music to listen to while on hold

so my company asked me to make a mix cd. this is quite possibly the coolest thing i have ever been asked to do by an employer. the songs will be loaded onto our phone system and will become the new company hold music. so if you happen to call me at work, and i put you on hold, you might instantly feel hipper and more awesome because of my hold music.

here's my "i'm on hold" mix:

brand new - fork and knife
nada surf - beautiful beat
the owls - all those in favor
band of horses - the general specific
iron & wine - boy with a coin
the format - snails
puressence - drop down to earth
the color wheels - pirate ship
alison krauss & robert plant - stick with me baby
anthony hamilton - do you feel me?
arcade fire - une annee sans lumiere
cocunut records - west coast
death cab for cutie - all is full of love
feist - 1 2 3 4
glen hansard - fallen from the sky
imogen heap - goodnight and go
jose gonzalez - heartbeats
lucky soul - add your light to mine, baby
ryan adams - the hardest part
the shout out louds - tonight i have to leave it
maserati / mercury program - you give me problems about my business
mew - fox cub

Coconut Records' "West Coast" turned out as the unofficial song of my south Florida experience.

Great choices. And lucky you for getting to pick that stuff, dang.

I don't know why I remember this, but when was on hold during a follow up call there way back in 2003, Counting Crows was playing.

My the hold music has come a long way.
