First off, I apologize for the title of this compilation - it did seem fairly clever for about 23 minutes. At any rate, I'm excited to go see M. Ward in August so I thought I'd put together a nice mixtape which ultimately ended up being a 2 disc compilation (the guy has a lot of b-sides, appearances on soundtracks, compilations, other people's albums, his side projects, etc.) For the M. Wardniks, hopefully there's a few cuts you haven't heard before. And for the newbies to M. Ward who want more, I'd start with Post-War, and then go on to Transfiguration of Vincent, End of Amnesia, Hold Time, and his more recent one, Wasteland Companion.

Niall,
And thanks to you for the track information - especially the songwriting info (I didn't know I Get Ideas was a Louis Armstrong composition.)

Well, in fact 'I get ideas' is a cover of a 1927 tango called "Adios, Muchachos"
