Alright, alright, it's gone.

I didn't even read the song titles. I'm just gonna tell you right now that it's far too long. The point of a good mix is not to fill up the entire blank cd. As you have it right now, she's gonna get bored at the end.

Ok also you broke the rules of no more than one song per artist and no live music. Rob Gordon would hate you.

Honestly though, I don't extensively listen to any of these artists save Modest Mouse, and I don't recognize any of the other songs, so I can't really tell you anything.

Ted Leo - The Unwanted Things
My Morning Jacket - Phone Went West
Bob Schneider - Mudhouse

thanks for posting twice about it then

You must not know who I am. I do what I want.

Better suggestion than anything I would have thought of off the top of my head. You MUST include this song.

Also, Mickey's right about the too long / more than one song per artist deal.

Too long? Shit, it's not even an hour long and only two bands are repeated. I didn't know there were rules.

Who You Are-Pearl Jam
Walking on the Moon-The Police
With My Own Two Hands-Ben Harper
Brass in Pocket-Pretenders
Best Feeling-Keller Williams
It’s A Beautiful World-The Ramones
Into the Groove-Ziggy Marley
Give me One Reason-Tracy Chapman-Live
Zebra-John Butler Trio
What’d I say, Pt. 1-Ray Charles
Could We-Cat Power
Waiting in Vain-Bob Marley
So Much Beauty in Dirt-Modest Mouse

that's better, i think.

Well they're aren't any rules to making a mixtape. There are rules, however, to making a good mixtape.

Cat Power x2
Pearl Jam x3
JBT x2

Also, length usually has more to do with the number of tracks. If there's a lot of tracks, by the end, regardless of length, it can be burdensome to listen to.

You need to read High Fidelity.

do you keep a good treehouse

Pop Nerds have an abiding love of everything canonically agreed upon as great by their peers, none of whom they respect. Their own taste is unimpeachable, and everyone else's is dead wrong. They know more about bands they hate than you know about your favorite band. They know what label Jesus was on. They are torn between hating Rob Sheffield and secretly wanting to be him. They read books about books about music. Pop nerds are much more likely to be male than female, because boys have a far greater tendency toward wasting their lives in the pursuit of meaningless trivia. They fancy themselves as John Cusack from High Fidelity, but really they're a perfect mixture of Jack Black and the effeminate bald guy.
