Wake Up Bomb

by halfo on Jun. 2, 2008, under music, weekly mix

Sometimes, the iPod plays the mixes, but sometimes the iPod makes them.

Today, for example. I woke up, but just barely; my eyes were still fogged with sleep as I headed out the door. Caffeine, even in unhealthy doses, was completely ineffective. I ran the risk of running my car off the road if something was not done fast.

But then, in a startling signal of its sentience, my iPod provided me with the perfect crack in the coffee mix. It’s shared on muxtape for the next few days:

  1. Spoon – Everything Hits at Once
  2. Ra Ra Riot – Dying is Fine
  3. Frightened Rabbit – The Twist
  4. Alone at 3AM – Takes the Pain Away
  5. R.E.M. – Supernatural Superserious
  6. Jawbreaker – I Love You So Much It’s Killing Us Both
  7. Eels – I Want to Protect You
  8. Ryan Adams – So Alive

Nothing better on a Monday morning than turning into the parking lot at work to the sound of Ryan Adams crooning about being alive.
