So Krzysztof Kieslowski made three films named after the tricolore, I figure I should at least match that, in mixtapes. Then we'll see, I have lots of crayons in funny colors I could make mixtapes about...

Track 13 from Sad Sappy Sucker
Length: 00:02:37
Year: 0000
Track Description:
About the meanest sounding I've ever heard Modest Mouse. Is it really Isaac Brock singing? The tune meanders and weaves, and fans of Modest Mouse diss this, but I think it's awesome. And it nicely sets the stage for Melvins.

Track 6 from Horse Stories
Length: 00:03:54
Year: 0000
Track Description:
The members of the Dirty Three create some magnificent, barely controlled chaos in this tune that like the rest of their music I suppose could be called proto-post-rock if one want a category to fit them in. Warren Ellis makes his second appearence in this mix, as he's also a member of the Bad Seeds.

Track Description:
And if the Dirty Three are "proto", then Johnnytwentythree are the inheritors. The song builds slowly, first with just a drum strumming out a marching beat, then the characteristic post-rock guitars fall in.

Track Description:
If I don't use this song here, when will I next get the chance to put a 21 and a half minute long song on a mix? Wata's guitar licks here are subdued, but still delicious. Put on your headphones and close your eyes.

Rachael, your mix was one of the inspirations/stumbling blocks for making this mix. I like yours very much, and I wasn't sure I should make one on exactly the same theme. But then I thought, who cares. :)
