If there was ever a song that required a mix to be made around it, that song would be Blake Leyh's "The Fall". I may just end all my mixes with that song.
Also-- Mogwai covering Pixies, the song that inspired the robot dance (a video worth watching), Jerry Lee Lewis pulling a Marty McFly at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance and blowing the backing band away, and of course, more Pulp.

Here we go. Repeats are due to the fact that I mostly just listen to what my friends send me rapidshare links to. And they find good shit on rapidshare.
Star Guitar - Shinichi Osawa ft. Au Revoir Simone - A cover of an electronic song. Love that concept. Better than the original.
Simon Says - Pharaohe Monch - Remember when Kavinsky dropped this bomb before Daft Punk went on? DO YOU?
Do You Remember the First Time - Pulp - Dan, remember when we heard this song playing you put this song on the jukebox in the bar? Then you put it on your mix for which I give you thanks. This shit has been on loop ever since
Please Sunrise - Supermayer - A gem on an otherwise strangely shitty superstar album
Atlas - Battles
Barry Bonds - Kanye West ft. Lil Wayne - I don't understand this song. Like, at all. But now that Bonds has been indicted it's been imbued with some kind of horribly abstract meaning (more than before). Anything Weezy cannot foresee?
Pony - Ginuwine
Trust - Prince
Can't Hurt My Style - Cam'ron - Cam goes grime and it's awesome
Come Undone - Duran Duran - Thanks Andy D
When the Sun Grows on Your Tongue - Black Moth Super Rainbow - Horrible album title, horrible song title, horrible band name. Love this song.
Breezin' - Cornelius
I'm So Tired - The Beatles
Ruler of My Heart - Irma Thomas - McNulty reminded me how good this song is
Stars - Hum - This shit is in some Nissan commercial or something. Thanks Nissan for bringing it back.

This lazily thrown together and poorly ordered mix is in honor of the diligent “Why Not CMS” comment spammer that we get on this site every once in a while.
I needed to purge some music I’ve been sitting on for much too long before I drop a dope mix I’ve been working on (see what I did there? Create some early hype).
