Okay! For some reason, my computer has decide that it doesn't like burning CDs comprehensibly anymore, so my mixdisc is delayed indefinitely. Nonetheless, I think I'll post the playlist (although not precisely in final order yet):

The John Benjamin Band, "What We Need More Of Is Science"
The Flaming Lips, "All We Have Is Now"
The John Benjamin Band, "Man of the Year"
Moxy Fruvous, "Sahara"
Raised By Wolves, "120 MPH"
Raised By Wolves, "Firecrackers (JBB Cover)"
R.E.M., "Daysleeper"
The Police, "Synchronicity II"
Murray Head, "One Night In Bangkok"
They Might Be Giants, "Dead"
Drew, "Shipwreck"
SMU, "Two Bucks and I'm Yours"
Octothorpe, "Watch Your Face"
The Left Banke, "Pretty Ballerina"
Thomas Dolby, "Screen Kiss"

Word. up.  

For a recent asinine correspondance-English course I've been working on, we had to chose an epitaph for ourselves, and I chose a few lines from that song as mine.

Niiice playlists, JL. I particularly like how well the Limozeen track integrates on the first disk -- it fits, utterly, even though it really should not.

::Takes a bow::

This is actually my second run at it.  For the original concept, I picked my 15 favorite bands and then chose my second favorite song from each of them.  That's when I realized that all my favorites are radio songs, and that I am as un-indie as you can possibly get without actually listening to Britney Spears.

I actually sort of like this general concept -- I think I may try to put together a playlist of "semi-favorite songs from favorite bands." It's an interesting challenge.

And thirded.  I've wanted to make a disc of all time favorite songs, but I thought who wants a mix disc of songs we've all heard?

Me, I do.

For a second, I had to diagram that sentence in my brain. But it IS a real one. And for that, the second disk shall be titled "Mr. Hal Andalucia"

Yeah, apparently I'm all about the needlessly archaic constructions.  As for the title, I'm flattered, nigh on giggling like the proverbial schoolgirl that I in fact am.

I didn't realize you were a proverbial schoolgirl!  

Sorry.  I really am.  I'm in an odd mood tonight.
