XPN2 Playlist, 8/1/11

Note: I put together the first half of this playlist while super dizzy and hungover; as a result, there's a lot of moody shoegaze and postrock. The second half of the playlist I did the next morning (when I felt much better), so it's poppy and fun. Broadcasting the show live was like reliving this experience once more -- if you could get through the darkness of the first half, the second half felt exuberant. Or something.
