“Roughly speaking, this is a musical history of my life.”

For those who missed the on January 13th released, viral spread #caribou (almost 2600 facebook shares) of “The Longest Mixtape”,I would say, spend your next 60 hours listening to Caribou’s “The Longest Mixtape” – YOUTUBE. A 1,000 song playlist curated by Caribou’s Dan Snaith. Snaith put together a collection of 1000 songs important to him – (Because of YouTube’s coding, only 200 of the tracks are cycled in the embed—you’ll have to click through for the full 1000.) It includes tracks from Kanye West, Arthur Russell, Madvillain, the Zombies, Pusha T, Wire, Missy Elliott… and too many others to list. Snaith: “The last few years of my life have been incredible, thanks in large part to all of you – so I’ve been thinking of how to say thank you. As you can imagine, music has been a central love of my life since I was a teenager and over the years I’ve been introduced to a lot that has stayed with me. I’ve collected the majority of that music here – and I thought sharing it with you seemed like one way I could say thanks. I’m sure some things are under-represented or over-represented, but roughly speaking this is a musical history of my life. Of course a lot of this music has come to me through my friends – thank you to Koushik, Kieran, Jeremy, Gary, Brandon, Jason, Sam, Ketan, Ryan, Toby and many others… Also, please share music with me that you think I would like but is not included here, in the hope this becomes a dialogue rather than a monologue. I suggest you listen to this on shuffle as I made no attempt to sequence these tracks – I just entered them as I browsed along the shelves in my record collection. If you see dead links or duplicate songs please tweet me @caribouband. I hope you find something to enjoy here. Thanks, Dan” Start dancing in your living rooms folks!
