These songs were either released/leaked ca September or are part of EPs/albums that were. I didn't decide to make this mixtape until...well pretty much the first of oOoOOctober so didn't start werkin on it till then. Didn't remember if a few of the albums were released in the timeframe or I've just been running around so much that it slipped my mind. A lot of love, care, and most importantly discretion has gone into making this 'mixtape'. I think all the tracks here are "legit". But if not: DONT ASK ME TO REMOVE ANYTHING. THAT WOULD MEAN I HAVE TO MAKE A NEW ZIP FILE AND REUPLOAD. I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THAT BULLSHIT. GO FUCK YOURSELF...NEWAYS
El Guincho leads us off with some innovative combination of steel drums and electropop. Coincidentally oOoOO has a song titled Mumbai on their new EP. You have no idea how tempting it was to include that on the mixtape...for novelty. But I decided to 'hold myself to a higher standard' and not be 'gimmicky' this go round.
I had some mixed feelings about including Small Black's "Search Party" [via I already gave it a blog entry and want 2 expose yall to more diversity] but I just <3 it sooo much.
So I think it was two weeks ago when Active Child and 'The School of Broken Bells, srsly why we teachin our kids to play choral instruments that sound like bangin a knife on cookie pans yall' or w/e they r called...NEWAYS those two, did some mutual remixing of respective tracks, and the result was wonderful.
I'm honestly not sure why Glasser's "Home" was released so early and heavily blogged. Nor why "Apply" wasn't just as heavily blogged. I mean we all make mistakes. Sometimes we just get complacent and we take whatever the newest release is from an artist we respect and just 'blgo the shit out of it' [via bein an effing 20-something]. I've been guilty of this in the past, but no more (at least thats what I tell myself).
This Crystal Fighters - Star of Love album is a "grower". Still not sure how I feel about it on the whole. But since it has 'Basque influences' feel like it will aid greatly in my 'personal development' as a 'tastemaker'.
Not sure when, but Twin Shadow remixed Surfer Blood's "Floating Vibes" which I recommend giving a listen. But for now...wait seriously, is it even possible you haven't heard "Slow" yet? If so, take a step back, think about the title, and how appropo it seems to describe yer ability 2 keep up with 'buzzbands'.
I remember getting a tip a while ago on No Joy's "No Summer" from @foamingbbq (I believe it's still on bandcamp). So when "Heedless" was released, listening to it was a no-brainer.
Checked out The Black Ryder's new album "Buy the ticket, take the ride (but only if ur tall enough, SERIOUSLY my wife is bangin the "Guess Your Age" booth guy and if I lose this Carney gig she'll probs leave me yall)"...on a tip from @mexicansummer
Ok so Deerhunter's "Halcyon Digest" is good. UNDERSTATEMENT. But I think we're all a bit perplexed as to how the P4K's rating system works [via why did it get a 9.2]? Not saying it didn't deserve a 9.2, but I feel there are other albums that deserve a comparably high rating, possibly higher relatively, that I don't even see on the p4ks.
A remember in recent history I clicked some link 2 download a free track by Warpaint. They made me enter a valid email address. Totes worth it. Can't wait for "The Fool"s release.
Veronica Summer's Sawyer Camp was on a tip from @righthear. Actually a few of my mixtape/blog entry songs are. I think we might be blog bff's...bbffs. Wish they were a gurl, I'd totes hit that.
Hey remember when I made that comment about albums not being rated high enough on the bitchsporks? I'd like to enter Women's Public Strain as evidence Exhibit A. On that note, I was recently not selected for jury duty. That whole process was a dog & pony show. Quite lolz worthy. Yall should keep an eye on my tumblr and watch me fail to articulate the irl fail...NEWAYS let me say this about Women. They are as good/if not better than Interpol at their prime. It was so hard to not listen to this album a second time in a row ca 4 AM when I was already dead tired.
oOoOOooH I'm likin this "Witch House" stuff. More please. Think that this atx local band "Missions", who opened 4 SLAY BALLS last night might be next in my listening qUeUEeee
Learned of Eternal Summers thanks to a label sampler from @kaninerecords...I think. They played a show at this East Austin dive, Club 1808 the following week. KISMET! It's a quaint little venue in an uh...interesting part of town where the 'non hipster' locals congregate at one of the myriad liquor stores.
At the end I just wanted something a little more mellow than the mellow. Btw, checked out Memory Screen on a tip from @teendaze.
