All My Friends Mix No. 1

Some of the best times I’ve had with my friends happened in a 400 square foot box on Thompson Street. It was the meeting place for everyone and played host to birthday parties, graduation parties, going away parties, pre-parties of every kind, and even sporting events were watched there. One of the things that I really loved was playing music, whether everyone liked it or not, there were always a couple of fans in the crowd.

Unfortunately, said “box” doesn’t exist anymore, at least not as we all remember it. It sort of moved south and in the process gained some more breathing room. However, the music hasn’t stopped, which gets me to the point of this post. Borrowing the title from a LCD Soundsystem song or Land of Talk for you Lizzie Powell fans, I put together a mix simply for that purpose, for “all my friends.” Sounds kitschy, I know, but I think a lot of you will appreciate this and for other readers of this site that we don’t know feel free to download and enjoy.

Expect the second part of this mix in a couple of weeks – I have to clean up some space on my hard drive.

All My Friends Mix No. 1 (128kbps :: 35MB :: 38:14 :: stream above or DL)

1. Bjork “Earth Intruders (Spank Rock Remix)” – I have to admit that I’m not the biggest Bjork fan in the world, but this song kicks ass.
2. LCD Soundsystem “Get Innocuous!” – from the much acclaimed Sound of Silver this song builds and builds with a pounding beat.
3. Justice “Stress” – aptly titled track from the much anticipated † is sure to stress you out with its screeching violins.
4. Chromeo “Fancy Footwork (Guns‘n’Bombs Remix)” – I don’t think I’ve come across a Guns’n’Bombs remix I don’t like.
5. Yacht “See A Penny (Pick It Up)” – Yacht and his partner Khaela from The Blow really annoy the shit out of me, but hell if they don’t write some catchy tunes.
6. Klaxons “Gravity’s Rainbow (Soulwax Remix)” – posted this song on here a little while ago and still can’t get enough of it.
7. Joakim “I Wish You Were Gone” – read what I had to say about Joakim in my original post.
8. Gui Boratto “Hera” – Axel Willner aka The Field did a remix of this song for the Chromophobia remixes but I still like the original better.
