I decided to make my wife some mixtapes after seeing Nick & Norah's infinite playlist.  As a music geek, I've made a couple before and they are pretty hard work.  I've also had some made for me.  It can be pretty fun.  I decided to go all out and make album covers for them, the first one I stole most of the artwork for (I can do some decent stuff if I can borrow enough from others) the other I used my horrendous drawing skills on.

1.  Frightened Rabbit - The Twist
2.  Ra Ra Riot - St. Peter's Day Festival
3.  Benjamin Diamond - Lights in the Sky
4.  Eef Barzelay - Make Another Tree
5.  The Morning Benders - Patient Patient
6.  MGMT - Kids
7.  Santogold - I'm a Lady
8.  Jurassic 5 - Brown Girl
9.  Peter Sarstedt - Where do you go to my lovely?
10.  Field Music - She Can Do What She Wants
11.  Elf Power - Quiver and Quake
12.  Margot & the Nuclear So & Sos - As Tall As Cliffs
13.  Laura Marling - Ghosts
14.  I'm From Barcelona - Paper Planes
15.  Say Hi To Your Mom - Spiders
16.  Starfucker - Holly
17.  Electric President - We Were Never Built to Last

2.  Blitzen Trapper - Lady on the Water
3.  Jose Gonzales - Heartbeats
4.  My Morning Jacket - Librarian
5.  Laura Veirs - Cast a Hook in Me
6.  Amber Rubarth - You Will Love This Song
7.  Blur - Sweet Song
8.  Aqualung - Something to Believe in
9.  Hellogoodbye - Oh, it is love
10.  Idlewild - Love Steals us from Loneliness
11.  Jenny Lewis - Trying My Best To Love You
12.  Maximo Park - Kiss You Better
13.  Ima Robot - Too Hearts Too Young
14.  O.A.R. - Love and Memories

Shuffle is a real man's mix.  Although I do enjoy my all Rush mixtape from time to time.  In all seriousness though I look forward to seeing what you've got.

Wife does not like Wolf Parade, confirmed.  Although I was going to try and slip it in if I could.

I'll have you know I did both covers in GIMP.  And it's not exactly like I need to do this all the time.  Burning second then I'm switching to windows to see if its built in Vista.

OK I'm ripping now, it will lose all the track names but you have the playlist here.  Also I was going to host it in my public dropbox folder unless someone has a better suggestion.

Why yes, Windows Media Player DOES do ripping by default. Tongue

And it's in WMA of course but I'm not even going to bother trying to fix it.  I put them in my dropbox folder so its syncing now.

Pass on them is brbu just as a precaution but most of these bands are unknown enough I think they care more about exposure.  Don't bother trying the links for an hour.

It doesn't suck as bad as you think. It can even include song titles and track info as well in the rip. Tongue
