I, too, would buy and listen to that album. In fact, I've virtually done so thanks to the repeat button on my iTunes. Other great tracks are We Looked Like Giants, Brothers on a Hotel Bed, Coney Island, What Sarah Said, Bend to Squares, et cetera. You probably know them all already. What strikes me most from these lists is your apparent evolution. Music tends to draw strong opinion, so here goes: The first mix CD looks like a mostly terrible collection of "alternapop" (that is, mostly soulless pop which is marketed as not being soulless pop). The latest mp3 playlist looks positively fantastic, from the names I know... and definitely makes me curious to explore the names I don't. If I might be so bold, I might recommend anything (and everything) by B! Machine to persons who enjoy electronica. B! Machine goes best with a drink, preferably by yourself.
