froggie Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 looks good, but they did have an album called AM with some nice tunes on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leo Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Don't rely on a mix tape to tell her how you feel. Just TELL HER --- BEFORE she goes.Having said that, make sure you include One By One. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Basil II Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 No love for "Cars Can't Escape"???? -arguably, my favorite Wilco song on so many levels...... -robert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lovenmercy Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 This is proving to be an exciting challenge. A little background: She's not too familiar with Wilco, and I'm taking her to the Count Basie show. Possibly Merriweather, too. We're driving in her car and she tells me she's never really heard them. So I told her I'd make her a mix tape! She laughed and jokingly told me it had to be an actual tape (no Cd's or ipod mixes). So that's what I'm going to do. I dug up a secret stash of Maxell XLII's at my parent's house and am going to make the world's first Wilco "ipod playlist --> cassette tape" mix. She's not my girlfriend, but I love her and we've had a thing going here or there for the past year. She's moving to Arizona this summer which is exciting and heart-wrenching all at the same time. Somehow I want to say it all in the perfect Wilco mix tape. With the perfect old high-school-era baring of the soul mix tape nuances, but still as light and fun as our relationship has been with each other. I've begun some serious work on it, but I'm open to any suggestions. I've decided not to limit it to just Wilco, but include a little Tweedy, Uncle Tupelo, Golden Smog, etc. Each side 45 minutes, with an opener & closer that leads into the next side of the tape. Hopefully the kind of tape that you stick on in your car and listen to over and over as it flips from side to side driving across the country. I'd love to hear some suggestions before I post the work in progress. Oh, that is sooooo sweet! I'm sorry this is a late response, but it is coming from the opposite end of a similar story. My fiancee had feelings for me before I did for him, but I think the Wilco/Tweedy mix he made for me made me fall for Wilco AND him. His mix was perfect...

mpolak21 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Ok, so months later and I'm almost ready to give this mix to her. A few updates - we went to the Red Bank show and I figured out some of the songs she likes. Two, she does actually want a CD now, so it's scaled back to one 75-minute 'side'. Three, she is now my girlfriend. Still, she leaves for Arizona next week and I want to give her the CD before she leaves. So the mix I ultimately decided to make isn't a start-to-finish lovefest, but I think is a nice balance. Here's what I have so far, critique away: You Are My FaceHandshake DrugsForget the FlowersHummingbirdI'm Always in LoveNothing'severgonnastandinmyway (Again)Remember the Mountain BedKameraJesus, Etc.She's A JarI'm the Man Who Loves YouWishful ThinkingHate it HereNew MadridCompany in My BackPieholden SuiteWhen You Wake Up Feeling OldSomeday Some Morning SometimeMagazine Called Sunset Good stuff, I can personally vouch for On and On and On it works I won't tell you that story here, but trust me get that on there. Reservations is also brilliant. I love the song She's A Jar, but you have to be careful with one as the ending can be interpreted many different ways. Other than that, good work and good luck my friend. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
