It’s pouring outside, but I’m staying dry in my warm room putting together a brief playlist for you guys before I venture back out under the crying sky. Taking a leaf out of High Fidelity protagonist Rob Fleming’s book, I’ve put a few restrictions on myself to make the mix more interesting: the track number in the mix must match the song’s track number on its original album. Here it is.
1. Bob Dylan, Rainy Day Woman #12 & 35 (track 1 on Blonde on Blonde)
2. Feist, I Feel It All (track 2 on The Reminder)
3. The Mountain Goats, Historiography (track 3 on Transmissions to Horace)
4. Wilco, Sky Blue Sky (track 4 on Sky Blue Sky)
5. Paul Westerberg, Bern for Me (track 5 on Suicaine Gratification)
6. Beck, See Water (track 6 on One Foot in the Grave)
I can’t upload the files here because they are too big, but I’ve added the first four (I couldn’t find #5 and 6, but I recommend you go out in search of them yourself) onto my playlist at The Hype Machine. You can listen here. Happy Rainy Wednesday!
