White Stripes Mix

I've had a few weeks now to digest the White Stripes' latest, "Get Behind Me Satan," and I think it's a very good album. Certainly not their best; "White Blood Cells" and "Elephant"--in that order--share that honor. But it is very good: it has such a laid back, easy quality to it, that I don't mind that it is somewhat half-formed.

But the more important question is: What does this do to my "Ultimate White Stripes Mix"? Satan has a few contributions (how crazy a clause is that?), but the rest of their catalogue still dominates. So, since I love to make mixed CDs and tell everyone about it (could there be a more perfect use for a blog?), here's what I take to be the best 80-minutes the White Stripes' catalogue currently has to offer:

1. Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
2. Hello Operator
3. The Air Near my Fingers
4. My Doorbell
5. Offend in Every Way
6. I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart
7. Fell in Love With a Girl
8. I'm Bound to Pack It Up
9. Take, Take, Take
10. Lord, Send Me An Angel
11. I'm Finding it Harder to be a Gentleman
12. Rated X
13. Apple Blossom
14. You've Got Her In Your Pocket
15. Jolene
16. Little Ghost
17. The Union Forever
18. The Denial Twist
19. Hotel Yorba
20. Truth Doesn't Make a Noise
21. Hypnotize
22. The Same Boy You've Always Known
23. It's True That We Love One Another
24. Now Mary
25. Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)
26. We're Going To Be Friends
27. Your Southern Can is Mine

Definitely let me know what I've missed...

UPDATE: What the hell? Blogger ate the track numbers. So imagine this list in sequence, because that's what I burned for my car...
