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
