A Four Letter Word For…

This mix is about… our anniversary, maybe? Er…

Why It’s Pretentious: Sometimes I look back at mixes that I made for people and notice little subconscious things. Like, I probably should have known that including a song with the line “What do you mean I don’t love you? I am standing here, aren’t I?” on an anniversary tape meant the relationship was a little strained. (Or that when he didn’t appreciate Klaxons covering Justin Timberlake, it was definitely not mean to be.) I don’t listen to this mix much because that incidental foreshadowing is a bit strange to hear, but I do think it’s a sweet little jumble of songs. Makes me smile.

Tracklisting, downloads, and bonus quote after the jump.

The Fox and the Hound

This mix is by devincastro and is about The Fox and the Hound.

Why it’s Pretentious: This mix is about The Fox and the Hound. You guys. Just download it right now. Oh, that’s not enough, you scoff? 1. Obviously you don’t understand irony and I have taught you nothing. 2. Let me throw some names at you: The Shins. DeVotchKa. Regina Spektor. The Weepies. Mumford & Sons. Explosions in the Sky. Panda Bear. Beach House. This is what we call a high-school/present-day crossover and this is what we call a stellar mix. Also, Disney movies. Or Disney films, rather.

The songs of your youth.

Correction: the songs of your youth that you weren't cool enough to know about.
