I...I'm glad you liked at least the first part. I am a big R&B fan but I, too, shut down immediately upon hearing country music so I guess I would feel the same way. <br /><br />As for High for This, I am coming to understand that it's a very polarizing song. I think that to truly appreciate Ellie Goulding's cover you'd have to be familiar with the original. What strikes me about it is the vastly different tone she sets with her version, but that maybe an empty comparison without hearing the first. I was going to add a remix I have that mashes her with a Lil' Wayne song ("Open your hand/Take a glass"/"Shut up bitch, swallow it") but that was too many levels of meta.<br /><br />And re Amadou et Mariam, I think you may be right that they feel out of place. I had like 10 songs I wanted to include that didn't really fit and this one was the easiest to shoehorn, but perhaps it would have been better suited to another mixtape. Ah well!
