* wanted to add: John Vanderslice "Amtryptyline- live" and Shakespeare's Sister's "Stay" -- the latter for a laugh, to end on a happy note, but OLP did it much better..

oh yes, and possibly Death Cab for Cutie, but.. you cant put the world onto 2 CDs, eh?

Yes I do dig this S.D.! I'm sure the tears would be running down the cheeks after two hours of this. I'm trying to figure out the picture you've included. Is it Luna buried under two feet of snow? Someone call Mr. Plow and free those guys!

NICE, Ion -- for some reason, i had you in the back of my mind while i was making this! Sweet, now all i need is the approval of courtney and Patrick and my life is set -- joshing of course, but the pic is actually of The Autumns -- close withthe luna.. you know me and the snow-love-thing anyways :)

and youknow the funniest thing, this isn't even one of those "loved-and-lost" things.. its actually for my cousin... who i never knew my whole life, then we were slammed together, and... it was like the other half of me was there... and now i guess we're not talking anymore? anyways just some coloured background to the whole deal... "its all mixed up" huh?

SWEET Court!!! OH, you have to hear this! I almost put some bright eyes on there, but even THAT was too uppy for me (if that says anything of my mood now) -- and the title comes from last night... i lost my friend for about 2 hours, and i drove and drove and drove and i got back, and i found her laying in my backyard under the stars, and it was such a clear, clear night, and the moon was nice and bright and all i really saw was her profile... it made me really sad for some reason. i dunno. man,im glad this is going down good :)
