Here's my list so far: Superman-REM, Invincible-OkGo, Comic Book Heroes- The Tearjerkers, Nobody Loves the Hulk-The Traits, Ghost Rider-The Rollins Band, Jimmy Olsen's Blues- Spin Doctors, The Watchmen-3-D Invisibles, Challengers-New Pornographers, Dan Dare-Mekons, I Am Gonna Unmask the Batman-Sun Ra, Magneto and Titanium Man, Matter-Eater Lad-Guided by Voices.
Oooh! Adding those too Steph. I'm also going with some version of the Spiderman theme.
Great list! However:
Ghost Rider-The Rollins Band
I recommend you trade this for the Suicide version.
I haven't heard that one! I'll give it a listen.
Daisy, I'm trying to send Modesty Blaise by the Direct Hits and the Iron and Wine cover of "Waitin' for a Superman."
If my computer will oblige.
Oooh! Adding those too Steph.
Uh. I'm sorry to keep being so moronic, but -- which ones did you want of mine? All?
Daisy, do you have that one Crash Test Dummies song? If not, want it?
Sorry Tep! I meant Corwood, and then I was going to tell you I'd take them all. Not everything will end up on the mix, but if I end up with enough, I can make him another.
I think he'll be tickled that someone did anything for him. Usually he's the one doing favors-like kickass original artwork for a tattoo...uhm.
Sorry Tep! I meant Corwood, and then I was going to tell you I'd take them all.
Cool. I'll send them to Buffistarawk. Or do I have to send them to Buffistarawk2?
DJ, re songs that relate to comics, these may be way too obscure but my friend compiled a list of comics-related songs last year. Here:

ETA full disclosure: including a song of ours that mentions Love & Rockets
I thought I'd return the favor by putting together a comic book/superhero themed cd. Nothing to obscure or crazy, does anyone have ideas for songs? Being buffistas, I'm assuming you do.
DJ, how about Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down?
