This mix started out as a playlist containing over fifty tracks. I made the playlist because I had been reading in Rip It Up and Start Again quite a bit and had watched Urgh! A Music War. I was listening to a lot of tracks similar to these. Day by day, I whittled the list down to these sixteen songs. The mix happened to fit on a sixty-minute cassette. This has been a helpful mix for long days at work doing mind-numbing, data entry nonsense. These are the sixteen songs that drew me in the most. To me, the mix has some gravity, and I keep listening to it over and over.

Track Description:
For various reasons I have not listened to a lot of U2's work. I dig It Might Get Loud, and from that film, I have greater respect for Edge's work. "A Day Without Me" was featured in the film and I have played it more than any other track from the band during the last year. SHOW LESS

I was thrilled that Interpol released new material last year, yet dismayed to read that Carlos had departed the band. This self-titled album took a few listens to grow on me, but it became one of my very favorite albums of 2010 and possibly my favorite album from the band. SHOW LESS

Track 1 from The Queen is Dead
Length: 00:06:24 Year: 1985 |

Track Description:
I'm still learning how truly amazing The Smiths were. I can't hear Moz say, "She said, 'Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing.' I said, 'That's nothing, you should hear me play piano'" without thinking of Eleven (Matt Smith as the Doctor). The lyric makes me smile every time I hear it. If you have read this you should re-evaluate your hobbies, but thank you all the same for your time. SHOW LESS

I was wondering where all those great derhay mixes had gone. You are missed (by more than just me). I hope all is well.

Some real winners here, derhay. I read Simon Reynolds' book a couple of years ago and for doing so I can better appreciate this playlist all the more. Cheers.
