same ol' cliche: i had a crush on a boy awhile ago and made him a tape.

note: the reason portishead is on it so many times is because he hadn't even heard of them! obviously, i needed to fix that.

Length: 00:04:10
Year: 2004
Track Description:
although it takes a little while for the beat to come in, this is a great track to start side B with: it's more lively than "dig this vibe" which ended

Year: 2002
Track Description:
the verve remixed series are the final products of a great concept: taking classic jazz tracks and
having modern electronica artists remix them. the track i chose has billie holiday's gorgeous vocals with a very bassy loop and triphop and indian influenced beats. towards the end, around 2:41, the remixers take her vocals and cut it up to make this very beautiful phrase of
jibberish. brilliant.
