My Heart Beats Outside Itself :: A Mix!


Photo in the cover art by Speakelabs on Flickr.

Hello again! Sorry I've been kind of awful at updating lately, but hey, I've got a new mix today– so that's cool... right? It's just ten tracks – fairly short – but I spent a lot of time arranging it and I think it's quite a nice listen from beginning to end. Some nice jangly guitar, some sweet solos, some lovely glockenspiel – it's all here! If i had to pick a favorite song on the mix, it would probably be between "Trust Me" or probably "Popkiss," though I have been pretty obsessed with Minisnap lately (thanks Kevin!). You should still listen to it all in order though! Alright, well, I hope you like it! Tell your friends! and your mother! and her mother! and tell the dog! and tell the neighborhood butcher! tell the whole town!

Tell me which song that the title of the mix comes from and you'll win a cookie and a glass of milk to dip that cookie in, along with a bib to catch the milk run-off :)

The tracklist is BRILLIANT. Popkiss is one of my favourite songs of all time. I love Minisnap because I adore the Bats. Kaye’s voice is mesmerizing. And I have no words to describe how beautiful the cover art is!!! AWESOME, STUNNING, A BEAUTY! I’d love to print it on a t-shirt…can I? :-)

Matt, please don’t ever stop writing in your blog. I just love it!

Love

What a fabulous mix! A lot of bands and songs that I hadn't heard before. I think my favorite was the Would-Be-Goods song, Casanova 92. Usually Ms. Would-Be-Goods voice grates on me a bit, but I LOVED the jaunty, jangly sound of this song!

I also dug the Hearts on Fire song (wouldn't it be fun to have a Hearts on Fire/Cats on Fire gig?) and the Wild Carnation song. And I have long loved Popkiss. Kiss!
