MeFi Swap

I’ve participated in the MeFi CD Swap at metafilter for as long as I can remember. It’s old school fun and I always get a bunch of really great new music I’d have probably never have heard otherwise.

This year I chose not to include a track listing with the CDs I mailed to my five other swappers. (If you already know all the tracks on a mix CD, what fun is it?) The CDs I received from everyone else all did include track listings, though, and I suppose it’s not fair to keep the details secret from them.

Here are the tracks I included on my mix this year:

1. The Raiders March — Williams, John
2. California Dreamin’ (The Mama’s En The Papa’s) — Scala & Kolacny Brothers
3. Some Like It Hot — Club Des Belugas

5. Sam’s Town — Killers, The
6. The Horizon Is a Beltway — Low Anthem, The
7. Desolation Row — My Chemical Romance
8. Surrender — Cheap Trick

10. Two Way Action — Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire
11. From a Buick 6 — Dylan, Bob
