Collapse - Mutemath

Cheesy video, good song. I put this at the head of a "first songs on album" mix I made for someone. I'm probably just a sucker for ambient, 2 minute moodsetters. See Capture the Flag from You Forgot it in People, or Tautou from Deja Entendu. Fair warning, while this opening track is in league with those two, the follow up from the rest of the mutemath album is nowhere as good. Still, I couldn't get it out of my head as I was trying to get to sleep last night.

Lover's Spit

I've known this song for years, but it still manages to bubble to the surface on occasion. For me, it conjures up blurry memories of nights of drunkenness, and the blurrier friendships founded on those evenings.
