Mixtape: In a Safe Place

Here is We Hate Your Hate's very first mixtape, for April 2006. The theme is 'In a Safe Place', which is blatently stolen from the title of an Album Leaf album. Speaking of The Album Leaf, they kick off this mixtape.

In a Safe Place
April 30th, 2006
Mixtape by Sheila
Theme: Safe
Format: all in mp3

01. The Album Leaf - Over the Pond
Is there anything more soothing then The Album Leaf? The album is titled 'In a Safe Place' for a reason, you know. Quite possibly the only music that can soothe a savage beast.
02. American Analog Set - Know By Heart
This is one of those songs that cannot be explained, just must be experienced.
03. Broken Social Scene - Love and Mathematics
With 'Feel Good Lost', Broken Social Scene created an album for the senses. This song, to me, sticks out as being something special. Maybe I'm just crazy, but this song seems safe.
04. The Most Serene Republic - Relative's Eyes
The lyrics to this song do not fit in with our safe theme, but... it belongs here anyways. Deal with it.
05. Plus Minus - No One Sees You Like I Do
I couldn't not put this song on here. It fits on so many levels, but it doesn't on so many other ones.
06. Augustana - California's Burning
One could argue this song should not be on here. So go ahead, and argue.
07. Beulah - Don't Forget to Breathe
The lyrics might not exactly fit perfectly, but as a whole the song seems to almost work.
08. The Flaming Lips - Waitin' for a Superman
Everyone's waiting for a superman, for someone to come along and save them.
09. Paperface - Darkside
A song of dedication.
10. Sigur Ros - Glosoli
If there is anything more soothing then the Album Leaf, it's definately Sigur Ros. Their latest, 'Takk', is absoultely magical.
11. Air - Playground Love (Vibraphone version)
Anyone who's seen The Virgin Suicides would immidately relate this song to that movie, as it's played through the entire thing. Now, for those of you who do not know the story (go and read the book!), the story deals with (quite obviously) suicide, of the Lisbon sisters. They were not safe, from anything. This is why this song is here.
12. Youth Group - Drowned
This song is here because it's about finding safeness in something that isn't exactly safe. An escape song, if you will.
13. Do Make Say Think - Soul and Onward
The atmosphere of this song is unbelieveable. It is, in essense, safe.
