Comment:

The second part of the 2003 Graduation Mix, which is really the "Don't Let Go" disc because of the sentimentality of the tracks. This mix is about indecision, holding on, remembering all the good times even when they were really bad times. I notice now that there are an abundance of Beatles songs here, but I'm really not going to apologize for it, because the band solely responsible for my love of music deserves a couple slots on a retrospective mix. I think the CD really kicks after "Konstantine," and I love "In My Life" following the Wilco song. The last two songs may not work for everybody... but they're both relics from 5 years ago, and they remind me of summer nights at Queens College when past and future seemed one and the same. Well, enjoy... I'll be disappointed if it doesn't make you cry.

i just made an "off to college" mix, and the final track was that nico song. so good choice. the red house painters also feels appropriate, somehow.
