Comment:

There is really no concept or specific order to these songs. It's just a mix of more recent stuff I put together for someone that claims to like music but really doesn't at all. I keep attempting to get him into things other than electro type music but I usually end up failing. I wonder if it's worth it? I mean the guy hates basically every rock band that I can think of. Here's hoping that I somewhat succeed with this.

Well you never know what'll shake people out of their habitual music tastes, and into something else. Could be Deerhoof, Califone, FF, I&W, Liars, Sufjan, TV on the Radio, the Walkmen or Young & Sexy. I really like all of these choices, and the whole mix more generally. Nice job.

I had a roomate who's concept of music was video-game midi files. After about a year of nagging him telling him it was crap I kinda got him onto the Doves. I like the Sondre Lerche pick! Good luck on your project. (Is this Franz Ferdinand album as good as people are hyping it up to be?)

After Metal Music Machine, a lot of people claimed Lou didn't know much about music...is this the same Lou u made the mix for or someone who shares the same name? Looks a good mix!

(Dom1) Just to be annoying and butt my nose where it doesn't belong, I believe that this Lou Reed title may have come from a famous quote of Mr. Reed's that goes something like "All music sucks". (not to steal Roka's thunder) Still diggin' this mix!!

just so everyone understands, this kids name is not Lou Reed. This guy told me he was the next Lou Reed and that he was the best songwriter I knew. This coming from a kid who can't play an instrument and can only beat box. This was truly upsetting to the point where I couldn't sleep. I know you think no one can suck this bad, but these people do exist.
