Rilo Kiley Mixtape

Before posting this, I checked it over with the biggest Rilo Kiley fan I know (yep, I take this blog seriously, yo) and we agreed it's pretty airtight. The thing about Rilo Kiley is that they don't really have any bad songs; it just matters what mood you're in. And so there may be one or two songs left out here that might otherwise have been included if not for reasons of length or tone, but that are perfectly great songs on their respective albums.

Because the band's repertoire is so strong, it was pretty easy to choose an even mix from all of their releases, starting with The Initial Friend EP and coming through to 2007's Under The Blacklight. There hasn't been a new release since then (with Blake Sennett and Jenny Lewis each concentrating on separate projects) and the band is currently on indefinite hiatus.

Anyway, the playlist is as follows:

1. The Good That Won't Come Out (The Execution Of All Things)
2. The Frug (The Initial Friend EP)
3. Wires And Waves (Take Offs & Landings)
4. Smoke Detector (Under The Blacklight)
5. Does He Love You? (More Adventurous)
6. My Slumbering Heart (The Execution Of All Things)
7. Don't Deconstruct (Take Offs & Landings)
8. Always (The Initial Friend EP)
9. It's A Hit (More Adventurous)
10. Give A Little Love (Under The Blacklight)
11. Go Ahead (Take Offs & Landings)
12. The Execution Of All Things (The Execution Of All Things)
13. It Just Is (More Adventurous)
