I am one of those people that like to make mix CDs. I enjoy marking the music that resonates with me during certain stages in my life. I usually get a theme in mind and the music just flows. Right now I am excited that one of my good friends (James Dinsmore) is moving back south. He and his wife Jen have been living in Madison, Wisconsin for the past four years, and they are moving to Atlanta this week. I’m excited he is going to be at least a reasonable car ride away.
I’m about five songs short of completing the mix. Here is what I got so far
1. Homecoming Kanye and Chris Martin
2. Over my Head The Fray
3. Going On Gnarls Barkley
4. Well Thought Out Twinkles Silver Sun Pickups
5. I’m Amazed My Morning Jacket
6. Islands on the Coast Band of Horses
7. Reckoner Radiohead
8. Put It on Me Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals
9. The Pretender Foo Fighters
10. A-Punk Vampire Weekend
11. Emblems Matt Pond PA
12. Read My Mind Killers
13. Mississippi JJ Grey and Mofro
14. Jesus Etc. Wilco
15. Jigsaw Falling Into Place Radiohead
What am I missing? Help me out here. I need exposure to new music.

I’m extremely excited as well Larry. I especially can’t wait to get the packing over with!! It’s been pretty surreal this week. I do so many things and I’m like, that’s the last time I’ll do that here. It’s also weird to work so closely with people/kids and think that I will probably never see some of them again.
Anyway, the mix looks amazing as always. I’m very out-of-touch with music these days. I’ve become a podcast addict.

What podcasts would you recommend?

I love Brian Tome from Crossroads church in Cincinnati. The fermi stuff is interesting. I’ve listened to several from Andy Stanley at Northpoint and enjoyed them. Our current pastor Tom Flaherty at Mad City Church and our former pastor Shane Holden at Damascus Road church are both great.
For technology stuff…Leo Laporte the Tech Guy!

I’m so glad you follow the at least 20 songs rule. Excellent choice with Radiohead by the way.

sadiesadie, I didn’t know there was a 20 song rule. I use the how many songs fit on an audio CD rule. Thanks for the feedback. What else would you add?
