Remember this from last year? It may not be Halloween yet, but it's still fun to play. I'm not entirely happy with mine yet - I haven't yet found anything I really like at #4. I fully expect to re-post later. Same rules as before, here goes:

1. "Ghosts" - Laura Marling (Alas I Cannot Swim
2. "Lost Coastlines" - Okkervil River (The Stand-Ins)
3. "Language City" - Wolf Parade (At Mount Zoomer)
4. "Road to Somewhere" - Goldfrapp (Seventh Tree)
5. "Give a Little Love" - Noah and the Whale (Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down)
6. "He Doesn't Know Why" - Fleet Foxes (s/t)
7. "Grapevine Fires" - Death Cab for Cutie (Narrow Stairs)
8. "Illgresi" - Sigur Ros (með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust)
9. "Strawberry Swing" - Coldplay (Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends)
10. "End of the Empire" - Sam Roberts (Love at the End of the World)
11. "Always" - Winona (Rosebud)

Come on, you know you wanna make one too! (I'd rather do this than make a best song list any day.)

This was actually pretty hard. Most of my favorites were all in the first several positions. I know that this will probably change a lot before year end, but here is what I have so far:

1. Jon Foreman - The Cure for Pain
2. Weezer - The Greatest Man That Ever Lived
3. Bon Iver - Skinny Love
4. The Whigs - Right Hand On My Heart
5. Emily Jane White - Time On Your Side

8. The Presidents of the United States of America - Loose Balloon
9. The Raconteurs - Five on the Five
10. State Bird - The Golden Glowing Mask
13. The Mountain Goats - Michael Myers Resplendent

I always suck at these, but here goes anyways:

1. Sun Kil Moon - "Lost Verses"
2. Okkervil River - "Lost Coastlines"
3. Breathe Owl Breathe - "Drop and Roll"
4. Laura Marling - "Failure"
5. Silver Jews - "Strange Victory, Strange Defeat"
6. Langhorne Slim - "Colette"
7. Noah and the Whale - "5 Years Time"
8. Okkervil River - "On Tour With Zykos"
9. Silver Jews - "Party Barge"
10. She & Him - "Got Me"
11. The Burning Hell - "The Second Cigarette"
13. The Mountain Goats - "Michael Myers Resplendent"

This looks like fun

2. Sigur Ros - Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
3. Born Ruffians - Hummingbird
4. Laura Marling - Failure
5. Wolf Parade - California Dreamer

And here I was waiting to post Son of Frankenstein's Mixtape and you come along and ruin everything three months early. I hate you.

Road To Somewhere is an excellent song, by the way. I would have no qualms about putting it on one of my own mixtapes.

Why wait? You can play now or play later - it's all good.

"Road to Somewhere" is good, but I really wanted to use "Happiness" instead...

Huh, I need to double check on tracklists before I figure this out. I'm sure I can come up with a good one...

1. "Time to Pretend" - MGMT
2. "Oxford Comma" - Vampire Weekend
3. "Joset of Nazareth's Blues" - Titus Andronicus
4. "Lightning Song" - Blood on the Wall
5. "Churches Under the Stairs" - BSS Presents Brendan Canning
6. "Transliterator" - Devotchka
7. "Fatalist Palmistry" - Why?
8. "Head Rolls Off" - Frightened Rabbit
9. "Re: Stacks" - Bon Iver
10. "Wicked Wanda" - SM & the Jicks

Great album, but it was a 2007 release was it not?

Good use of a track that has otherwise frustrated me all over.

Also, your signiture reminds me of an Aniversary song called "Sweet Marie". But with her, it's a "hole where her heart should be". It's a good song too, and on a fairly good pop album from several years ago too. What's your's from?

another hard and risked thing to do that would give me nightmares! :

1. The Field - Morning (sound of light ep)
2. My morning jacket - touch me im going to scream (evil urges)
3. Plants and Animals - Fearie dance (parc avenue)
4. Crystal Castles - magic spells (crystal castles)
5. Clark - violenl (turning dragon)
6. Miss Kittin - play me a tape (batbox)
7. Neon Neon - I lust you (stainless style)
8. Portishead - machine gun (third)
9. M83 - too late (saturdays = youth)
10. Mountain Goats - How to embrace a swamp creature (heretic Pride)
11. Kaki King - 2 O'clock (dreaming of revenge)
12. Ladytron - tomorrow (velocifero)
13. Atlas Sound - Ativan (let the blind...)

phew...i'll make another one not before a couple of months
