So this new girl I'm seeing doesn't know most of the bands I love... she's never heard of The Dismemberment Plan, or Modest Mouse, or Guided by Voices, or Pavement. This does not surprise me. There are a ton of people out there just like her.
So we're talking about music and she sounds genuinely interested in hearing some of these bands. At the time the only CD in my car was Dis Plan's Emergency & I, so I played "The City" for her, she ****ing loved it. She asked me to make a mix of "all that indie stuff you talk about"... I told her it would be an epic, multi-volume compilation, and she seemed even more interested at the prospect. So here's what I'm burning for her... still under construction a bit, I'm having trouble tracking down a good mp3 of Sparklehorse's "Happy Man."
