Mixtape 3

The tracks on this playlist are more laid-back than normal--it was a rough week. Excellent choices nevertheless.





Mixtape 3
(Requires a Rhapsody subscription for full access)




1. Black Cab - Jens Lekman
He's typically compared to B&S. Try, but you won't get the chorus out of your head.

2. There's Too Much Love - Belle And Sebastian
Ah, how convenient--some B&S. Turn up the volume and let the spastic dance commence.

3. Fake Palindromes - Andrew Bird
The song that stuck the most after listening to his last album.

4. I Love How You Love Me (written by Phil Spector) - Jeff Mangum
The beginning of a Jeff Mangum (NMH) block. Excellent Phil Spector cover.

5. Engine - Jeff Mangum
Jeff's strength is his soulful vocal style, which shines on this track.

6. Naomi - Jeff Mangum
A hightlight from Neutral Milk Hotel's On Avery Island. Also check out Gardenhead.

7. Ole - The Bouncing Souls
Punk rock version of this classic futbol stadium anthem.

8. Per Second Second - The Wrens
In honor of last Friday's show.

9. Where Eagles Dare - Misfits
First of many Misfits appearances in this mixtape series.

10. Salesman at the Day of the Parade - Rogue Wave
A nice, breezy, catchy track from Rogue Wave's last release.
