So this isn’t really a mix. It’s more like a mix tape — minus the tape. We’ll call it curating.
The story: odopod is having a holiday party next week. I was asked by one of the partners, Jacquie Moss, to put together about an hour of music for the dinner-portion of the event. I asked her if there were any specific qualities I should look out for. Her reply:
Conversational. Upbeat, but low-key. Ambient. Interesting. Lovely.
So, here’s my stab at meeting that request: Download Mike Creighton’s Odopod Holiday Mix.
And for those of you that are curious about the playlist, here it is:
- Khonnor - Rooms
- DNTEL - (This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan [Barbara Morgenstern Remix]
- Herrmann & Kleine - Shuttle
- múm - awake on a train
- Solvent - When the Sun Hits
- Air - Mike Mills
- Sondre Lerche - Stupid Memory
- John C. Kelley - surfs up
- Broken Social Scene - Looks Just Like the Sun
- Modest Mouse - Gravity Rides Everything
- Matmos - For the Trees
- Cornelius - Brazil
- Boards of Canada - Satellite Anthem Icarus
- Skanfrom - Here She Comes
- Herrmann & Kleine - Leaving You Behind
- Thom Yorke - Atoms For Peace
- Ulrich Schnauss - Wherever You Are
Did I do okay?

Mmmm, yes, I think so.
Perhaps a little bit too lovely for my taste, but definitely great in the background-but-interesting side.
