Cry Me a River - JT and Beautiful - Christina will always be linked to Ireland with me now because of this.

Oh, yes. And a number of other songs. Including "Scandalous" by Mis-Teeq. Which is finally catching on in the U.S.

Lilty Cash - "Wipeout." Now I'm gonna have that percussion in my head the rest of the afternoon.

tina f.! Have you seen this Winfield film? Jamming in The Grove - including SLR, PoDank and Wilders. Now I'm all homesick.

SA, Steph, meara! (and any other Melissa Ferrick fans) A woman who works in my building was at the Borders gig in Chicago. She recorded it and is willing to share. Email me at profile addy if interested.

As usual, I'm posting and running. Stoopid work.

Possum Kingdom - The Toadies

msbelle, yes! I love the Toadies.

Garbage, "Get Busy with the Fizzy."

That's all that comes to mind right now, but -- oh!

Ash, "Walking Barefoot" and "Pacific Palisades." And "Coasting," if you can find it.

Oh, Christ, of course: Emm Gryner, "Summerlong."

Eddie from Ohio, "Cantering on Fool."

Weezer, "Island in the Sun."

(I'm pulling songs from the Island Paradise mix I made for someone once, which I think was the first mix CD I ever made.)

Urge, "Jump Right In."

Sprung Monkey, "Get 'Em Outta Here."

Len, "Steal My Sunshine."

Porno for Pyros, "Tahitian Moon."

I am actually going to see pt. 1 tonight at a free screening.

Now I'm all homesick.

Don't despair, katefate. It is only 3 months away!!! I'm going for 6 days this year and I will cry if I think about how excited I am about it.

Tina, it's not too mixable generally, but "Handshake Drugs" would work anywhere.

Noted. Thanks.

Also congrats on your Decemberists tickets - I wish they would come here.

On the protopunk, punk, and post-punk side, I'd recommend the following for summer mixes:

• Ramones - "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" or "California Sun"
• Buzzcocks - "Everybody's Happy Nowadays"
• Stooges - "Loose"
• Clash - "Julie's Been Working For The Drug Squad"
• The Damned - "Neat Neat Neat"
• The Slits - "Shoplifting"
• Wire - "Mannequin"
• Raincoats - "Fairytale In the Supermarket"
• Minutemen - "The Glory of Man" or "It's Expected I'm Gone"
• Camper Van Beethoven - "Ambiguity Song" or "We Saw Jerry's Daughter"
• The Feelies - "Crazy Rhythms"
• The Replacements - "Kiss Me On the Bus"
• Husker Du - "Celebrated Summer"
• Yo La Tengo - "Little Honda"

I should stop because I could probably go on for another hour.

I wish they would, too. The Long Winters are opening. We were just talking about them, right?

Buzzcocks - "Everybody's Happy Nowadays"

Did they become Revolting after or before?

No, its all good! iTunes is going to looooove me!

Yup. And then Alicia mentioned they were on her Buffista Mix and then I got her Buffista mix the next day and got to listen to them. It all worked out nicely. But it would be nicer if I got to see them. Who skips Lawrence? Then again, I might have missed them.

Did they become Revolting after or before?

Revolting Cocks is a whole 'nother band, with all the revulsion and none of the buzz.
