Making a mix CD for a girl that likes \"Indie\"
Someone asked me to do this a few months ago and I completely forgot. Not that it matters now. But she likes Modest Mouse and the Sun Kil Moon stuff I played, I cant remember much else. Anyway, the point of this is I had no idea what I would actually throw onto a cd. Something like that what follows below. Suggestions, comments?
Air - Run British Sea Power - A Lovely Day Tomorrow American Analog Set - Know by heart Arcade Fire - Wake up Beta band - Broken Up a Ding Dong Bloc Party - So here we are Blonde redhead - misery is a butterfly Bright Eyes - to love and to be loved Built to spill - else cursive - the recluse death cab - title and registration / movie script ending / we looked like giants (unsure here) decemberisits - july, july desparecidos - man and wife , the latter (damaged goods) killers - all these things that ive done modest mouse - gravity rides everything pinback - penelope pixies - debaser promise ring - red and blue jeans raveonettes - love in a trashcan razorlight - vice shins - kissing the lipless strokes - ? sunny day real estate - every shining time you arrive wrens - hopeless white stripes - ? yo la tengo - ? zolof the rock & roll destroyer - i owe you

Re: Making a mix CD for a girl that likes \"Indie\"
Kings of Convenience (ty IndieMatty) are very good. It took me like 2 weeks to start liking them but now I can't stop listening to them. My favorite song is "I'd Rather Dance." I actually don't know if that's it's title though because it messed up when I dl'ed it.
Also, don't know if they count as indie but Flaming Lips and Elliott Smith are my 2 favorite bands/artists right now.

Good Built to Spill choice, such a good song. Where you have question marks, for the strokes I'd throw in Hard to Explain, for White Stripes I'd put Air Near My Fingers, but I'm not a huge White Stripes fan, and for yo la tengo, I'd go with Let's Save Tony Orlando's House, but that's an impulsive pick, there are better songs. Also, throw in Ted Leo & The Pharmacists and Pavement, just because I think Ted Leo and Stephen Malkmus are two big front men on the "indie" scene.

Re: Making a mix CD for a girl that likes \"Indie\"
Define "Indie." Some of those bands you listed might not fit into some defininitons of "Indie." Also it is important as to what your relationship is with this girl. Regardless, due to your list below some my think Wilco goes along with this definition of Indie. They did a great cover of the Woody Guthrie song "California Star." Great tune to throw on a CD for a girl.

Re: Making a mix CD for a girl that likes \"Indie\"
This is a very good mix. Especially Penelope. But seriously, all of it. Good work.
Replying to threads like this really makes me hate my friggin spur of the moment screename. So trite. Edit: Dang. Promise Ring. Ok, I got an add. Mix it up with Deftones (or Jonahs version) Be Quiet and Drive also maybe a Jets To Brazil song instead of old Conor(something off of ORD) Maybe a Broken Social Scene song, Backyards off of BeeHives. Edit 2: AWESOME SUNNY DAY SONG.

I'll fill them in. Strokes - Is This It or Under Control White Stripes - Truth Doesn't Make A Noise or Offend in Every Way Yo La Tengo - This Band Sucks or Remove From This Otherwise Great Lineup
