Mixtape Archives

Mixtape #1

Prime Numbers

Singular songs from my three favorite artists.

• Wire Train – Last Perfect Thing

• Lloyd Cole - Sentimental Fool

• The Railway Children - In the Meantime

Seventeen are the shades in the sky
Of a cold Nebraska blue
She can make the flowers smell like heaven

Mixtape #4

Endless Nights

Quiet moments shared by two.

• The Beautiful South - Prettiest Eyes

• Travis – Closer

• Billy Bragg – The Fourteenth of February

You can't have too many good times, children
You can't have too many lines
Take a good look at these crows feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Mixtape #5

AM Radio

From the way-back seat of our station wagon -- no seat belts.

• The Modern Lovers – Roadrunner

• Diesel - Sausalito Summernight

• REO Speedwagon – Roll with the Changes

And the neon when it's cold outside

And the highway when it's late at night

Got the radio on

I'm like the roadrunner

Mixtape #6

Under Cover

Originals re-interpreted and re-imagined.

• Death Cab for Cutie – Waterfalls

• Betty Who – I Love You Always Forever

• Moonrunner83 – Lovers in a Dangerous Time

But all the praying just ain't helping at all, 'Cause he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble, So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how, Another body laying cold in the gutter

Mixtape #2

Divided Highway

Windows down, all gas, no brakes.

• Pronoun – In the Still

• The Pursuit of Happiness – Cigarette Dangles

• Thyla - Fade

Take me to your room where the flowers hang like bats
Poison me with liquor then break out the party hats

Mixtape #8

Multiple Personalities

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?

• Mating Ritual - Drunk

• Lloyd Cole - Morning is Broken

• DeeExpus - One Eight

The sun goes down and now the shadows arise The morning is broken as you mourn your life
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your door
You face up the mirror, mister, pimp or whore?

Mixtape #3

Passing Through

Shades on, hands in pockets, paying no mind.

• Mosa Wild – Smoke

• Joshua Radin – These Hands

• Guster – Either Way

And if we don't let go, stay in the echo
That hangs in the hallway all our lives
They'll make you dinner at the end of the day
They'll work to the bone so the bills are paid

Mixtape #7

Mudd Clubbing

Dictatorship at the door, democracy on the dance floor.

• Big Audio Dynamite - The Globe

• Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Maximum Joy

• Gina G - Just a Little Bit

Come on dim the lights
It's party time
Switch on the strobe Do what you like

Mixtape #9

Farewell Tour

The lights dim and the curtain falls.

• Jimmy Eat World - My Sundown

• Love Spit Love - Fall on Tears

• The Slow Show - Bloodline

I'm watching the world go round
I'm watching the world's end
And I could get lonely
If this is a lie she said

Mixtape #10

Shrinking Lasso

Homage and tribute to music supervisors.

• Hohnen Ford - Honest Mistake

• Your Broken Hero - With Me You're Home

• The Rocketboys - On the Other Side

The scars you wear today may never fade And that's okay
Your beautiful you are stays the same

Mixtape #11

College Radio

Platters and turntables over air.

• Flesh for Lulu - I Go Crazy

• The Connells - Over There

• The The - Uncertain Smile

Peeling the skin back from my eyes I felt surprised That the time on the clock was the time I usually retired

Mixtape #12

City, State

Locations, locations, locations.

• Nate Currin - Goodnight California

• Lloyd Cole - Memphis

• Kate Tucker - New Orleans

There’s a house on the edge of town Filled with things that we left around Empty bottles and broken mirrors Trying hard just to disappear
