I made this incrediby despondent mix for the first day of my junior year of high school. that actually made it sound way more monumental than in actuality; I am worryingly apathetic about high school culture. and yet, I still manage to retain a sick fascination with it all. I swear, that was not as big of a contradiction as it looks. The mix was compiled they day of, sitting in a miserably cold airport terminal, as I flew back from New York ridiculously early in the morning.
anyway. it is on iTunes: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewIMix?id=191630824
if you are an imbecilic troglodyte and do not use iTunes, here is the playlist.
Haiti - The Arcade Fire The Drinks We Drank Last Night - Azure Ray Expectations - Belle & Sebastian Sunrise, Sunset - Bright Eyes The Bagman's Gambit - The Decemberists Needle In The Hay - Elliott Smith Communist Daughter - Neutral Milk Hotel Ode To Divorce - Regina Spektor Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley Fast Car - Xiu Xiu

There are better programs than iTunes, but I love your use of vocabulary. But that doesn't mean you can trump me as MOG Scrooge. ;)
BTW...college is way better than high school. And that period right after college? Even better. Gives you something to look forward to.

Bleech. Can't stand iTunes. Winamp is the better player, organizer, etc. If I hadn't just gotten a gift certificate from iTunes, I still wouldn't have it on any of my computers.

I have an incredibly tough time digesting Belle & Sebastian, but otherwise I am in favor of this mix.

Yup, I have iTunes 7, and it's a full-blown resource hog.

Looks like a few songs I need to check out, there. I love Elliott Smith and Regina Spektor, though - those are very solid songs from them.
Swozniak is right - college is much more interesting, real life even more so. High school is misery, but it's healther to laugh at it than to rail against it.
iTunes might be a bit of a resource hog, but I couldn't live without it. And I can still play WoW with maxed settings while iTunes runs in the background so it could be worse (G5 with 256MB vid card and 3GB RAM).

My Trusted MOGs

OK, apathetic but fascinated sounds exactly like high school to me. Not contradictory at all!
