Whilst taking a break from writing my term paper I put together a little CD for my dad. I’ll bring it to him when I’m back in Nova Scotia in a couple of weeks.

1. Barry Louis Polisar . “All I Want Is You”
2. Black Keys . “Keep Me”
3. Phosphorescent . “Aw Come Aw Wry”
4. Neko Case . “Poor Ellen Smith”
5. Track A Tiger . “Sound As Ever”
6. Pixies . “Here Comes Your Man”
7. Long Winters . “Cinnamon”
8. Cat Power . “Song To Bobby”
9. Avett Brothers . “Go To Sleep”
10. Great Lake Swimmers . “Put There By The Land”
11. Arthur & Yu . “1000 Words”
12. Carrie Biell . “Don’t You Blame Me”
13. Tallest Man On Earth . “Walk The Line”
14. Band Of Horses . “Lamb On The Lam”
15. Bonnie Prince Billy . “Master And Everyone”
16. Blue Mountain . “Banks Of The Pontchartrain”
17. Jose Gonzalez . “Heartbeats”
18. Camera Obscura . “Razzle Dazzle Rose”

As with CDs I’ve made for him before, I expect him to love some and hate others. The Pixies and Camera Obscura might be wishful thinking, I grant you, but he’ll dig the Barry Louis Polisar…which happens to be the title song from Juno, so he’ll be cool without even knowing it.
