As promised in print, here are the mix CD track listings from The Procrastinator’s Gift Guide — with links for listening. Many of the links go to YouTube “videos” with audio only; some go to Stereogum and other places where you can stream or download songs; some, when the individual song wasn’t available, go to MySpace pages; some go to live performances or official videos. If you find a broken link or have a better one for us, please let me know!
Throughout the day I’ll be adding links to the bands’ websites, but I wanted to get the track links up for now…
