I love a good MixTape. It was the Beastie Boys who proclaimed that a good mix tape can put you in the right mood. They were right. I am in the process of wrapping up MixTape 3, but before that I never posted anything about MT2.
I did this over Spring Break. I took the week off while my kids were out of school. It was a nice week, but it was also a pretty quiet week. I did a fair bit of running, and this mix evolved from a running mix. As it evolved it mellowed a little, though.
The general theme was a continuation of MT1, but since the first got dibs on the choicest cuts this one had to dig a little deeper. There are a couple of potential misses in here, too. I’m still thinking about making a revision (or two).
So here it is:
- Float On - Modest Mouse
- Everybody’s Changing - Keane
- Where I Stood - Missy Higgens
- Romeo and Juliet - The Killers
- Mr. Brightside - The Killers
- Porcelain - Moby
- Love Me Like You - The Magic Numbers
- Church On Sunday - Green Day
- Yellow - Coldplay
- Mansard Roof - Vampire Weekend
- Hey Girl - O.A.R.
- A Common Disaster - Cowboy Junkies
- Diamond In The Rough - Jennifer Knapp
- Crazy - Shawn Colvin
- Ramble On - Led Zeppelin
- Pass The Mic - Beastie Boys
- Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
- It’s The End Of The World As We Know It - R.E.M.
I think I may still like MT1 better. There are some bumps in the flow, but it’s still a good mix.
Stay tuned for MT3 (“HeavyMellow”)….
