Hey all!

Okay, suppose you wanted to make a mix tape for a road trip down the California Coast.

Consider the following song as your model: Yo La Tengo - Today is the Day.

Acoustic, slow, downbeat, very very very calm. As calm as possible. Sentimental. Lyrics-oriented. Guitars. Quiet. Indie is good.

Can you recommend a few songs like this? I need to make a 12-15 song mix CD. I want her to love it.

Other songs to give you direction: The XX - VCR. Damien Rice - Volcano.

People she generally likes (but ideally few or very obscure songs from these people): Bonnie Prince Billy, Yo La Tengo, Sufjan Stevens, The XX, Damien Rice, Jose Gonzalez, Neutral Milk Hotel, Wilco, Sun Kill Moon, Bright Eyes, etc.
