The "I Can't Even Begin to Make a Good Mix Today" Mix

The New Map

1. NOFX - Perfect Government
2. Bad Religion - Do What You Want
3. Propagandhi - Hate, Myth, Muscle, Etiquette
4. Strung Out - Firecracker
5. Cake - Take It All Away
6. Haywood - I'm All About Democracy (demo)
7. Mission Of Burma - Academy Fight Song
8. Minutemen - This Ain't No Picnic
9. Propagandhi - Middle Finger Response
10. The Ataris - Heaven is Falling
11. NOFX - The Decline

This is a somewhat political mix of mostly new school punk rock songs to listen to on what -- for me-- is a day a mourning. A lot of these songs come from my past, which is a comfort. I know a lot of us are drowning ourselves in music to help try and absorb what it is that happened yesterday. So this was more a excerise for me than for anyone else. I particularly like the last track -- NOFX's 18-minute epic that races through several genres and themes, touching on just about everything wrong with our country right now. I threw in some old standbys just for fun. I hope you don't hate it.

later.

mark.

Hey, I'm from Hawaii. How come we don't fit in on your map?

Don't blame us. We voted for Kerry.

Yeah, I agree - that last track is absolutely awesome. The whole thing is great. Nice job, Mark.

i would absolutely kill for the whole ted pauly demo. absolutely KILL. Haywood might be my favorite band, and i know somebody on this site has it, because you keep teasing us with tracks.

Just because you're disappointed in the election result is no reason to inflict Propagandhi on us, Mark.
