One of my favorite Cohen Brothers flicks.

The last time I was in the city this pizza place somewhere around Tribeca had a painting of the Kennedy brothers hanging in it and the style was very similar to this. I never found out who that artist was and now I’m curious if it was the same person who did this.
Mix Update
Well, tumblrs, the mix is down.

Anyway, here’s the low down:
1. Metric - Gold Guns Girls
2. Patto - The Man
3. Kennedy - Karate
4. The Centurians - Bullwinkle Part II
5. The Band - Acadian Driftwood
6. Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
7. A Place to Bury Strangers - Keep Slipping Away (Cereal Spiller Remix)
8. Cat Power - Metal Heart
9. The Treasures - Hold Me Tight
10. Iron and Wine - Love Vigilantes
11. The Brian Jonestown Massacre - The Ballad of Jim Jones
12. The Beach Boys - Wouldn’t It Be Nice
13. Sune Rose Wagner - Din Mund
Notes:
The Treasures track is a rare recording from Phil Spector’s ‘Wall of Sound’ era. The ‘band’ never released anything else aside from this, although an unrelated project that Spector produced called ‘Bonnie and The Treasures’ did share similar instrumentalists. Anyhow, it’s a lovely doo-wop cover of a relatively unsuccessful Beatles track. Dig it.
The Iron and Wine track is actually a cover of one of my favorite New Order songs. I just discovered it recently and thought it was very good, and since most of you probably don’t enjoy 80’s synth pop bands as much as I do, I elected to include the cover rather than the original.
The Sune Rose Wagner track is entirely in Danish. Wagner is the lead singer and songwriter of The Raveonettes. This track is from his only solo album (which is also entirely in Danish). All I know is that the title means ‘Your Mouth’ and that the song is hauntingly beautiful, despite the fact that I don’t know what the lyrics mean.
Also, if you happen to burn this to a disc, make sure to add a two second gap between each track. It flows much better that way.
