a dancing friend of mine from the east coast made me a mix of music. i got it sometime around christmas, and have yet to spend any time listening to it. it was just a cd, blank, no writing, and no glitz or glitter to draw me in. i decided the way to get motivated about listening to it would be to figure out what tracks are on it, and maybe to give it a name. though it is still yet unnamed, here are the tracks:
music from aaron
1. josh ritter – monster ballads
2. sun kil moon – ocean breathes salty
3. beck – lost cause
4. contra dance tune
5. neko case – star witness
6. belle and sebastian – dog on wheels
7. the books – it never changes to stop
8. interpol – leif erikson
9. the dresden dolls – the jeep song
10. cliff edwards – that’s my weakness now
11. interesting dreamy techno tune
12. david sedaris – lesson 4: with a pal like this, you don’t need an enemy
13. modest mouse – people as places as people
14. throwing muses – backroad
a few of them are completely instrumental and i haven't figure out a way to search for tunes online other than by lyrics.
various artists - music from aaron, christmas 2009
- favorite tracks: monster ballads, contra tune, star witness, that's my weakness now, dreamy techno tune, people as places as people
- comments: this is the first completely indie album i've listened to [another friend gave me an album with guster, sarah harmer, and jonatha brooke, but i'd heard of all the artists]. in this case, i'd heard music by beck and modest mouse before, and heard david sedaris read before. i'd heard OF interpol and throwing muses, but never heard their music. so this was a real, TRULY new music friday.
- more comments: this is a PERFECT album for a monday morning. none of the songs are loud, thrashy, squealing, or annoying in any way. thanks aaron!
