This mix is efficient so I can be lazy. Actually, my "lazy" these days is watching 30 Rock on Netflix with a box of Ritz crackers and a tub of cream cheese. In my pajamas. If I were cool like Liz Lemon, I would have a Slanket and sing "Working on my NIGHT CHEESE!" (Seriously, this show is genius.)
My phone has a genius app--Shazam. If you don't have this app and you are a music lover, I highly recommend it. It captures a song you hear and tells you the artist and the album. It is fairly good. I think the only time it could not capture a song for me is when I was listening to yet-to-be-released Avi Buffalo on the radio. Otherwise it will ferret out the answer, no matter how obscure.
MIX: Shazam! Playlist

"Stillness is the New Move" by Dirty Projectors (at the Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros concert)
"Tennessee River" by Alabama (in the car on the way to the in-laws. This tag was to settle a dispute between the husband. Doesn't he know after 10 years he shouldn't spar with me when it comes to music?)

"Las Vegas Turnaround" by Hall & Oates (car. This was after I heard the song and thought, 'This sounds like Hall & Oates. I wonder if it is Hall & Oates?')
"Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster The People (on an episode of the BBC's Sherlock. Great show by the way.)
Boom Boom Pow! I tried to make a playlist on Deezer, but they don't have any arcade fire! Oh well.
ReplyDelete...whaaa? again?
ReplyDeleteYou will have to be more clear Travis on what exactly you mean by "again?" ;)
ReplyDelete...oh, i meant to comment on another post. the one where you talk about being inseminated.
ReplyDeleteas for this post; what do the lazy masses do with this 'mixtape'? i'm going to need an actual tape. what am i supposed to do with a mixlist?
Oh, I wasn't inseminated. I got knocked up the old fashioned way.
ReplyDeleteThe mixlist is so the lazy masses seek out new music. If I provided an actual tape for you, I would just be perpetuating further laziness. ;)
inseminated is the old fashion way. otherwise i would have to slap an 'artificially' in front of it.
ReplyDeletewell well, my memory was always quite randomly selective, and never really that great. but if i had ever given you a mixtape, it was most definitely an audio medium of some type and not just a list.
the more important issue is: what is so wrong with perpetuating my laziness?
Travis, if I don't say it enough, I really love you. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you want a mixtape? On an old cassette? Now you are making me get out of my laziness. Damn!
