Mix Pod- Melancholy mix

1.       Raining Again- Moby- I choose this track because it sums up the mix quite nicely, the beat gives a livelier tempo for the play list but the main chorus and vocals bring it back to the Minor theme.

2.       The fix- Elbow- This track slows the playlist right down with the slower beat on the track and bass, Guy Garvey's vocals bring the mix to a more relaxed style, though the track is still minor.

3.       Freddy Kruger- Reuben- I choose this track because it reflects a more angry style of melancholy music, presents a more aggressive style, though it still sticks to the minor melody throughout.

4.       Minnesota, WI- Bon Iver- The Bass starts out with a more major feeling but the track quickly sinks into a more minor feel. This track is great for when you need something mellow to listen to.

5.       Tighten Up- The Black Keys- I really like this track as the lead guitar is mainly playing a really funky rhythm that fits the whistling really well. Though it’s the guitar and fill and vocals that really make the track melancholy.

6.       Andvari- Sigur ros- A good mix playlist always changes the playlist with highs and lows, this track is a more relaxed low that fits the playlist with a more mellow minor kind of sound.

7.       Children of the Grounds- Midlake-This track instantly changes the mood as it has a much faster beat, and the track is just really different because there are only three parts, the acoustic guitar, and the two vocal parts which are in different keys, this track really presents a faster paced minor sound that is really simple but effective.

8.       Infinite Arms- Band of horses- I then choose this track because it slows the pace of the playlist down again, the vocals work really well to present the minor melodies, also this track slips in and out of major and minor parts as the vocals clash with the guitar part.

9.       New Slang- The Shins- This song fades in slowly with a really great vocal and guitar part, although the vocals are minor the song still manages to make you feel really happy.

10.    The Thief and The heartbreaker- Alberta cross- The minor part really comes across with the lead guitar, this song is more of a straight forward melancholy track but with a more alternative rock vibe to it, I think it fits really well into the mix.

11.    Sometime around midnight-The Airborne Toxic Event- This track fits really well because straight away it comes in with a really melancholy string part, that goes into a catchy guitar riff, that is complemented by the vocalist’s minor singing. The pace starts to pick up after a while.

        12.    Pills in my Pocket- Fink-  I choose this track because it is simple and it really slows the pace of the playlist right down. The simple track sound allows you to connect to the song quite easily adding to the feeling of melancholy.

13.    You don't understand me – Raconteurs- I wanted the playlist to finish on a high so I choose this track because it has a really good interchanging melody between the vocals and guitar but the track finishes on a high with a really strong piano and guitar part that leaves the listener on a high after the playlist.
