Part I of my Buzznet mixtape

Here's a link to my mixtape that I made for whatever exchange Boz et al are doing.  It's only Part I---I was going through songs alphabetically and stopped early, so stay tuned for a Part II.  I've been thinking about doing something like this for when I move to Idaho.  Like a really lame on-demand radio station.  Anyway, these are all songs that I am psyched to hear if they come up on my shuffle on my Creative Zen.  I turn these up to 11.

1. AC Newman-Miracle Drug.  Frontman for The New Pornographers.
2. AA Bondy-Mightiest of Guns.  I could listen to him sing anything.  Acoustic with great lyrics.
3. Antony & The Johnsons- The Cripple and the Starfish.  I love his voice, you might not.  It may be an acquired taste.
4. Atlanta Rhythm Section- So Into You.  How can you not want to get busy with this on??
5. Augie March- One Crowded Hour.  Okay, seriously.  You must listen to this one.
6. Black 47- Funky Ceili (Bridie's Song).  Celtic rock band from New York.  Apparently this one was on high rotation on MTV for a while, but I don't watch TV so cut me a break.
7. Bob Dylan- Mississippi.  My favorite Dylan song to sing along to.
8. Bobby Bare- Don't Think Twice.  Whatever era he fits into, I pretend I live there sometimes. 
9. Britt Daniel- Bring it On Home (Sam Cooke cover). A great cover of a great song.  Britt Daniel of Spoon (had to get some Portland flavor in).
10. Clem Snide- Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Your Grievances.  A sweet cover of a Daniel Johnston song.
11. Easy Star All-Stars- Karma Police (Radiohead cover).  This reggae band covers Pink Floyd, Radiohead etc.  I like.
12. Elvis Perkins- While You Were Sleeping.  Son of Anthony Perkins from Psycho!  He can really sing.
13. Fleetwood Mac- What Makes You Think You're the One.  My feelings on Fleetwood Mac are mixed but this one gets to me.
14. Four Year Bender- New Orleans Lament.  I like everything I've heard from these guys. 
15. Gipsy Kings- Aven, Aven.  Opening track from their album Roots.  Who doesn't love the Gipsy Kings?!
16. Horse Feathers- Hardwood Pews.  Another local Portland band.  I heart these guys big time.  3-piece band.
17. Hot Chip- Sexual Healing (Remix).  Another Get Busy song.  Turn it up!
18. Iron & Wine- The Devil Never Sleeps.  Everybody bitching, “There’s nothing on the radio"
19. Jim James & Calexico- Goin to Acapulco.  Wish I was going...
20. Josh Ritter- Bandits.  I like this one and it makes me laugh--double bonus.
21. Kanye West- School Spirit.  I am pretty ambivalent about Kanye, except for this one. 
22. Soulsavers-Revival.  I was listening this on the way to take the GRE.  I think studying would have helped more.
23. The Eels- It's a Motherfucker.  For when you have to say goodbye.
