We just did our first shoot as a group!  It was super fun.  We’re figuring out which shots to post – I love a lot of them.  I made a mix for the shoot, which is something I rarely do.  I’m too lazy for playlists, and my iTunes library is usually too weird for other people to enjoy.  I mostly stream Swedish radio while I work/all the time, so I joke that mine is the taste of a 12 year old Swede.

For this occasion, I managed to put together a few blog bands and some canon tracks.  It worked out pretty well.  Maybe it did b/c it neutralized the biggest potential source of conflict: me.  I might as well admit that I’m probably the only one in this band who’d walk out of a room if an unsuitable song were to play.  I leave movies, too.  But hey!  We’re here for music, photos, fun times.

The whole playlist is like 4.5 hrs.  Here’s a zip with select tracks:

• The Jesus & Mary Chain – “Far Gone and Out”/Far Gone and Out
• The Flaming Lips – “Borderline”/7″ w/ The Black Keys
• Small Black – “Bad Lover”/Small Black
• R.E.M. – “Pop Song 89″/Green
• Air – “Sexy Boy”/Moon Safari
• The Big Pink – “Velvet”/Velvet
• The Beatles – “I Am the Walrus”/Love
• The xx – “Infinity”/XX
• Islands – “Heartbeat”/Vapours
• Sally Shapiro – “Love in July”/My Guilty Pleasure
• The Stone Roses – “Waterfall”/The Stone Roses
• Memory Tapes – “Stop Talking”/Seek Magic
• Delorean – “Deli (Acid Girls Remix)”

I didn’t write this post to say I’m anything but a pretty shitty DJ with one recorded moment of passable music choices.
