Second place sucks. You're close enough to first that you can taste it, but you aren't considered good enough to have won. As the saying goes, you are indeed the first loser. Well, you'd be amazed at how many great songs follow up the opening album track on their respective albums. This compilation pays homage to the songs that were never quite good enough to make that #1 slot. Please join me in giving the following songs the credit they so rightly deserve.

tracklist

1 The Paddingtons : First Comes First
Hey, the title says it goes first, so the song goes first... got it? A great song from a great band that reminds me of a little stuffed bear in a giant yellow raincoat.

2 Death from Above 1979 : Romantic Rights
OMFG! One of the greatest bands of all time (I promise you that if you ever go on strike at your job, THIS is the band to listen to while you are walking around in circles holding a sign). So damn good because everytime I hear them I remember what a kick-ass show they put on.

1 Bassist + 1 Drummer/Vocals = Bruised ass (from the kicking, silly!)

10 TV On The Radio : Staring at the Sun
Quite possibly my favorite song of all time. No drums, but the beat is solid gold. A band that has no equal and a sound so original. Brilliance. Pure brilliance. And thus my need to share with you.

11 Muse : Bliss
One of the best performance bands. Vocals that are almost disturbingly pleasant move through a sea of keyboard, drums, and guitar.

12 We Are Scientists : This Scene is Dead
Note: Track is 00:03:43

The band of nerds (not really) bring the rock like Sarah Silverman brings the hots... and the sexys... and the funnies. An ending fitting of the mixtape. "Can't go home/ The night is young/ I'm blackin' out/ But it's been fun..."

Fierce mix. 'Romantic Rights' is my fave DFA song.
Also, if you merged eric's "Introductions Part I" mix with sledg's "Taking the Biggest Dump EVER" mix, you'd have this one.
