The Longest Mixtape – 1000 Songs For You by Caribou

This is awesome, a mixture of classics and quite frankly rare, weird and wonderful music from the past, an education.

That’s my work listening sorted, thanks! Been a fan of Caribou since his first stuff came out as Manitoba. Should be a good listen – he’s got an ear for good/ obscure stuff.

Best listened too on shuffle, most of it is just mind blowing, I’ve been collecting records for years and not heard of some of these tunes, keep an open mind and enjoy.

That’s cool. You don’t need to be a fan of Caribou to enjoy that 🙂 (i find his stuff a little bit dull).
How do you put it on shuffle?

^ having said that, the first 4 tunes I’ve had come on are all things that I’ve listened to many times before, and heard him use live too… Not complaining, they’re great, but always enjoy the unexpected which will surely be not too far away.

[edit – shuffle button is up to the top right, under the title of the playlist]

A classic:

His essential mix last year was amazing, so will check this out, cheers.

Amazing PSA, good find!

Loads of proper stuff in there.

Always enjoy hearing a musician’s personal choices.

They Sound good … not really a fan of music but as background noise that is fine.

Most welcome, thank you Caribou. Big smiles to Paul Parrish English sparrow, spent a long time tracking down this ugly duckling sample. Was waiting for some Axelrod and its arrived, check out one hour glass by manfred Mann, on a little known album called chapter three, Arp life and cozy Powell, mad drums.

Thanks rewski, I am enjoying this mix a lot! 🙂
