Unthemed tape: momentum

The general idea behind this tape was to use instrumentals to generate excitement and energy and then to let the following vocal tracks sort of gradually slow things down until the tape just coasted to a stop. It was also an opportunity to use both "Giving Up The Gun" and "It's Thunder And It's Lightning," which are two songs that recently grabbed me.

Also, watch the transition between tracks 10 and 11 - of all of them, that's the most drastic change. If it works, I'm not totally sure why.

1. Meeting Of Important People - Pretzel Rod Blues
2. The Contrast - Caught In A Trap
3. R.E.M. - Star 69
4. stellastarr* - Tokyo Sky
5. Phoenix - 1901
6. Vampire Weekend - Giving Up The Gun
7. Mosquitos - 27 Degrees
8. The Pillows - Tokyo Zombie (The Knock Came At Dead Of Night)
9. The Weakerthans - Relative Surplus Value
10. We Were Promised Jetpacks - It's Thunder And It's Lightning
11. The Avett Brothers - And It Spread
12. Nickel Creek - Scotch And Chocolate
13. Elliott Smith - Tomorrow Tomorrow
14. Nick Drake - From The Morning
