Arab Strap ended their 10 year career in 2006, but Adrian Moffat and Malcom Middleton branched off to continue with their solo material, and are still touring and recording in and around the UK. While usually mind numbingly miserable, the opening track to their greatest hits (of sorts) Ten Years of Tears is a brief, sweet song which would probably work well as an opener to any lovey dovey mixtape. As it's pretty short, i've linked to my favourite Girl Talk track, probably the one where the cutting,mashing and pasting comes together in the best kind of way.
