This was a mix I made for my friend Alex because she had never been given one before and I felt the need to be first. =] It has a mix of things she already knows and things I thought she'd like.
tracklist
| 1 | Iggy Pop : The Passenger |
|
We both love a bit of Iggy and I decided to put him in here twice technically. As I also put The Stooges later on.

| 2 | David Bowie : Velvet Goldmine |
|
She had mentioned a film she had found awful but had a brilliant soundtrack named after this song. It's loosely based on David Bowie's friendship with Iggy Pop. I recently watched it as well and it's ok but still the soundtrack is better.

| 3 | Lou Reed : Perfect Day |

I know she loves Lou Reed and has before told me she 'wants his grumpy little babies'. I recently watched Trainspotting and loved the use of this particular song in that.

| 9 | The long Blondes : Giddy Stratospheres |
