Mucking Things Up


There’s a new site called Muxtape that lets you make online mixtapes to share with your friends and random strangers - seems like a cool idea!

I put together a quick mix to try it out - it’s definitely fun to think of different themes to organize a tape around. My first muxtape can be found at http://onelittlesong.muxtape.com , and, if you’re RSS-savvy, you can get updates here.

This first set of songs has the boring theme of ‘My Favourite Artists Who Are Still Active (or Who Are Recently Deceased)’. Here we go:

• Wilco - ‘Misunderstood’ (from Being There)
• Pearl Jam - ‘Marker In The Sand’ (from Pearl Jam)
• Band of Horses - ‘Monsters’ (from Everything All The Time)
• Josh Ritter - ‘To The Dogs Or Whoever’ (from The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter)
• The Decemberists - ‘After The Bombs’ (from The Crane Wife - b-sides)
• Iron & Wine / Calexico - ‘History Of Lovers’ (from In The Reins)
• Elliott Smith - ‘Whatever (Folk Song in C)’ (from New Moon)
• Queens of the Stone Age - ‘Regular John’ (from Queens of the Stone Age)
• Radiohead - ‘Reckoner’ (from In Rainbows)
• Neko Case - ‘Star Witness’ (from Fox Confessor Brings The Flood)
• M. Ward - ‘Radio Campaign’ (from Transistor Radio)
• Gillian Welch - ‘I Made A Lover’s Prayer’ (from Soul Journey)

I’ll probably leave this one up for a week or two, then replace it with the next theme: Songs About Space. Or a different theme, if anyone has a strong opinion!
