[Left outside Ellie's door is a little package with a CD inside and a note taped to the front:

It's a little late, but I figure you and I have both been up to our eyeballs in events and stuff. Tell me which ones you like! (^_^)

P.S. My music tastes aren't quite the same as a lot of my friends so... idk, if you find these weird I can ask Chloe to put together something more rock n' roll or punk.

-Mad Max

The CD itself contains a bunch of songs and a list, with handwritten little notes next to the titles:]

1. Matilda by Alt-J. One of my favorite bands. This is a tribute to a movie called Leon: the Professional about the most badass twelve year old ever. And her hitman best friend!
2. In My Mind by Amanda Palmer. This one's from Chloe's list. Amanda Palmer makes great music and this one's way too cute to pass up.
3. There is a Light that Never Goes Out by the Smiths. And oldie but a goodie. Makes me feel so 80's.
4. Adventures in Solitude by The New Pornographers. Funny band name. These guys are amazing, they make these super unique songs with voicing that'll blow your socks clean off.
5. Raindrops by Regina Spektor. Okay, this one's a little more mainstream, but it's just so cute. Regina Spektor's voice is awesome.
6. Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap. I got this from a movie, 500 Days of Summer. Fun feels-hipster movie, but the soundtrack might be the best bit. And you can't go wrong with Joseph Gordon-Levitt!
7. Exile Villify by The National. This song was made for Portal 2, a video game, and if you haven't played any of the Portal games yet YOU SHOULD.
8. Oceans by Seafret. This one has an interesting music video, but even just the song is cool. Deep.
9. A Comet Appears by The Shins. Kinda mellow. First time I heard it was on a show called Chuck. This one's pretty deep, too.
10. Kids Will Be Skeletons by Mogwai. I figure I should give you at least one instrumental song so you can see if you like it. Somehow it's both quiet and exciting at the same time. Great when taking photos. :D
