C90: Put these tracks in a coherent order

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I'm making a couple of CDs for a journey, and although I've selected the songs, I'd like some interpretations of which way round they all go. I'm terrible at sequencing. Also I've broken the "one artist, one track" rule, which is a big step away from rockism for me.

Here they are:

Felix Da Housecat - Harlot
LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge
The Music - The Truth Is No Words
Ikara Colt - One Note
Le Tigre - Deceptacon
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Pin
Goldfrapp - Yes Sir I Can Boogie
Adult. - Hand To Phone
Vitalic - La Rock 01 (I hope - see this)
Chicks On Speed - Fashion Rules (Alter Ego Mix)
Mommy & Daddy - Beachy
The Rapture - House Of The Jealous Lovers
Adult. - Blank Eyed, Nose Bleed
Felix Da Housecat - Rocket Ride
LCD Soundsystem - Yeah

Thoughts?

Start off with "Yeah" and "Yes Sir I Can Boogie" yo. And put "Pin" very last.

(I always arrange mixes from beginning-and-end tracks towards the middle "eye of the storm" track. Maybe it's a bad habit.)

I like the idea of Pin last. I tend to figure out a good starting point and try and work forwards, so maybe trying your method will increase my success.

To make me happy, you should forget the mix and just make a mashup of "Losing My Edge" and "House of Jealous Lovers."

Btw, I start with the end tracks and work in, too, but I like that idea of the "eye of the storm" track. Which track is that here? "The Truth Is No Words"?

I was considering either "Hand To Phone" or "La Rock 01", their repetitive nature lends them to a kind of suspense, which would fit nicely I think.

How would the mashup work?

First things first; take The frickin' Music off that cd and stop tarnishing the rest of the great tunes with their shitty sub-zeppelin brush.

Why do I keep getting this feeling that I'm the only one who likes the Music?

I hear the mashup starting with the HJL intro then "I'm Losing My Edge" right before the cowbell comes in and again before the guitar. The vocals could be "House of (I was there) Jealous Lovers! (when...)" I don't know -- just off the top of my head.
