Summer concert mix

so i'm getting annoyingly excited about lollapalooza; believe me i havent been this excited about anything in ages. It is kinda freaking my friends out...ahh the joys of getting myself off medication...I did grow up to be (relatively) stable after all, surprise, surprise (hey i even grew up). Plus it is renewed excitment as last week it looked like i couldn't go, but then i realized i was actually really upset about it and got my surgery moved to a different date. Its amazing how the most liberating day of my life was the day that i realized i was the only one who could come to my rescue. That was two years ago this week and now I am happy, all on my own, and drug free.
...man, i need to stop reading confessional blogs and memoirs, sorry. I say sorry too much, i should stop that, i'm always apologizing for nothing, sorry ;)

ANYway...i made a little mix for lollapalooza:

1. Gold digger- Kayne West
2. Tell Me Baby- Red Hot Chili Peppers (my cursed band, i've been trying to see them since 7th grade and something always goes wrong)
3. Combat Rock- Sleater-Kinney (tear...this is one of their last shows)
4. Shores of California- The Dresden Dolls
5. Secret Heart- Feist
6. Falling- Ben Kweller
7. So Says I- The Shins
8. In a Future Age- Wilco (this is like my family's band, we all love them....and Johnny Cash)
9. I need Some Sleep- Eels (this is from the shrek 2 soundtrack, which is a surprisingly decent album, for real)
10. Do Ya realize- The Flaming Lips
11. Naked as we came- Iron and Wine (remember when the l word played more than Betty)
12. Wonderwall- Ryan Adams (covering oasis..who were at my first concert)
13. The Sound of Settling- Death Cab for Cutie
14. Blankest Year- Nada Surf ( i love this band)
15. Twin Falls- Built to Spill
16. Twin cinemas- The New Pornographers
17. Fraud in the 80's- Mates of State
18. Crazy- Gnarls Barkley (imo the best summer pop song since hey ya)
19. Kiss Off- Violent Femmes (playing opposite S-K, so i wont see them, but i've seen them 5 times and they always end with this *they do a lot of free midwestern concerts*)
20. Steady, as she goes- The Raconteurs
21. Cause = time- Broken Social Scene (longish song...)

I have discovered that I really like making music mixes, it gives me something to do while S. is napping. I'll probably make some more...
