This is the mix I made for when me and Cormac McCarthy are spooning in our bombshelter.

tracklist

1 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young : Our House
This is a romantic mix, oh yes it is, and I'm not going to pretend it isn't. So this first song sets the tone. Unabashedly sentimental!

2 Papercuts : The World I Love
Papercuts is so soft and poppy, but somehow isn't so precious, the way the Shins and the like are, as to be obnoxious. The piano in this song follows Our House really well and it goes with the theme of the mix: The world I know is gone away!

3 Animal Collective : Grass
If you all haven't heard Strawberry Jam, go out and get it right away. Avey Tare, well, I'm in love with the man, and he dominates that album. This is a song from the album Feels that also has his hand in it. Its hard to say what makes his songwriting so effective but I saw these guys live not too long ago and dude was just a beast.

4 Jose Gonzalez : Crosses
The Swedes have invaded my music collection recently. I'm OK with this. They are benevolent. Jose Gonzalez is perfect music for drifting out into a big ocean of laziness and affection.

13 The Velvet Underground : Pale Blue Eyes
There are some albums that are weird to listen to as an MP3 or on CD. This album is one of them. I am used to a side A and a side B and that sound of record crackling. In fact, if I could just put that sound over this whole mix, that would be pretty nice.

18 The Mountain Goats : There Will Be No Divorce
Nothing makes me want to move to Portland more than the Mountain Goats. But, that might be resigning myself to a life of depression and crystal meth addiction? Would it be worth it?

19 Karen Dalton : Something's On Your Mind
If I were ever to be a musician, I would want to be some 70s lady singer-songwriter with a twangy voice and long straight hair and a lot of blazers. Karen Dalton has got class. This is the end of the mix. Feel free to repeat because, you know, it is radioactive outside.
