i'm trying to finish a paper and study for two exams all at once, yet i find myself retreating to this god forsaken blog to escape. this post will be short a sweet. there have been a couple tracks lately that have really caught my eye beyond just putting them in a mix. pretty much anything by beach fossils, wild nothing, a sunny day in glasgow, caribou, and the aforementioned coyote clean up and millionyoung have me just smitten right now. so what do i do? put them on a mix. (really though, the new caribou single (odessa) is out of control good)
next week, if this goes according to plan, i will be posting the big valentines 2010 mix. this is a big fucking deal. i create one of these "FLAWLESS" mixes for every year that i am alone for valentines day. kind of a valentines mix to myself. sad and pathetic eh? you can laugh now
maybe, if i can remember, i will upload one or two or three of these flawless mixes from the past up to this site next week before my actual 2010 mix. my friend just reminded me of the term "panty dropper" and a couple of the mixes i have made in my life time definitely fit that title. one specifically on my mind was originally dubbed "the kia love mix" (my kia actually had a bike rack on top which made it look much more manly) but the mix was then renamed "black love" for the obvious reason that there was just no love going on in that kia except for my creepy love/obsession for music. so maybe these mixes will make you people find some love this year instead of staring at your computer all day like i do.
but until then, there is this mix, february 1. it is too long to fit onto a cd so for that i'm sorry, but i believe a couple i've uploaded onto here have been over that limit anyways so oh well.
some more info on feb. 1- be forewarned, this pretty much a chillwave/shoegaze mixtape. looking over after i was finished compiling the songs together i realized there were probably only six or maybe less bands that probably used real drums in recording their song. but don't worry, bear hands will wake you up after a sunny day in glasgow puts you to sleep. also, the first song might not appear to make sense, it's by this band called the takeover uk. they added me on myspace a long long time ago. they can appear so fucking cheesy (and they might be) yet some of their songs are just perfect pop songs with great guitar lines, like the one on this mix specifically. the new shy child single is just undeniably catchy and great and you should really watch the video. and the new lemonade single is delicious, tacky, and cool all at once. that's all. really.
props to andrew paleno for turning me onto this specific mew song, and props to the dude from surfer blood who suggested the song by grooms.
