I'm doing an alternative/indie mix for a friend of mine. She mainly listens to pop like Kelly Clarkson and pop-punk stuff. These are the songs I have on there so far:


In the not final order:

1. Sufjan Stevens - Come on! Feel The Illinoise
2. The Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)
3. Belle and Sebastian - Seeing Other People
4. Death Cab For Cutie - The New Year
5. Kings of Convenience - Homesick
6. The Magic Numbers - Forever Lost
7. Metric - Combat Baby
8. The Radio Dept. - 1995
9. Razorlight - Stumble and Fall
10. Stars - Ageless Beauty
11. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Biomusicology
12. TV On The Radio - Ambulance
13. Bloc Party - This Modern Love
14. Morphine - Buena

I haven't filled the cd at all yet. Some of the songs I'm thinking of chucking on there:

The Music - Getaway
The Strokes - 12:51
Massive Attack - Teardrop
The Flaming Lips - Fight Test
The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Tonight
Broken Social Scene - Almost Crimes

If you guys could tell me songs I should add, songs I should take off and any other suggestions, I'd be happy.

Nope.

Wow, that's no good.

Actually it's great.

Well I guess it is if you like whatever you listen to.
