Music for a fifteen year old

My little brother's always listened to the music I play and normally says whether he particularly likes something or not - generally I'd say he tends to be pretty good at spotting the same things as i like in music, so i thought I'd make him a cd.

He's recently been getting into skateboarding with his mates and was playing an indie skate video the other day. I nearly leapt out of my skin when I realised they were playing Beefheart, Pavement and a whole bunch of other decent shit on this video, so I decided to theme this comp around what I'd want to hear if I was a 15 year old skateboarder. Something fun, something funky, probably American-sounding, diverse, funny, silly in places, definitely hip or obscure (but not to the point where you fall off the ramp from the weird noises).

Anyway, so I blended the tracks best I could using Acid Pro to make it feel like more of a mix, cutting out some of the bits that go on too long and adding continuity to the bastard.

Here goes:

1. beastie boys - alright hear this
2. david holmes presents the free association - don't rhyme no mo
3. smashing pumpkins - tribute to johnny
3. chris morris & osymyso - bushwhacked
4. two lone swordsmen - brother foster through the phones
5. add n to (x) - metal fingers in my body
6. beach boys - catch a wave
7. bill wells octet - wiltz
8. pavement - motion suggests / false skorpion
9. the pioneers - na na hey hey (kiss him goodbye)
10. kyuss - supa scoopa and mighty scoop
11. bad manners - can can
12. mos def - jam on it
13. the cadets - stranded in the jungle
14. depeche mode - just can't get enough
15. nora dean - barbwire
16. perrey kingsley - space farmyard
17. sonic youth - mildred pierce
18. venetian snares - einstein rosen bridge
19. lloyd price - coconut woman
20. beastie boys - ricky's theme
21. aphrodites child - four horsemen
22. the silver jews - honk if you're lonely
23. the upsetters - untitled instrumental
24. nirvana - school
25. osymyso - fiver to bigwig
