wow, ten spot jump for Uruguay?

lol, during that webcast I was actually shuffling through my playlist of 'candidate' songs for the mix. I had no idea at the time that I would end up drawing you.

I'm a guy. :wiseguy: If I'm to take my last post seriously...I guess a guy, no matter how mature, cannot evolve to mandom before reaching level (age) 21 or so...

How you refer to someone usually comes down to their behavior. I typically refer to males of my age as 'guys' as opposed to 'boys' and 'men'. Boys typically become guys somewhere past the age of 17/18, but when or if a 'guy' becomes a 'man' comes down to maturity.

generalizing 'best player' gets extremely messy. I would say he's certainly the smartest QB in the NFL, and one of the best QB's of all time.

btw, I 100% guarantee my mystery mixer a review tomorrow. I've listened to it twice, but it's just too late for me to start typing it all up tonight. Hang tight!

:blush: It's pretty much the smoothest song I could find. It's called "London in February" by Coastal: a really soft, soporific slowcore band. My strategy was to alternate between short, ambient pieces and more upbeat rock tracks. "The Birth and Death of the Day" by Explosions in the Sky, one of the more accessible post-rock bands. I adore these guys, if you liked this track, definitely check out one of their albums. You guessed right. His voice is sort of unique, so I get how it can be a turn off. The track is called "If you're Feeling Sinister" off the album of the same name. "Horizon Variations" by Max Richter. He makes a lot of contemporary neo-classical music. The album its off of ("The Blue Notebooks") intersperses quotes from Kafka throughout some of the tracks. I'm so glad you liked it :D. It's "Raising Your Voice...Trying to Stop an Echo" by Hammock, a post-rock duo from my home state. Their music consists mostly of ambient instrumentals, but this is one track where they really take off. "Tommib" by Squarepusher. It's not really meant to be a highlight so much as a nice instrumental bridge into the next track. I'll admit I stole it from the scene in 'Lost In Translation' where Charlotte is staring out over the city from her hotel window. Right after I sent my mix in, my only concern was whether I should've chosen a different song by Fictionist. Nonetheless, they're a really great band, this one is called "Set Me On Fire" off of the album "Invisible Hand". No doubt by now you've pinned my musical taste to a T :P. This was an interesting one though. It's technically by Jon Hopkins, but it's a remix of a simple piano track called "Small Memory" that sounds absolutely nothing like his previous work. I chose a lot of 'obvious' bands like The National, The Shins, Jonsi etc. on this mix. I was initially going to replace them after I saw the size of your band library on last.fm, but I went ahead after seeing they weren't on the list. I knew you'd recognize them, but at least you wouldn't be sick of them by the time you heard them on my mix. This song is my current fave off of High Violet, "Lemonworld" (but you already knew that from the chorus). I was initially going to have a Tim Hecker track here but I kept falling back on the songs I thought you'd enjoy more. I felt that this particular track was a decent compromise because of the way it sort of disintegrates near the end. I'm glad you liked it. "The Light" by The Album Leaf. Probably not their best track, but I was determined not to repeat a bunch of songs from my last mix, and I'm oddly endeared to this one. It's a little on the safe side, but I rather put someone to sleep than annoy them. You're welcome! :wacky: Another song I stole from Lost In Translation, "Alone In Kyoto" by Air. I thought you'd like it, I love all the little textures they implement. "Machine Gun" by Slowdive. I'm a sucker for shoegaze and I really like the sound of the vocals in this one. I was slightly afraid it might get boring after the first chorus, so again I'm very happy that you liked it. Another Filler, and an excuse to throw in another of two Eluvium tracks. This was called "Hymn #1". I forgot how much I loved this song before I decided to to add it to the mix. "I Have Loved You Wrong" by The Swell Season. I was probably more eager to share this track than any other. It's "All The Sails" by Eluvium off of his E.P. "When I Live by the Garden and the Sea". At the very least I thought it would be an interesting experience. If I could, I would've made this a 'hidden track'. I must confess I was partially motivated to end with this song because my name is shouted a couple times in the intro, and I thought it would be a cute way of revealing who made the tape...Oh, and it's "San Solomon" by Balmorhea. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it! I'm also very curious if I was the person you suspected. :P here's the tracklist: 1. "London in February" by Coastal ('Halfway to You') 2. "The Birth and Death of the Day" by Explosions In The Sky ('All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone') 3. "If You're Feeling Sinister" by Belle & Sebastian ('If You're Feeling Sinister') 4. "Horizon Variations" by Max Richter ('The Blue Notebooks') 5. "Raising Your Voice...Trying to Stop an Echo" by Hammock ('Raising Your Voice...Trying to Stop an Echo') 6. "Tommib" by Squarepusher ('Go Plastic') 7. "Set Me On Fire" by Fictionist ('Invisible Hand') 8. "Small Memory (Tuning Remix)" by Jon Hopkins ('Seven Gulps of Air E.P.') 9. "Lemonworld" by The National ('High Violet') 10. "Grow Till Tall" by Jonsi ('Go') 11. "The Light" by The Album Leaf ('Into The Blue Again') 12. "Sleeping Lessons" by The Shins ('Wincing The Night Away') 13. "Alone In Kyoto" by Air off of ('Talkie Walkie') 14. "Machine Gun" by Slowdive off of ('Souvlaki') 15. "Hymn #1" by Eluvium ('Copia') 16. "I Have Loved You Wrong" by The Swell Season ( 'Strict Joy') 17. "All the Sails" by Eluvium ('When I Live by the Garden and the Sea') 18. "San Solomon" by Balmorhea ('Rivers Arms') http://rapidshare.com/files/40627838...ummer_2010.zip

.

I pray to one god you're not really this dense.

might be a day or two before I have the time to fully review.

I don't feel like switching back my flag. :(

Being trapped in a cardboard box while listening to all-american rejects on loop for eternity while rats come and eat my spleen out everyday is slightly worse imho.

OMG! and I just saw Sneijder frown...What a douchebag!!

I wanna run out on that field and hand Robben a coke.

fuck.

like the very last world cup? There've been a handful of others as well.
