figure out the constellations: for natalie, vol. 1

Artist Song
big star  ballad of el goodo 
the microphones  i felt your shape 
lou barlow  caterpillar girl 
the mountain goats  no children 
a.c. newman  most of us prizefighters 
mirah  advisorary committee 
neutral milk hotel  where you'll find me now 
john vanderslice  you were my fiji 
the replacements  androgynous 
camera obscura  books written for girls 
devendra banhart  rejoicing in the hands 
the dismemberment plan  time bomb 
pj harvey  the darker days of me & him 
nico  chelsea girls 
joanna newsom  sprout and the bean 
kasey chambers  barricades and brickwalls 
lorretta lynn  portland, oregon 
bjork  who is it? 
le tigre  tell you now 
stars  look up 

Comment:

i made this mix for my friend natalie who is a mixmaster herself but she wanted some new music so i (hopefully) came to the rescue. she's really into blues and jazz but we can bond over our mutual love of the replacements. i met natalie when i was a freshman and she was a sophomore and she was wearing a cow suit. i believe that's all that needs to be said about our relationship. some of these transitions aren't so hot (natalie is a transition queen, i think that made me nervous) but the lorretta lynn-->bjork isn't as awful as one would suspect proving that both lorretta lynn and bjork are geniuses. volume one is rather slow but look out for volume two as it will most definitely be a booty shakin' good time (any tiny, white girl who knows all the lyrics to "shoop" by salt-n-pepa needs a booty shakin' mix). title comes from the mirah song.
