How to compile a mix CD (part one)



Trying to compile a mix CD for a friend's night in London.


His brief is that he's aiming for a turn of the century French cafe concert, "the sort of place where a modern Eric Satie or Tristan Tzara might feel at home". This is what I've come up with so far...

Angel Number Three - Mick Turner/Tren Brothers 1:05
Bedroom Bossa Band - Lullatone 2:46
Behind Your Sunglasses - Les Calamités 2:11
Chirippk - Pimmon 4:12
Circle of Thoughts - Leighton Craig 1:02
Civic Pride - Darren Hayman & The Secondary Modern 2:30
Commentary - Lawrence English 4:30
Eat Your Heart - Micachu 2:21
Eye Of The Tiger - Katrine Ottosen 3:33
Eyes Of Blue - The Deadnotes + The Legend! 1:21
Fa Cé La - The Feelies 2:03
Fake Records of Rock and Roll - Daniel Johnston 3:35
The Glory of Love - The Velvetones 2:53
The Guilty Office - The Bats 5:04
Health And Efficiency - This Heat 8:11
The Horror - Duke Garwood 2:02
Hunting tigers Out In india (Yah) - Hal Swain & his Band 2:49

Meaningless Words - Ray Rumours 2:30
Mills & Boon - Julian Gaskell And His Ragged Trousered Philanthropists 4:35
My Town - The Singing Loins 4:03
"Pour Vancouver Et Ailleurs" - Woelv 3:48
Poxy - Bill Wells & Maher Shalal Hash Baz 5:35

Tiger Tom Kill Tiger Cat - Wilmoth Houdini 2:53
To Lose Someone - Taken By Trees 4:47
Track 02 - Julie Doiron 5:21
Track 05 - Eugene Carchesio and Leighton Craig 1:52
Two Sunsets - Pastels/Tenniscoats 4:30
Unattainable - Little Joy 2:02
Unheimliche Entdeckung - Irmin Schmidt 1:47
Whyyy - Gablé 1:44

It comes in at just over 2.2 hours, but he can always drop one, or both, of the live acts. Right?
