With the purchse of our new computer, we have entered the 21st century with all its new-fangled technology. Which is why it was only yesterday — after deciding to take the day off or risk my head exploding from the tedium that is my day job — that I was able to finally go digging through my music collection in search of a mix CD. Soon after I finished (four hours after I began), I flipped on the tube and caught a commercial for the upcoming "broadcast television premiere" of High Fidelity. Where's Alanis Morissette when you need her?
So in the interest of . . . well, I can't actually think of a reason that this would be of interest to anyone, but here's the playlist:
"North Dakota," which has always been one of my favorite songs, was a last-second replacement for "One More Colour" by Sarah Polley and Mychael Danna (from The Sweet Hereafter soundtrack), and I'm starting to regret the move. I needed something a little more up-tempo to get from Nick Drake to Beth Orton. All in all, a great little collection, though. I've always had a thing for driving around by myself on those first warm days of spring, preferably around dusk and with the windows down. This CD will make a great companion for those trips.
Feel free to pass along your favorite mixes. I'm always looking for good music.
* The 31st of February was an early incarnation of the Allman Brothers. "God Rest His Soul" can be found on the first disc of their Dreams boxset.
