In the summer of 2005, a friend of mine made a mix CD that she called "Ahh... The Ramdidity of Life!". It had a random assortment of stuff she had pilfered: Napoleon Dynamite sound bytes, songs about Canada, versions of Scotland the Brave, Raffi, TV theme songs from the '80s and early '90s and Something Corporate songs. In order to make this summer equally as good as summer 2005 (which I owe partly to The Ramdidity), I have made this compilation which, with my friends permission, may become the first Ramdidity of summer 2007. I have included all the elements of the first one: annoying theme songs, horrible songs I can't stand, good songs, random and weird songs, songs from movies and some old classics from summer 2005. Enjoy the monstrosity.

The background is the same as The Summer CD, but I wanted to make one that was I bit more lighthearted and updated-- and something my friends' parents wouldn't get angry about. This mix has a lot of stuff I found last summer (not through Xanga, praise Jesus!), found in various ways. It has a lot more Swedish stuff and some more Death Cab. It's NOT listed in the order it was found, but is more categorised by subject matter and sound.

Stick History is a local band. I saw them perform at a coffee shop last Spring and they are amazing. I think their Myspace is at http://www.myspace.com/stickhistory. At least I think that's it. I'm too lazy to check.
