Sure, it’s been awhile, but one might say I’ve had my hands full. I got the itch to put together another set for you guys, so I hope you enjoy this one.
I make no promises that I’ll do this with any regularity. That way, every time I make one you’ll just be so excited and thankful that it’s there. Something like that.
Brian’s Mix Tape #3 [34.8mb / aac]
I listed all the tracks below, along with links to where you can get them. Please buy the music, unless it’s already free. Except where indicated, I linked to the albums at the Amazon MP3 store.
- MGMT - Time to Pretend
- Magnetic Fields - I Need a New Heart
- Sigur Rós - Innà mér syngur vitleysingur
- Nico - These Days
- Stereolab - Long Life Love (This one’s off a 3 disc set, if you’re looking for this one track, check #6 on disc 3)
- The Submarines - Peace and Hate
- The Books - take time
- El Ten Eleven - I Like Van Halen Because My Sister Says They Are Cool (Some of their stuff is on Amazon MP3 but this particular album I only found on their site.)
- Bill Mallonee and Vigilantes of Love - Solar System
I enjoy making these, so I plan to keep it up. Let me know if you have any feedback, thoughts, or just if you enjoyed it. I’d appreciate it.

Oooh, thanks! Just a quick browser weirdness thing: Safari always tags the download as an .mp3, causing it to not play. Adding “AddType audio/mp4 .m4a” to your .htaccess (or mime.types if you have access) might fix it?

@ManxStef thanks for the tip! I changed where I’m hosting the mixtape files. That must have been the problem. All better now though.

That’s a fine list sir! I have everything up to track 5. Question: have you tried muxtape.com?
§ By Alan Houser at 2:35pm on August 07 2008
Did you see the iPhone commercial with the Submarines in it? It seemed odd to me that they used an instrumental version of the song - especially since the lyrics fit in with all their other happy hip commercial songs.

All apologies! For realz.
I suggested muxtape before hearing your excellent presentation with intro & what-what. Your MGMT version is different than mine. I have the one from the “21 Soundtrack”. Whee.

No worries mate. Yep, I’ve seen and fiddled w/ muxtape a bit. A lot of my files are not mp3, so I’d have to convert over to that, and I kinda enjoy doing the intro/outro too, so there’s that.
§ By Brian Warren at 6:18pm on August 07 2008
Thanks for putting that together Brian. Great collection, enjoyed listening. Nice touch with the intro and outro too, made it more personal than your average Muxtape.
Look forward to the next one.
