Quick. A co-worker asks you to slap together your favs of the year mix for a weekend roadtrip. You gotta fit 20 tracks and burn the CD in 15 minutes. What'll it be? Not necessarily your critical top 20 - just shit stuff sounds good. I'm sure I'm brain-farting on some great tracks, but an actual one I did just now:

The Arcade Fire - No Cars Go
Editors - Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors
Interpol - The Heinrich Maneuver
Shout Out Louds - Tonight I Have To Leave It
The Mary Onettes - Henry
LCD Soundsystem - North American Scum
Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby
The Fratellis - Flathead
Foo Fighters - Band On The Run
The Shins - Phantom Limb
Maps - So Low So High
British Sea Power - Down On The Ground
Brakes - Mobile Communication
The Cinematics - Race To The City
Against Me! - Thrash Unreal
Artic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent
The Coral - Who's Gonna Find Me
The Bees - Left Foot Stepdown
The Decemberists - Think About Me
Metric - White Gold

I'm a little crushed in retrospect about the cookie-cutter run of LCD-Kaiser-Fratellis. Oh well.
