Trans Pacific Love

I hadn't put together a mix CD in a long time so I tried to maximize the time available. This one clocks in at 79:44. There are peaks and valleys, interludes and a two song coda. I spent some time thinking about it as I went along. It's a lot easier using the PC than the old days when you had to make it in real time. Although there's something to be said for that as well. This one is in the mail right now winging its way to Southern Japan. It won't be much of a surprise if Joel sees this before it gets there. I chose a lot of the songs for the way the end of one track blends into the next one. Anyway, the tracks:

1. Gnarls Barkley - Neighbors

2. Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof

3. The Kinks - Victoria

4. XTC - Generals and Majors

5. Moving to France - The Remote Control

6. The Specials - A Message To You, Rudy

7. The Replacements - God Damn Job

8. Uncle Tupelo - No Depression

9. Deerhunter - Agoraphobia

10. Portishead - Humming

11. The Dukes of Stratosphear - Brainiac's Daughter

12. Belle and Sebastian - Mayfly

13. Grandaddy - Disconnecty

14. Justice - Phantom

15. Justice - Phantom, part II

16. Slint - Good Morning, Captain

17. Red House Painters - Make Like Paper

18. The Sea and Cake - Up On Crutches

19. The Alchemist - Shine
