"Happy Birthday, Darling"

Father got an iPod for Father's Day. It seems as though this will be his first mix. So, here it is, a birthday mix for Father. The goal was to get songs that he loves, or that I think he will love. There is a combination between newer things (see 8) and older (see 6). Considering this is his 48th birthday, why not include music from throughout the past and recent years, as opposed to just new or just old?

To download 4 or 10, Right Click, then Save Target As...

1. Bright Eyes- At The Bottom of Everything
2. Belle & Sebastian - The Stars od Track and Field
3. Damien Rice- Delicate
4. Bright Eyes - Entry Way Song (live in Seattle)
5. Bob Dylan - Mr. Tambourine Man
6. Buddy Holly - Everyday
7. Don McLean - American Pie
8. Feist - Mushaboom (Live at El Mocambo) (Thanks to All Things Feist, download it there)
9. The Beatles - Hey Jude
10. Iron & Wine and Calexico - Wild Horses (Live @ KEXP)
11. Azure Ray - November
12. Iron & Wine and Calexico - Dead Man's Will
13. Bright Eyes - Make War

Considering those two are live tracks, you can't buy them on an officially released album, but you can go to the Saddle Creek site. The next post should have an Eric Bachmann theme, or Eric Bachmann & Cursive (08.22.06).

Dad's birthday present from me was Neil Young's Heart of Gold DVD. We saw the movie in theaters, and both loved it. We both listened to Neil Young around this age. It was a good memory between the two of us. It seemed like a good present.

I also won an eBay item. It's a Bright Eyes one-sided 7" Promo from 2005. It apparently has When The President Talks To God on it. I also bought Sufjan Stevens' The Avalanche, and enjoyed it to such alarge degree that I bought two more copies for friends (welcome homes). I also got Sarah Harmer's Im' a Mountain. Dad and I gave it a good listen and approved.
