This mix is dedicated to my dear friend Shannan. She requested some "new" music, so I put together a little something from the tunes I've been listening to lately. Obviously, some of these tracks are hardly new, but I mostly tried to put together songs that would be new to Shannan's ears. Since she first introduced me to CAN, I figured I'd return the favor by turning her on to Kendra Smith's version of "She Brings the Rain", and well, what can I say about Wreckless Eric?!? As you can see, I've peppered the mix with some classics that I hope she will enjoy as much as I do.
Shannan tends to like her music a bit on the sour side (to balance out my sweet tooth), but she's also a sucker for a good harmony (The Beatles, The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, Elliott Smith's XO). She is a fan of West African and Brazilian music, and a former student of Afro-Haitian dance, so I tried to appeal to her tastes by consciously choosing tracks with interesting rhythms and instrumentation. I have a feeling this will be right up her alley.

...also really liked Holly Golightly, Cafe Tacvba, The Breeders - and, of course, Fanfare Ciocarlia and the Wreckless Eric classic. your frie-nd Shannon must be en-joying this a-plenty!
I love this mix. Now imagine that sentence was written using all caps and three exclamation points. That's how much I love this mix. Times two even.
Underwater Bubble Pop has to be one of the finest mix titles I've seen. The mix itself is ruddy great too. Love 7 & 9 - both new to me and really fab..
