btw, here's a more detailed impression of the mix disc jake made (he did post the track list at some point so you know what I'm talking about, right?)...
the first track (31knots) rules; it's the one I always find running through my head at weird times. "tall tales", telltales" is pretty good, enough so that i stole a cursive album, and I actually like a few of the mp3s on the album better than this particular track. the Karate and Logh tracks are decent, but not among my faves on the mix. i like the low track.
The Luxury song is REALLY good, and I've never heard ANYTHING else by them. so I'm on the hunt for luxury mp3s now. the mogwai song is dece. I like "magazine", which I haven't heard before, but again, there are other Pedro the Lion songs I like better. I'd never heard of the Poor Rich Ones, but "High Flyer" is pretty fucking phat. I have heard the Sigur Ros track before, but I never realised I liked it so much until it was in the context of this mix.
starflyer 59's "next time around" is kinda blah. not offensive or anything, but it hasn't really grabbed me at all. the timeout drawer song is kinda neat, which paves the way for...
THE BEACH BOYS. and yes, now i see how you guys can defend them even in light of BE TRUE TO YOUR SCHOOL-type songs; "God Only Knows" is quite good.
all in all, i like the mix a lot, so whoever gets paired with jake next trade, you scored a rabbit's foot!
