"You're lost in the mall"

PRAM "I'm A War"
RAINCOATS "In Love"
AKI TSUYUKO "Flutter"
NEKO CASE "Dreaming Man"
LA DUSSELDORF "La Dusseldorf"
ISHMAEL REED "Flight to Canada"
VELVET UNDERGROUND "I Can't Stand It"
RICHARD THOMPSON "From Galway to Graceland"
CARISSA'S WIERD WITH SAM BEAM "Chelsea Hotel"
MOUSE AND THE TRAPS "Maid of Sugar, Maid of Spice"
JIMI HENDRIX "1983 (A Mermaid I Should Turn to Be)"
FRED McDOWELL WITH THE HUNTER'S CHAPEL SINGERS OF COMO, MISS. "Tell the Angels"
Woah! How CLASSICKE ROCKE am I today?! I'm experimenting with this "you send it" business as a means of posting MP3s (for "free"). What do you think? Is it a real pain in the ass or what? Are these files recorded too "hot," or is that just my computer speakers acting up this morning? And finally, do you think these Carhartts make my ass look too big?

The files should all have been encoded with the source material this time, i.e. names of the albums and stuff right there on the file itself. So, you can just google that and find out how to get the original source material for yourself, right? Or ask me right here, too. Whatever. I like when people post comments... I may take 6 months to reply but that doesn't mean I don't love you.

PS: Mad props to whoever can discern a narrative within this mix tape/ these twelve tunes, arranged according to title length.


PPS: I know the Carissa's/ Iron & Wine collaboration really sort of... sucks... but to this day every time I listen to it, I have hope that it will sound good!

PPPS: One definition of "insanity" is to repeat the same act over and over again and expect a different result!

This is how I got it to work (on a Mac):
1. click on the title you want to download - this takes you to a You Send It Page;
2. click on option 1, which will start to open a new page, which won't load properly;
3. then if you stop this page from loading, you will get a message that says something like "Thank You for Using You Send It, your file is downloading, click here if download doesn't start" ;
4. you can then download & save the file from the "here' link.

A small pain.

It's sort of terrifying that if your cursor slips, you choose 'Remove this from YouSendIt's server forever and ever' instead of 'Download now.' Thanks for the songs...
