So last week I told everyone that I was looking for a little help making a new mix CD for my wife to listen to. I asked the readers of this here blog to give suggestions and send in some songs. Well, the response was more than I expected (apologies to everyone who's songs didn't make it) and what I ended up with is a damn fine collection of reader-submitted tunes for her to listen to. Take a look and a have a listen. (Contributers are listed in italics)

Awesome mix. Your wife is a lucky woman. =]
Great idea E. Glad I was able to make the cut. Happy listening to you and your wife.
Best.
So it helped! :)
Have a wonderful time listening to the mixtape (and even while not).
The Sad Pandas
Bueno mixes! Glad to see that "Ashes" made it. Again, that guitar outro is smokin'.
thanks everyone! i'm stoked to hear my new mixes!
Way to represent, bloggers. Now, Eric, if you can find (a) the bootleg of the Jeff Tweedy solo show at the Abbey Pub last night, please send me the link. Actually, if ANYONE knows where it can be found please point me in the right direction. I was there and I want to score a copy. There were at least three people taping it. Thanks in advance.
Yay -- I'm happy that 2 songs made the cut! Hope your wife enjoys the mix :)
Thanks to everyone that submitted songs for the mix. Even if I didn't use them they are appreciated!
Jacob - I'm on it.
Girlfriend in a coma!!!!
