the English are waiting, and I don’t know what to do
November is well and truly underway. Time to turn my attention to the “2010” playlist that’s been growing quietly in my iTunes sidebar for eleven months, and decide what this year’s mix CD is going to sound like.
I’ve had to be fairly stern with myself to make room for bands that don’t include any members of the Mountain Goats. Fifty minutes of music I’ve loved this year could easily be filled entirely by a roster like this:
- The Mountain Goats
- The Extra Glenns
- The Extra Lens
- Peter Peter Hughes
- Diskothi-Q
- Superchunk
I haven’t actually been obsessed with any Diskothi-Q songs, but I was still pretty pleased with the random single I got for $3.
Maybe I should just make a bonus disc and be done with it.
