Anybody? Hopefully.

Your two days early, spring starts March 20, 17:23 GMT. Be patient ;)

True. Though I had to get my mix made to debut with all of the nice weather that is finally happening! Mostly was wondering if anyone else assembled anything in anticipation as well, or if they had an idea of what they are excited to listen to during the nice weather, or if they had past mixes or albums or artists that became staples for springtime.

wanna upload those songs into a zip file for us meek mortals?

I'll work on that! Won't be able to until tomorrow or tonight late.

alright, thanks man

that is a lot of good spring music. spring came early this year!

Yes it did! And thanks!

See if this link works Lorax:

You'll have to put the tracks in the order above. Enjoy!

Let me know what you think.

I'm keeping this alive until people want to talk to me about spring music. I'm craving a lot of this at the moment. Any early Guided By Voices material also seems to be doing the trick for me now that its getting nicer. They always seemed like a band that should be played during middle-class suburban backyard barbecues. You know, lots of fresh air and soda.

I will download it as soon as I can get back to my computer... meanwhile I've been looking for songs for an alternative mix cd I plan on making

Upload it when you're all finished!

Nice! I'll check it out.

More mixes please!

Anybody want to share/talk about this yet?

Blown A Wish - MBV

Thats a good one. In the same vein I usually play as much early Lilys material as I can in the Spring. "Periscope" is a winner right now. "Claire Hates Me," "Eskimo," and anything off of the Brief History EP are winners.

So do people want to start conversing and sharing (more) yet?

Listen to Folkrockish Mix 2 first - I dedicate it to CindyLouHoos (it has a spring mix feel I suppose)

So do people want to start conversing and sharing (more) yet?
― Evan, Monday, April 12, 2010 4:36 AM (2 weeks ago)

I owe to you to listen to your mix again and converse about it

I haven't gathered enough songs for my Alternative mix yet though

I quickly made a mix of fun upbeat music since all my other mixes lean more towards dreamy and I need some music for excercising. ILXors should recognize at least half these songs. I didn't shoot for obscure stuff here

Fun Mix (79:40 192kbps)

1. Sleater-Kinney - Get Up
2. Quasi - Out Happiness Is Guaranteed
3. Milf - Sell Out (supposed to be on my obscure alternative music mix which isn't finished)
4. Roisin Murphy - Sow Into You
5. Can - I'm So Green
6. The Smiths - This Charming Man
7. Modest Mouse - Paper Thin Walls
8. Weezer - Jamie
9. Red Red Meat - Ball
10. Bjork - Triumph of the Heart (lets give Medulla some props for once)
11. The Flaming Lips - This Here Giraffe
12. Paul McCartney - Monkberry Moon Delight
13. Pixies - Hey
14. Nirvana - Lounge Act
15. The Grifters - Skin Man Palace
16. Lizzy Mercier Descloux - No Golden Throat
17. Led Zeppelin - The Crunge
18. Karate - With Age
19. The Walkmen - The Rat
20. Placebo - Special K
21. Modest Mouse - A Different City
22. Built To Spill - Car
23. Brian Wilson - Vega-Tables

Oh wow sorry I didn't even see this until now! Thanks for posting!!

I'll try to make an obscure mix inspired by your inclusion of Milf on there.

Or mostly obscure... I can't resist the occasional Tobin Sprout (or whatever) song.

I have your mix downloaded and in a playlist.. I just need to play it again

Oh great! I hope you enjoy it! I promise to deliver an obscure mix at some point though as well. Also need to hear yours.

apparently it's the season. maybe I'll make Folkrockish Mix 4

Oh yes, I've been lazy about it. I'll see if I can get something together!

Apparently I forgot about that obscure mix plan. Oops!
