For when the alcohol start to punish you.
This is for when you lie in bed at night thinking terrible things.
This is for when your wishes don't come true.

Track 1 from Dear Science,
Length: 00:05:31
Year: 2008
Track Description:
This is one of those songs that blew me away the very first time I heard it. Usually, I need a few listens for everything to soak in and impress me, so that's awesome.

(I love how well this flows into the next track)

Track Description:
Not a giant Ladytron fan as her vocals can grate on me, but this is killer. A great single.

I edited the first few seconds, so it starts right off with the riff.

Track 7 from Whip It On
Length: 00:03:16
Year: 2002
Track Description:
I had heard of the Raveonettes before, but never listened until I heard Faris Badwan (from The Horrors) play this song in a guest DJ set on a radio show. It is fucking amazing. AMAZING. The little Christmas sleighbells tinkling in the background juxtapose SO WELL with the sludgy, slow garage-rock feel of the song.

I liked this EP so much that, in my original mix, I have "Do You Believe Her?" tacked on at the end of the track.

Track 6 from Crystal Castles
Length: 00:04:12
Year: 2008
Track Description:
Though this album has kind of lost some of its original charm for me, it was a major staple of my listening last summer (2008). My GF (for whom this mix was made) cannot stand the vocalist girl, so this is an instrumental. Sort of. It samples little child voices.
Makes me feel happy AND badass!

Track 1 from Wet from Birth
Length: 00:03:06
Year: 2004
Track Description:
I haven't seen many bands live, but holy shit - these guys are the greatest live performers I've ever seen. Nothing compares to hearing the headline band start their set with "In the beginning there was SEMEN" (from Birth). This album and Danse Macabre are dance-synth-pop-punk masterpieces.

Who saw this coming? Primary Colours is my #1 favorite album of '09. "Who Can Say?" just might be my #1 song of '09. Brilliant. The evolution here from their first album is staggering. I can't wait to see where they go from here.

Track Description:
Oh, Kevin McMahon. You're the American David Bowie! Why does no one see it? Why aren't you known for anything other than the mild success of this song? And why was it on the Showgirls soundtrack?!

It's about wearing fur, and thinking about why people think it's sexy...

Track 8 from More Deep Cuts

Track Description:
Another recommendation by the friend from track 2. Apparently this band is a single guy. Like Nine Inch Nails. Except this guy doesn't make albums that destroy everything in a 10-mile radius with pure sonic orgasms like NIN. Nope, think the opposite of that. Still good though.

And there you have it! The next mix is in the works, but I average one completed mix per month, so don't expect it tomorrow. There's like 17 complete ones sitting around for me to upload, but I'm lazy. Eventually, they will all be up.
