I love a good duet, especially if it's male/female. This is the first in a 3 volume mix I made of collaborative efforts. There isn't one song on the mix I dislike and I've had a good response from family and friends about it so far. It may take me a while to get all three volumes up here, but fear not, they will all be made eventually!

| 1 | the blow : Some Chocolates |
|
This is the cutest little acapella duet between Khaela Maricich and Mirah and it's a good attention grabbing tune to start us off. Plus - handclaps!

| 2 | Lush : Ciao! |

A great song featuring the wonderful vocals of Jarvis Cocker and Miki Berenyi. A "good riddance" story, but perhaps the lady doth protest too much...

| 4 | Pink Nasty : Don't Ever Change |

A kick-ass duet between Pink Nasty and Will Oldham (AKA Bonnie "Prince" Billy). The lyric "Please baby, won't you shut the fuck up?" is classic.

| 5 | Snow Patrol : Set the Fire to the Third Bar |
|
I'll take this time to fess up: I'm not a Snow Patrol fan. At all. But when I heard this duet featuring the unique vocals of Martha Wainwright I fell in love. It's just a really catchy song. And, erm, whoever put this song in the database forgot to add the track length...

| 7 | The Postal Service : Nothing Better |
|
The Postal Service is one of those bands I like in small doses, but this duet between Ben Gibbard and Jen Wood is, well, enjoyable. "I feel I must interject here" is a great lyric and "Will someone please call a surgeon who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart" seems like they're taking the piss, and I like that. At least I hope they're taking the piss. :/

Guh, this song is gorgeous! Damien has found a good partner in Lisa Hannigan; they duet beautifully together. I'll admit, a little Damien Rice goes a long way for me, but this song is irresistible.

Featuring the wonderful Laura Veirs, this song really gets to me. I'm not a huge Decemberists fan, but lately I've been getting into more of their stuff (I blame Stephen Colbert!) and I'm liking what I hear.

| 18 | Luna : Bonnie and Clyde |
|
The version of this cover song I'm using is the slow one, dubbed "The Bonnie Parker" version. I prefer it to the faster-paced one and it fits much better on the mix. This song replaced "Tango Ballad" by Ute Lemper and Neil Hannon at the last minute. I'm still not entirely sure it was the right choice ... oh well. I much prefer the original, but everyone's heard that one.

This is so good, I love boy/girl songs. My favourites are the first 3, last 4 and 13 & 14. Great mix. Have you heard The Laws Have Changed by New Pornographers?

Wow, this mix is great. So much stuff on here that I haven't heard by people I love. + for helping me find some awesome new songs!!

There is so much love on this mix! I was sold with something from The Best Bit ep, but then you added The J&MC with Hope, PJ and Thom, Kristin, Moz and Siouxsie (on paper this is a tremendous duet, but it isn't quite what I'd hoped for), John and Neko, Chan and "BONNIE AND CLYDE"! That Luna cover is worth five for me. Outstanding mix.
