Mixed Tape

make me a mixed tape and i might fall in love with you. but it has to be just the right mix. not too long, not too short. not to high, not too low. i’m working on a tape for a friend who is overseas. three to be exact. the first is Sam Cooke’s Nightbeat. this is an album that i firmly believe everyone should own and as i was instructed when i bought it, it should be listened to after 2am preferably after a night of drinking. you can listen to it otherwise, but it won’t mean quite the same.

the second tape is titled Asleep and is as follows:

Overcome - Tricky Maxinquaye
Metal Heart - Catpower Moonpix
This Twilight Garden - The Cure B-Side to High Maxi Single
Eau D’Bedroom Dancing - Le Tigre Le Tigre
Love Songs On The Radio - Mojave 3 Ask Me Tomorrow
Everyday Is Like Sunday - Morrissey Viva Hate
Slow - My Bloody Valentine
Wonderwall - Ryan Adams Love Is Hell Pt. 1
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths The Queen Is Dead
You Are Everything - REM Green
Song To The Siren - Tim Buckley Starsailor
Dreams Burn Down - Ride Nowhere
Neko Case - Favorite Canadian Amp
Zero 7 - Home When It Falls
Redhouse Painters - Mistress (Piano Version) Redhouse Painters I
The Dirty Three - Some Summers They Drop Like Flys Whatever You Love, You Are
Blur - No Distance Left To Run 13
Monster Movie - Shortwave Last Night Something Happened

if you are interested, email me your mailing address and i will send a copy along. i just ask you do one for me in return. and though i am notoriously bad about sending mail on time, i promise i will! the third tape will be added when i’m finished deciding.

oh and replace tape with CD.
