Death or Glory

There’s nothing better than driving with the windows down on a nice day with the music blaring.
Yesterday I made a mixed cd for my car and it’s a great summer playlist.

Here are the tracks:
Matt Costa – Mr. Pitiful
Sublime – What I got
Nofx – Bob
Kings of Leon – Sex on fire
Third Eye Blind – Jumper
Rise Against – Hero of War
Gob – Soda
Goldfinger – I need to know
Unwritten Law – Cailen
Lagwagon – Brown eyed girl
Joel Plaskett Emergency – Work it out
Good Riddance – Always
Tegan and Sara – Fix you up
Mary J. Blige – Love is all we need
Adele – Chasing Pavement
Bob Marley – Is this love
Rancid doing nofx – Stickin’ in my eye
Saves the day – I melt with you
Catch 22 – American Pie
Mighty Mighty Bosstones – So sad to say

There are a few personal rules I have regarding mixed tapes.
1. You can’t have the same artist twice. I kind of bended the rules a bit for this one because I had Nofx and Rancid doing Nofx, but more on why that’s okay later.
2. Any summer mix must include Rancid, Bob Marley and Sublime
3. Genre-specific mixes suck. It’s not a mix unless you mix things up.
4. The more covers, the better.
5. Be prepared for sing-a-longs.

In keeping in my rules, I had to put a Rancid song on the cd… however, after getting my computer wiped I haven’t uploaded all of my cds yet. When I made the mix yesterday, the only Rancid cd I had on this computer was my Rancid/Nofx split album where they covered one another’s songs.

This has since been fixed; I now have all of Rancid’s albums on my computer, including the new one!

Expect many more mixes and posts about them. I’ll be driving a lot because of work and my radio doesn’t work.
