Playlists & Music Mixing [halp!]

I don't remember if anyone friended me with the intention of seeing more music, but here goes:

It's so much easier on me to just make playlists without the downloadable parts. That is of course, the fun part, so with that in mind, let's realize that I will A.) Not have downloads for you this post, B.) Have downloadable mixes eventually, and C.) Some of them will be fanmixes.

So here's the mix of the day:

American Summer playlist

.oo Down in New Orleans - The Princess & the Frog Soundtrack

  1. California Girls - Tyga [Beachboys remix]*
  2. American Boy - Estelle ft. Kanye West
  3. California Love - 2pac
  4. New York Girls - Morningwood
  5. No Floods - Lady Gaga
  6. Summertime - Lena Horne
  7. Georgia on my Mind - Ray Charles
  8. California - Rufus Wainwright
  9. Don’t Stop Believing - Journey
  10. Los Angeles, I’m Yours - The Decemberists [live]
  11. Last of the American Girls/She’s a Rebel - American Idiot Cast
  12. North American Scum - LCD Soundsystem
  13. American Trash - INNERPARTYSYSTEM

Because #1 is a hard to find demo track that was originally released on a free Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance mixtape, it's available here. This mix could do with some serious re-arranging, and a lot of it is recycled from another "America" mix but I like it, and feel like it moves from pop-y to jazzy to rock/clubbing in a way that covers both coasts and all sorts of "Summer" in America.

If you're super in need of a fanmix with music to download as "preview" because you can only download music for 24 hours before the law states you have to delete it and purchase the damn thing...

Well, I made a Sukka (Sokka/Suki) Avatar Fanmix a looooong time ago called Comical. Unfortunately the best song on their got reduced to five seconds so to hear Hey Leonardo - Blessed Union of the souls, I suggest youtube. Hark! Marvel at the fact that sokka sounds just like that. xD

As an aside, I'm headed off to college next month, and one of the future fellow students I've been talking to has agreed to trade musical mixes with me. Theme: "Surprise me!" (could be ANYTHING so there's nothing to narrow it down), and limits: "No rap or country" which to be honest, frustrates me.

What's country? Are you saying "No" to Johnny Cash, or Garth brooks (agree there). No to Taylor Swift or no to Kenny Chesney? No to Lady Antebellum? I don't like country, but I worry if you can't take an "I walk the line"

That's not even bringing up rap. Is lil' john not your thing, or is it Kanye West that turns you off? Is Tupac too much, or are you only considering Snoop Dogg? Is Will Smith even in consideration? Does Spoken word bother you?

IDK IDK we got to talking over a mutual love of harry potter and A Very Potter Musical but now I need to come up with a playlist and make it perfect. So dear friends list: Help?
