Tracks

1. Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism

This song is big and grand but at it's heart, it's simple and direct.

2. Sufjan Stevens - The One I Love

Covers are wierd. The orignal version of this song: great but a little creepy. Sufjan's version: great and tender.

3. Emily Haines - Our Hell

"Our hell is a good life."

[UPLOAD COVER]

4. New Order - Love Vigilantes

Great song with a twist ending.

The first time I heard this song, I wished I'd wrote it.

6. Wilson Picket - Let Me Be Your Boy

Every mixtape needs a little soul.

The title kinda says it all.

Best song they've ever done.

10. Thievery Corporation - Angels

Great groove and great vocals from Norah Jones.

[UPLOAD COVER]

11. The Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

I actually don't dance but we can ignore that fact.

13. The Boy Least Likely To - Be Gentle with Me

A pretty song from a weird couple of guys.

From Gary Lightbody's (of Snow Patrol fame) side project.

[UPLOAD COVER]

15. The Cure - Close to me

You know, for a guy who seems really fucked up (please don't sue), Robert Smith can write a very tender song when he wants.

16. Moby - Flower

Oft overlooked b-side from Play.

[UPLOAD COVER]

17. The Replacements - Answering Machine

"How do you say I miss you to an answering machine?" Man, we've all been there.
