oh man, this is awesome. i totally forgot about that smashing pumpkins track... i remember seeing the video for it years ago and thinking how my love for them tripled just because of their sweeeet sci-fi guitars...being all of 11 years old, it didn't take much, really. hahaha

ps: i'm so glad i don't watch tv... if i saw a CAR ad (of all things) with m83, i seriously would cry.

Cool, cool, cooool. Also, the Mogwai choice was a clever move, hotdamn. +, +, lots of +.

How the heck did you get away with using The Clash as #7????

I really wanted to use that Karate song for my first track, but I had already used it before. So I'm pretty much jealous that you got to have it this time.

also 2 things i'd like to confront you with:
1. The Meat Puppets version of Plateau would have been a manlier choice and although they are nut grunge, they are often associated with the grunge movement.
2. You gave me shit one time at lazerbeams for possessing a burned copy of pete yorn's first album that I got from Eli.

I like the mix though.

I do remember that movie. Even George Clooney says he only did it because they paid him 3 million dollars.

The Clash thing is kind of a joke -- according to the Top 40 charts, those are their only two official 'hits.' We all know The Clash is amazing.

Hard for me to think of The Clash as a two hit wonder. They must have had way more than that back in the UK. I think 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go' was no.1 or 2! If it wasn't, it should have been. I thought of Mogwai for no.5 before I went off in a different direction!
