Hey again,
Well I sent the CD out just now and It should be to you shortly. I put 16 songs on it and hope everyone enjoys it.
There is a wide variety of genres of music on the CD so hopefully everyone will have a couple of songs that they like. I realize by doing that that some of the songs wont appeal to some; such as the two contemporary bluegrass tunes I put on. Anyway, this CD is pretty much my favorite song from each of the bands I am currently listening to right now.
I hope that you can dig some instrumentals because there are a total of four instrumental songs on the CD (some a little different). Sometimes you have to give those a little time and they will grow on you but its good stuff anyway.
I couldn't exactly theme my mix like Joey did but I did try to make it flow as much as possible, which pretty much meant I attempted to make the transitions from song to song as smooth as possible. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it and leave me some comments about what you think.
Russell

schwiggity schwaeg.
I haven't received or listened to the CD yet, but here are my initial impressions.
First of all, I didn't realize that you liked Enya that much. I mean, I guess they're good for relaxing with a nice white wine spritzer while you peruse the latest edition of US Weekly, but they kind of bring down the energy of the album.
I can actually hear your hair on this CD, scary.
While I understand that your inclusion of instrumental tracks is meant to make you seem sophisticated, an instrumental version of "My Humps" doesn't quite mesh with that ideal.
I like the Des Champs band as much as the next guy, but eight tracks? Seriously?
I can tell from some of these tracks that you own the CD "Monster Ballads", can you make me a copy? (Because every badboy has his soft side!)
I hope you don't take this critical appraisal too roughly. I did enjoy some of the tracks (I can't listen to "Desperado" without thinking of all the CP slowdances I enjoyed as a youth).
Now to make some brief thought on CD:
I thoroughly enjoyed "Garden State Soundtrack Vol. 2"
I said to Courtney, "Who knew that Russell was this hip?"
It's great, I really enjoyed most of the tracks. Good work.
some brief description of my response:
great ordering
nice flow
good mixture of artists that are fairly popular and ones that hyped me on account of not knowing them.
mail this to zack braff.
loved this...made my day in the middle of a poopy week--yes, i said poopy
i'm overly attached to We are the Sleepy Heads...and the spoons are always super. they make me think back to the old school OC days....miss that. sujan stevens is always wonderful--great song of theirs
all in all, super job russell. now come to spartanburg so we can eat taco dog and listen to the cd together
[please insert some remark recognized only by those closest to Russell which probably makes everyone feel all warm and nostalgic inside]
From an outsider - i no doubt liked the mix.
great job. especially the forewarned instrumental bluegrass tracks. With fall comin... that hit my sweet spot
