I made a mix cd for my friend at work today. She's around fifty and has never heard of anything that isn't mainstream. She happen to walk by my cube and notice me rocking out to some McLusky ( ) and asked me to make her a mix. So... for anyone that's curious, here it is.
1 - Explosions in the Sky - A Song For Our Fathers
2 - American Analog Set - Come Home Baby Julie, Come Home
3 - Aloha - You've Escaped
4 - Arab Strap - New Birds
5 - Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Death To Everyone
6 - Iron & Wine - Bird Stealing Bread
7 - Nick Drake - Place To Be
8 - Colin Meloy - I've Changed My Plea To Guilty
9 - Elliot Smith - Pitseleh
10 - Do Make Say Think - 107 Reasons Why
11 - Notwist - Pick Up The Phone
12 - Fruit Bats - Slipping Through The Sensors
13 - Silver Jews - Wild Kindness
14 - Decemberists - Shiny
15 - McLusky - To Hell With Good Intentions
I know that last one doesn't really go with the feel of the cd but I needed something up-tempo for the end. Besides, that's the song she caught me listening to.

Looks like a great mix. Wow. I have only heard of 4 of those bands you have on there.
