ITT: We make bundles of music for others

[the shortest route to the sea]

i only picked Frontier Psychiatrist because it seems to be everyone's first Avalanches song, it helps people get into them

Exactly. Wonderful memories of that song.  

I won't have any time until Thursday night, and then I'll be weaving good spirits together, so not until this weekend.

Listening to one of their albums for the first time right now, I instantly recognized Since I Left You 

[Thyme]

Gah fuck you Kaz, now I have it stuck in my head.

[spoiler]...I guess now I'm the one who needs therapy. [/spoiler]

I think I'll assemble a mix with a bunch of bands with cities in their names...Of Montreal, Architecture in Helsinki, Jets to Brazil, Science of Sydney...I can't think of any others at the moment.

they only have one album

[Hiro]

I discovered that last night

Well I'm not really gonna go with the "10 that represent me" thing (maybe later), but I feel like passing on a folder of music that likely most of you haven't heard. Not all of it is totally indie (or rock), but most of it is or at least was. There's some good representation of Minnesota music in there, too.

almost entirely in m4a, since it's copied mostly from songs in iTunes that were ripped directly into it

it's a pretty interesting mix, there's even one hip-hop track and one song made up entirely of samples. several of the bands are well-known enough, some of them not indie at all but still under-appreciated.



36 tracks, only one song per artist...download it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VGW0QKYR

I love it, thanks dude.

I'm trying to make one right now but I can't narrow it down a whole lot

I think once I pack up my laptop for the trip, I'll head downstairs and work out something with some great variety.  Prolly it'll be too large.

Mine is currently 84 songs, I'm trying to whittle it down to a maximum of 60

Holy shit, Hiro dear.

I'm lucky, in that I have to ignore all the drm stuff on my Zune, but I mean still.

I don't think early Animal Collective gets enough love, so that's going on there. Essentially...I'm just going through my filesystem and picking things out. Expect great things.
