I made a mix for a friend that is going through chemo right now. Since she has been fighting this cancer for a couple of years and because she is really racaous (i.e. partying and not slowing down), I tried to put together something up-tempo/rocky peppered with a few melodic tracks. Song choices are purely random but I did select a number of songs that change tempo a couple of times within the song which shakes things back and forth a bit, I suppose. Anyway...

1. Arctic Monkeys – From the Ritz to the Rubble
2. Fruit Bats – Lives of Crime
3. Viva Voce – Alive with Pleasure
4. Midlake – Roller Skate (Farewell, June)
5. Faraway Places – Marvelous Error
6. Apples in Stereo – The Benefits of Lying With Your Friends
7. Aqueduct – Post-rock and Slightly Seasoned
8. Joggers – Era Prison
9. Cat Power – He War
10. Wolf Parade – You are a Runner and I am my Father’s Son
11. The New Shapes – A Song About a Girl
12. A.C. Newman – Miracle Drug
13. Of Montreal – Lysergic Bliss
14. Ambulance LTD – Anecdote
15. Bill Ricchini – Cold Comfort
16. Sufjan Stevens – Man of Metropolis
17. Stephen Malkmus – Baby C’mon
18. Rick Bain – Welcome to My Daydream
19. Spoon – The Way We Get By
20. Brian Jonestown Massacre – Oh Lord
