Making a mixtape to impress a girl
Yes, I'm that sad
I need some help though
This is what I've got so far (I'm trying to keep it happy and light-ish, and both impress her with my fabulous music taste whilst not scaring her off with cheesy-ness or Mark E Smith. Here Comes Your Man is not allowed for the former reason):
Blister In The Sun - Violent Femmes
Venus In Furs - Velvets (that's quite pervy but meh)
Roots Manuva - Witness The Fitness
Ween - Push Th’ Little Daisies
Eels - I Like Birds
Devendra Banhart - At The Hop
Rufus Wainwright - Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk
Pavement - Cut Your Hair (or Range Life, I'm not sure if she's a Smashing Pumpkins fan so I don't want to offend her...)
I'm thinking you guys can help.

In all seriousness though, I'd go for Rufus Wainwright's 'Vibrate' over the track you've chosen. Chuck in My Bloody Valentine - 'Sometimes' though and I'm yours.

Bluetones - Autophilia
Brendan Benson - Tiny Spark
something by flaming lips
Help She Can't Swim - I Don't Need You (I have no idea why, but its ace)
Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart (because I love to drop one awful cheesebomb in every compilation I make)
Fell City Girl - Weaker Light
If you're going to suggest that my selections are the reason I didn't get any, try harder! That's too obvious!

But yes, it's still sad.

Actually, a Prayer to God would be a particularly inspired choice! :-D
Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl
You should add in You're Just a Baby- B&S or Carrion BSP.
I Like Birds is good, you'd win me with the one, especially if she's never heard it.
Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl
A bit of Super Furry Animals might be good too. 'Hello Sunshine' is good for the 'you're a minger, i'm a minger too' bit. Whether that would go down well I don't know. 'Northern Lites' maybe?
Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl
i think your subconscious in selecting the tracks here.
fact is, if you do start going out with her, she'll wonder why you listen to the fall so much when it wasn't on her mixtape.
Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl
'She's a girl' by The Attraction
'Hey baby' by Chia Pet
'In every dream home a heartache' by Roxy Music
surely if you're a Fall fan then 'Bill Is Dead' should be on there
and maybe 'Love in the Country' by Vanilla Fudge if you met in the countryside
-
'Permafrost' by Magazine*
*if you want her to think you're psychotic - main lyric;'I will drug you and fuck you/on the permafrost' - oh hell yeah

Witness the Fitness is amusing, Dreamy Days starts out alright but it ends up about the destruction of a relationship ffs doesn't it? It's the worst possible song I could pick! Though I did think about it.
'I like birds' is cute.
True about the Ween creepiness, but I think I'll keep it.
Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl
and surely if you actually want her to listen to it, y'know, in public, and when other people could, y'know,. overhear what she's listening to - you'd wanna leave the vanilla fudge out?
but hey, respect for even suggesting vanilla fudge dude.

Pretty Girls Make Graves: This is our emergency
Cat Power: He War
Scout Niblett: Up town top ranking
Sleater Kinney: All hands on the bad one
The Raveonette's - Love in a Trashcan

Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl
i dunno, all i remember is the line "there's gonna be fun and lots of laaaarfter". and that it's quite sweet, overall. not listened to the album in a while.
ok, in case i'm wrong, try mogwai's 'take me somewhere nice', or radiohead's 'optimistic'. or weezer's 'falling for you'.

Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl
"the one I love" is probably a good choice.It is not his best song but its so catchy its unreal.
Some Peaches would be great too,depending on how easily she is shocked too." fuck the pain away" is a good tune.

Eels and Rufus is a great idea, but perhaps Crumb by Crumb or Oh What a World.
