Alternative Essentials Mix

For those of you who read my entry about DIY grad gifts and were wondering about the Alternative Essentials Mix that Kyle and I gave my cousin Mallory with her graduation gift... wait no longer! 

We are both very into alternative music and wanted to compile some of our favorites for her. Song list below.

It was really hard for us to pick just 21 songs... we have SO many we love.. but this is a pretty good idea of our taste in alternative music. We would have added Mumford and Sons, but we knew she already had it :).

What are some of your favorite alternative songs?

All for now,
