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.
