Caribou: The Longest Mixtape – 1000 Songs For You

Caribou will einfach mal „Danke“ sagen und tut das mit einer YouTube-Playlist die nicht weniger als 1000 Songs umfasst und wohl die musikalische Geschichte seines Lebens abbildet. Ich gehe davon aus, dass wir hier in Deutschland mindestens 300 Videos davon nicht sehen können, aber da kann Caribou ja nichts für. Ich klick einfach mal Play. Kann ja nicht schaden.

“The last few years of my life have been incredible, thanks in large part to all of you – so I’ve been thinking of how to say thank you.

As you can imagine, music has been a central love of my life since I was a teenager and over the years I’ve been introduced to a lot that has stayed with me. I’ve collected the majority of that music here – and I thought sharing it with you seemed like one way I could say thanks.

I’m sure some things are under-represented or over-represented, but roughly speaking this is a musical history of my life. Of course a lot of this music has come to me through my friends – thank you to Koushik, Kieran, Jeremy, Gary, Brandon, Jason, Sam, Ketan, Ryan, Toby and many others… Also, please share music with me that you think I would like but is not included here, in the hope this becomes a dialogue rather than a monologue.

I suggest you listen to this on shuffle as I made no attempt to sequence these tracks – I just entered them as I browsed along the shelves in my record collection. If you see dead links or duplicate songs please tweet me -@caribouband.
