Abrantes' Mix
Real Good Songs I already knew well
1. Dinosaur Jr, "Almost Ready"
Great openener.
2. ...And You will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, "It Was There That I Saw You"
The most memorable song from this great album.
3. Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, "Parallel or Together?"
5. Wolf Parade, "Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts"
6. Les Savy Fav, "Hold On To Your Genre"
7. Queens of The Stone Age, "Sick, Sick, Sick"
So many good QOTSA songs/
10. Okkervil River, "Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe"
Even though I've heard this song dozens of times before, for a half second when it started I got really excited because I thought it was Jimmy Eat World (The Middle) and Jimmy Eat World was briefly awesome. Anyway, this is one of the only Okervil River songs I still like.
14. The New Pornographers, "Letter From An Occupant"
Neko
17. Broken Social Scene, "Stars and Sons"
18. The Unicorns, "Sea Ghost"
As much as I like Islands/Clues, these guys need to get back together. I don't think it's gonna happen.
15. The Exploding Hears, "Sleeping Aides & Razorblades"
Great song.
My Favourite 00s Songs by these Artists:
23. The Secret Machines, "Nowhere Again"
4. TV On The Radio, "Wolf Like Me"
If I had taken a TVOTR song, it would have been this, "Staring at the Sun" or "Family Tree"
11. Guided by Voices, "Chasing Heather Crazy"
Such a good song.
12. Midlake, "Roscoe"
Their peak. I still haven't listened to their new one.
13. The Futureheads, "Hounds of Love"
Anyone who likes this (it's my favourite Futureheads song, despite being a cover - not sure what that says about them), the "Wolves at the Door Remix" is good as well
24. LCD Soundsystem, "All My Friends"
One of my very favourite songs from the 00s, not sure why I didn't have it on my list. I have a 4 minute single edit of this song that's pretty great for mixes.
New Songs/Haven't heard in a while
8. Man Man, "Mister Jung Stuffed"
This was definitely different
9. Sleater-Kinney, "Jumpers"
Had this on my iPod but don't remember why, apparently I've listened to it a few times before. Anyway, it's good.
16. Bouncing Souls, "Night Train"
Goes really well with the Exploding Hearts song, very similar feel.
19. The Avett Brothers, "Paranoia in Bb Major"
Good song. I like their new album better
20. The Wrens, "Ex-Girl Collection"
Somehow, I don't think I've ever listened to this band before.
21. Sonic Youth, "Unmade Bed"
Yes, this is a Sonic Youth song.
22. Portishead, "The Rip"
I like this more than I remembered, for the most part I don't get this band but this is good.
