A monthly mix: August 2011!

Here's a little last hurrah of Summer! I love the Summer, but not as much as what's coming up next, and these hotter than hot days are getting very old. Put this on and go out for a walk melt. Literature, Tunabunny, and Catnaps are a few of my favorite bands being bands right now! If you're not on it, get on it! Everything else is, well, you probably know it. If you don't then I can assure it's all a blast. Now grab it go have a blast.

New Pocketbooks single!

Pocketbooks have just released a brand new single from their upcoming sophomore album 'Carousel'. "Promises, Promises" is a blast of summer with it's shimmering strings, lush harmonies, and just a touch of sadness. It makes me feel the way I do on those days where I keep Belle and Sebastian's "Dirty Dream Number Two" on repeat. It's a good feeling and since I first heard them, Pocketbooks have always found a way to bring it out! Have a listen! If you're in love then head over to Odd Box Records and preorder your copy of the new record! It won't be out until September, but you're going to want to get on it now, I assure you.

[MP3]: Pocketbooks "Promises, Promises" (Highly Rec'd!)

A monthly mix: July 2011!

It's 100 degrees outside today. Yuck.

Hey pals! It's July and I have a new mix to share with you! This month's mix is pretty JUMBO compared to the typical length of previous mixes, but I could couldn't bring myself to cut it down any further. Personal new favorites here include a new track from Bleached (Ex-Mika Miko sisters), Dear Marje (A+ Tiger Trap worship; my new favorite band and yours, too), and a new one off of the new Veronica Falls LP (Sure to be one of the best of the year). Some old gems, too. 20 songs in all. It's perfect for hiding away from the 104 degree temperatures we'll be seeing here tomorrow. Enjoy!

A monthly mix: January 2011!

Though my mantra for 2011 is "back that ass up", this, the flagship monthly mix of 2011, is a bit more of a languid affair. Perhaps it's a last goodbye to a year I don't altogether regret, but that I cannot say I loved. The meaning I put into/get out of this means little in the end though. All I really hope is that maybe you'll find some enjoyment in it. If you find something new to love within these fifteen tracks, well then that's even better! Happy 2011, everyone—and happy listening!
