Comment:
This was last month's mix. Like the majority of mixes and actual albums, it's mainly a compilation of songs that were heavy on my rotation at the time, and their union on this album ended up making a strange kind of perfect sense. I mean, TRL princesses Lillix, JLH, and Avril sharing space with '80s indie faves The Smiths sharing space with pop-punk lightweights Gob, Goldfinger, Allister, and Relient K? So I wonder if anyone besides me could even tolerate this album in its entirety, but like I said, unless you're going for certain themes, that's the general nature of these things. There are always a few peculiar choices in there that seem out of place to everyone but the mixer him/herself. As if all of that weren't obvious. Sorry. Matt Nathanson and Bachelor Number One were my odes to "American Wedding"; the sounds of Fall Out Boy, Alkaline Trio, and Yellowcard are aberrations for me but they've all contributed good singles recently; Rancid was new; Weezer covering Green Day is an historical event not to be missed (in principle - their version is enjoyable but nearly as); Cake and Something Corporate are stalwart songs that I just felt like listening to again; and Neil Sedaka is my usual oldies cameo. I like to incorporate a little bit of the '50s or '60s into each of my mixes (you'll see). The pop-punk abundance accounts for my shameless love for that genre. And so on and so on :)Feedback:
a nice variety of picks. weezer covering Green Day. hmmm.
Not a whole lot can beat Neil Sedaka that's for damn sure
