I made a mix cd today. It is for someone I'm trying "get to know". It ended up being a very long process. If you were going to make a mix CD you were trying to get to know better, what would you put on it?

Anyway, here is my tracklist:

1. Beating Hearts Baby - Head Automatica
2. Bridge and Tunnel - The Honorary Title
3. Jen - Jimmy Eat World
4. Whiner's Bio - Mates of State
5. Such Great Heights - Iron and Wine
6. Come On! Feel the Illinoise! - Sufjan Stevens
7. Collide - Howie Day
8. Tell Balgeary, Bulgury is Dead - Ted Leo
9. Life is Wonderful - Jason Mraz
10. Someday You Will Be Loved - Death Cab for Cutie
11. As Lovers Go - Dashboard Confessional
12. Take Our Cars Now - Saves The Day
13. Against All Odds - The Postal Service
14. Housefire - Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin
15. I'd Rather Dance With You - Kings of Convience
16. We Never Fight or Disagree - The Pale
17. Your Sweet Name - Nathaniel Carroll
18. Truth Hits Everybody - Motion City Soundtrack
19. We Were Made For Each Other/You Can Breath - Jack's Mannequin

20. Golden Slumbers - Ben Folds

If you're trying to impress this person, you'd better swap Ben Folds's "Golden Slumbers" with the Beatles' version. I mean, if you can have the Beatles, why would you want anything other than the original version?

Seriously though, very cool mix.

^Maybe because the Ben Folds version is better?

I think you're safe. It's hard to throw rocks via the internet.

I think the real question is why would you put "Golden Slumbers" on a mix when you could put "You Never Give Me Your Money"?

I keed, I keed...

 

[Idioteque]

I liked the Ben Folds version. But then again, I'm not all there.

As for the Beatles' version.... I can only listen to it in conjunction with "Carry That Weight." The drum transition from one song to the next is why I love the Beatles.

I keed, I keed...

He's got a point. But why not close the mix with "In My Life"? I mean, if you've ever graduated from anything, it'll hit ya. Or if you're just a Ramblin' Man...

To answer some of your questions:

1. Ben Folds instead of The Beatles version? This person I'm making the CD for and I have bonded over our love for the Beatles. So I wanted something Beatles-esque, with out putting The Beatles on it. I don't usually like Beatles covers, but I do love this version of Golden Slumbers.

2. I think Golden Slumbers is the perfect song to end any mix CD, Ben Folds or Beatles version.

3. I'm not ending it with IN MY LIFE b/c even though that is one of my favorite Beatles songs (and I don't mind the Johnny Cash version) it reminds me of my ex boyfriend too much.

What is "our" music. B/C last time I checked what I put on my list was "my" music.

The VU's version of "Sweet Jane" is one of my all time favorite songs.
