same ol' cliche: i had a crush on a boy awhile ago and made him a tape.
note: the reason portishead is on it so many times is because he hadn't even heard of them! obviously, i needed to fix that.

| 7 | Bjork : Foot Soldier |
|
this song is a b-side from vespertine, which i knew the boy loved. plus around 1:16 this harp sample plays all chopped up and stuttered and bjork cries out, "conquer the darkness!" ....needless to say, like many by her, it's beautiful and very sexual.

| 8 | DJ Krush : Dig This Vibe |

like most of krush's early work, this track is very, very sedate; a simple beat and bass loop with various jazz samples layered over it. simply fantastic.

| 9 | Mat Young : Illy Uno (Sixgun Alley Mix) |
|
although it takes a little while for the beat to come in, this is a great track to start side B with: it's more lively than "dig this vibe" which ended side A of the tape, so it wakes the listener up a little; plus it has a great beat. SHOW MORE

| 10 | Bonobo : Days to Come |
|
i generally try to avoid singles and title tracks when making mixes, but the first time i heard this song, played it on repeat for about two hours. the singer has a terrific voice and song is definitely down-tempo, but won't put you to sleep. it just fits so well with the flow of the tape.

| 11 | Invisible Pair of Hands : La Balancoire |

this song is sung in french and the voice is so sexual. if that isn't enough, the lyrics are about a heterosexual couple having sex, but i'm sure he understood the sentiment. SHOW MORE

| 13 | Billie Holiday : Don't Explain (Dzihan & Kamien Remix) |
|
the verve remixed series are the final products of a great concept: taking classic jazz tracks and having modern electronica artists remix them. the track i chose has billie holiday's gorgeous vocals with a very bassy loop and triphop and indian influenced beats. towards the end, around 2:41, the remixers take her vocals and cut it up to make this very beautiful phrase of jibberish. brilliant.

this is the last track i put on the boy's tape. it's a really cute song about a couple meeting very awkwardly for the first time, in a beautiful dream. ben gibbard, from death cab for cutie/postal service, provides the vocals and, needless to say, the lyrics are fantastic. SHOW MORE

I wish I had the balls to make the girl I have a crush on a mixtape.
I love this, and I love that you have more than one Portishead song on there. Man, this must've made the boy's day... It sure has made mine. Grrreat mixtaping skills.
