Playlist: Phil's mix 2000-5 (for the second end of the millenium)

Apple has made me an iTunes affiliate. In the past, I've posted a few of my playlists, but I was always frustrated by the fact that people couldn't easily recreate my list. I offered Amazon links, but didn't expect people to buy a dozen separate albums just to be able to listen to my mix. But now, with iTunes' 99¢ songs, that's all changed. Over time, I'll be posting a bunch of these. Why should you care? Well maybe you won't. But for whatever it's worth, I've been mixing music for other people for a very long time -- parties as a teen (and ever since), a few club gigs in the 80s, programming a downtempo electronic radio station in the 90s. Hopefully, you'll discover something cool from this and the mixes to come (and the few that I already posted.) The coding of my mixes is pretty straightforward. "2000-5" means this was the fifth mix in 2000 that I burned to a CD for some purpose outside my home. In this case a friend's party. In all the years before iTunes, most of the mixes I made came and went without being recorded except for a few mix tapes I could recreate. There's an exception of sorts. At some point, I'll import the list of 1000+ songs I used when I was programming the radio station. BTW, don't get the impression from this mix or the radio gig that I only listen to electronic music. Far far from it. (Otep is playing right now as I write this.) That will become obvious over time too.
