Making an intro Wilco mix for a friend - please help!


Recommended Posts

I've actually thought about this a lot. One thing I've always maintained was that it's neccesary to throw in some more challenging material. Don't just play it safe (hummingbird, shot in the arm, jesus etc., heavy metal drummer, monday, etc.). I am Trying To Break Your Heart, Sunken Treasure, Misunderstood, include one of those three.

 

Ultimately, though, I think that just burning her a Wilco LP is probably the best way to introduce her to the band. YHF, obviously, is the masterpiece, so yeah. Good luck with this.
