The Essential Mix.

OK here is the deal. You have just survived a nuclear explosion, and need to go out and see if there is any civilization still left. Just go with it, alright? Specifics are irrelevant. But after you've grabbed your shades, clean underwear, toothbrush, a couple of your favourite T-shirts, the unknown mass you made in 3rd grade art class that you still bear some sentimental attachment for, and the cat, you realize you have room for only your portable CD player and your 10 fave discs. That's it. Nothing else. So, what're ya gonna have to listen to, possibly until you die??

Here's my personal picks...
Dandy Warhols - Dandys Rule, OK?
Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish.
Air - Moon Safari.
Velvet Goldmine soundtrack.
Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space.
Travis - Good Feeling.
