After I explained to her what the "Indie" preceding Rock, Folk, Pop and Film meant, my mother nosed around for her very own mix tape.
When I asked her what kind of music she would like me to include she exclaimed, "Indie Rock!", "happy!" and "not too far out."
The result is mostly folk and pop with a rock-y tinge. Turns out most of the really good music I own would not be considred "happy" by mom standards.
It's in the mail, Mom.
And here's the track list. So you all can judge me. And so when my mom inevitably loses the one I put in the package, she can find it here.
Bleeding Heart Show – The New Pornographers
The Gardener – The Tallest Man on Earth
World News – Local Natives
July, July! – The Decemberists
Silver Lining – Rilo Kiley
Australia – The Shins
Lisztomania – Phoenix
My Rights Versus Yours – The New Pornographers
Big Bird in a Small Cage – Patrick Watson
The Mystic – The Swell Season
Little Lion Man – Mumford and Sons
(You Don’t Know) How Glad I Am – The Living Sisters
Crash Years – The New Pornographers
Just What I Needed – The Cars
Taj Mahal – Sam Roberts
The Next Messiah – Jenny Lewis
**I know I'm breaking mix tape rules with The New Pornographers. I just couldn't help it.**

I like the music and soon I'll tell you the ones I like the most. And, yes, I've lost the list you made, although it's not permanently lost. But thanks for this much more permanent one. Love you
