    • Mix tapes are very consuming enterprises even for someone who makes plenty of playlists on a regular basis. I finally got around to putting together a bunch of songs to stand as my 40 American months mix, and I have to admit I’m pleased with this one (read about past ones here).

    I went through the trouble of bolding a few tracks that benefited from heavy IPod rotation.

    1. Of Montreal - Heimdalsgate like a Promethean curse
    2. Copeland - Control freak
    3. Me First & the Gimme Gimmes - Much too young to feel this old
    4. The Shins - Turn on me
    5. Margot & The Nuclear So & So’s - Skeleton key
    6. Bon Savants - Between the moon and the ocean
    7. Umbrellas - Angel or demon
    8. Shiny Toy Guns - Rainy Monday
    9. Damien Rice - Rootless tree
    10. My Chemical Romance - This is how I disappear
    11. Dear Leader - Radar
    12. The Long Blondes - Once and never again
    13. The Decemberists - The crane wife 3
    14. Voxtrot - Fast asleep
    15. Arcade Fire - Intervention
    16. Beirut - Scenic world
    17. Pony Up! - Dance for me
    18. Peter Bjorn and John - Objects of my affection
    19. Modest Mouse - Dashboard
    20. Cold War Kids - Hospital beds
    21. The Strays - You are the evolution
    22. Deerhoof - + 81
    23. The Dresden Dolls - Delilah
    24. Devastations - I don’t want to lose you tonight

      Nasty. Who comes as a regular overnight visitor and doesn’t bring a toothbrush? You and this bloated 40-year-old stranger obviously have shared a lot without even knowing it.
