I'm makin' a mix - Help!

tumblr_kr4gxetAd41qzg5t3o1_500

In a couple of days I will be leaving the internet behind to spend a week with some of my favourite people, celebrating the new year / "fuck you 2009" (as my friend Sophia put it. Soph, start your blog now please.) near Napier, and driving back to Wellington via Taupo. I can't wait!

Thing is, I've offered to make a mix CD / playlist for the road trip... but I'm a little stuck. Any recommendations as to what I should put on it? What songs have featured on the soundtrack to your summer road trip?

On the roadtrip to Hanmer we listened to: HEALTH's Get Color album, Ted & Francis' self-titled EP, Aeroplane's magnificent Mixmag mix, Fever Ray / The Knife medley, The xx's self-titled album, Teenager's album Thirteen, Spank Rock's Fabriclive mix, Familjen's album Det Snurrar I Min Skalle, Sally Shapiro's album My Guilty Pleasure, and Junior Boys' two albums

Aeroplane's Mixmag mix was thrashed again and again and still we went back for more - just excellent roadtrip music

Here's a link to it if you don't already have it (I'm sure I sent it out in one of my earlier music emails to you guys) http://www.mediafire.com/?rgnj3yjijmc

Enjoy!

Oh His Whoreness made a pretty good selection already, but here are some of my other favourites: anything Aeroplane, not just the mixmag mix // Washed Out // Miami Horror // Villa // the Cosmic Balearic Beats vol.1 & 2 CD (they're mixed by Villa)// Matt Van Schie // Mayer Hawthorne // Air France // Mighty Mouse // Bibio // Sebastien Tellier // Air // Classixx (listen to their Mayer Hawthorne remix - green eyed love, it's genius. // Breakbot // Friendly Fires // Passion Pit // Metronomy

Also, my sister's blog has some compilations called SSSSOUNDTRACK pt. 1-4, find them here: http://ssssound.blogspot.com/

And I could go on forever! Hope this helps, they all have that summer vibe you're looking for :)

Haha, Anon, don't worry I've already got that one on there. It's 'Let's go Surfing' by The Drums. A summery pop song if I ever heard one. Who are you? I'm trying to remember who I dragged onto the dancefloor when that song came on... SUPER fun times.

Jake, I forgot about HEALTH! Of course that has to go on there. Thank you for the aeroplane mix, I have already included some of his remixes on there, he's always a winner.

Stefanie, thank you for your suggestions, I will check them out. I only have one of Matt Van Schie's songs, do you know where I could get more? Your sisters blog is very cool.
