A few years ago I made a two part mix for a long car ride. On it was a very short list of things I was listening to. Mixes can capture a certain period in a person’s life... an emotional trend that they were going through.
Below is a slightly updated version of that first mix (I lost the originals long ago but did my best to recapture the spirit of it):
1. Lookin’ Out My Backdoor - Creedence Clearwater Revival
2. Magnolia Soul - Ozomatli
3. San Diego Super Chargers - NFL Themes
4. The Rain - K-OS
5. Gold Lion - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

7. Kiss The Sky - Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra
8. Breaking The Girl - Red Hot Chili Peppers
9. Beth - Kiss
10. Novocaine For The Soul - Eels
11. Save Tonight - Eagle Eye Cherry

It’s a long list of obvious and not-so-obvious songs that made a long car ride not so bad... then I had to make another one... and another. So I’m gonna list Mixes as they come from here on out.
