The FoH MixTape

[Ham n Cheese]

So if you were to create a mix-tape for the boards (12-15 songs) what songs would you add? Just don't use the same artist more than twice.

If possible try to avoid putting bands like metallica and coldplay. Bands where everyone is familiar with their music, make this more of a 'here are 15 bands I recommend and here's a song to get you started that i love' almost.

[brekk]

I dont know about 15 but heres a few individual songs Ive been listening to recently.

The Rosenburgs - Overboard
Gabriel Rios - Broad Daylight
Geto Boys - G-Code

[Zinke]

What a coincidence, I just finished making some mix CDs for a friend coming to town. She moved away to NY about 4 months ago, and has had my previous mix CDs on permanent rotation.

This is 'Audio Xanax'. It's meant to be listened to when on crazy drugs, trying to sleep, calm down, for studying etc..

Young Folks - Peter Bjorn and John
Sugarcube - Yo La Tengo
Cherry Blossom Girl - Air
Almost Crimes - Broken Social Scene
Milk Man - Deerhoof
Fortress- Pinback
Saeglopur - Sigur Ros
Two Hearts in 3_4 Time - The Avalanches
Moments in Love - The Art of Noise
Haiti- The Arcade Fire
You remind me of home - Ben Gibbard/Andrew Kenny (HOME album)
Suddenly is Sooner - Dntel
Natural Anthem - The Postal Service
Year of the Dog - Sufjan Stevens
We are what you say - Sufjan Stevens (I know you said not the same artist, But, this is what I did on the CD, on purpose, she knows Illinoise/Seven swans stuff. I think she'll find his electronic stuff, like 'year of the dog', interesting.)
Goodnight and Go - Imogen Heap
