Not gonna lie, but when I first viewed your playlist, the first thing that came to mind was, this is B&C's greatest hits, or something to that effect. And for some strange reason, it put a sour taste in my mouth, although I can't explain why. Perhaps it was the familiarity of it all, as I've heard most of these songs before.
But then I listened...
Loved the start, and then going into Kayne and Autre Ne Veut. I like certain Phantogram songs but not that whole album; this is one of the better tracks.
Never really cared for Flying Lotus or The Antlers, but the tracks surrounding them are all great. Hell, you even included Mute Math from back in the day. Great stuff. And then a fantastic stretch from God Is An Astronaut to Dum Dum Girls, one of the best parts to this.
I've indicated not liking Nick Cave previously, but this track was interesting and kept my attention, which is a plus. The Tim Hecker cut was one of the few on here I didn't know, but man, that was beautiful.
Probably my favorite Broken Bells song - nice choice. Followed by Destroyer, it went well, even if I'm in the minority with his stuff.
Haim's Edge should have been on the regular album, in place of one of the weaker tracks in the latter half of that record (i.e., My Song 5). And what a trifecta to end with, even if I'm still a bit annoyed that U2 didn't give The Troubles a better fade out.
I thought the transitions were very well done, really no compaints there.
My only nitpick, and it's minor, would have been the inclusion of some older songs. I think some classics would have fit in well with the theme presented here and given this just a bit more variety in terms of eras represented.
But again, not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I think this is probably the best playlist you've ever put together. Well done.
