Sometimes I contribute to an E-Zine called Tiny Mix Tapes. They have what's called an "Automated Mixtape Generator." Basically people can submit requests for mixes about anything that suit their fancy and "robots" will make the mixes for them. I'm a robot. Once in a while my fellow robots and I will swap mixes and this is "side A" of the mix I made. Since I reserve actual cassette tape mixes for people I really care about I just made two mix CDs and called them side A and side B. So sue me. There was no theme for this swap so I just made a mix of the songs that have been haunting me as of late.

Track Description:
I think this might be my favorite Matt Pond PA song. The other night, St. Patrick's Day, actually... I was at this bar with a bunch of people that I know and I found myself so totally disgusted with them all and thinking how stupid and fake they are. I couldn't help but think of this song. "If you don't know or care you'll be alright I heard it's modern to be stupid You don't need to talk to look good.. Pardon the intrusion Could we leave before it gets bad? I might smash up all these windows And set fire to the curtains.." SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Oh jesus this song is unbelievable. If you listen to the lyrics... "..But I've tried to breathe in meaning Dig deep to every gasp of air Because I know you did the same thing For as long as you could bear I guess everything just circles around to where it was before So I hope I see you soon In some other form" ...you realize that the song is about Elliott Smith and it will make you cry like a baby. Or at least that's what it does to me. I just can't understand why people don't like Bright Eyes. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
This song is amazing. "And as you passed out fast on my shoulder I imagined a child Waiting so sad and still for his mom to arrive Did she leave you an orphan In that big brown leather chair? Said, “ Don’t you move a muscle, kid I’ll be back in twenty years.†You were scared, you were lonely But you must’ve been aware Life is a series of callouses, this is just another layer So, build them up, tough it out, yeah that’s your skin Don’t let anyone under there" Tim Kasher is my hero.

So many hearts in great demand?" ...How could you not love it? SHOW LESS

So I figured I'd post what the kid I made this mix for had to say about it. I've had one too many glasses of Pinot tonight and my mom is getting married to an absolute douche bag tomorrow. I dunno, whatever.
"I really really loved these mixes. Songs that stood out for me were Neko Case, Matt Pond PA, New Bright Eyes (yes!), New Andrew Bird (YES!) and new Modest Mouse (YEEESSSS!!!). I realy liked the Dntel track too, and it was a blast from the past to ehar some Jets To Brazil on there! Not massively sure about the cover of Let's Dance though, but I don't really like the original too much anyway, and it may well grow on me. That is the only slightly negative point, because everything else was absolutely bleeding brilliant!!
Thank you so much Nicole, you have smashing taste!"
Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

In the future, Biff Tannen will almost assuredly own all of our asses. So, here's a preemptive honoring of his eventual kingship.
Congrats on first -- the future thanks you. Now, make like a tree and get the hell out.
