i figured i'd try to carve out a little cyberspace for this rather than attempt to chase down a dozen mix threads in that audio graveyard known as the Mix Forum

apologies if this is overreaching...i'm just trying to do a good thing






[toots mix placeholder]

I'm into it

How dare you, motherfucker!

I kinda gave up on making my 2010 mixes. Too much work and too little interest.

i'm in.

I've been keeping track of mine in that very audio graveyard here.

I'll put together a top 20 (or so) sometime in January.

Here's one just for fun. Yes I just let itunes put the mix in alphabetical order, but sometimes it works. Nothing noisy or outrageous. Tracks 4, 7, 9, and 18 are from my top 20, everything else is great tracks I picked up here and there, some stuff that falls in the latter half of my top 40, if anyone cares by that point.

01. Airplane Noise - I Will Always Win (riyl simple bedroom pop)
02. Allo Darlin' - Kiss Your Lips (riyl new school english twee)
03. Beat Mark - Breezing! (riyl that lo-fi catchy fuzz pop a lot of bands are doing this year, aka L-FCFPTALOBADTY)
04. Black Wine - Chateau of Ghosts (riyl spooky pop)
05. The Books - Beautiful People (riyl the glorious weirdness of the books)
06. Clem Snide - Wal-Mart Parking Lot (riyl 90s-era Clem Snide)
07. Colleen Green - Green One (riyl L-FCFPTALOBADTY)
08. Damien Jurado - Arkansas (riyl newer DJ)
09. Darren Hanlon - Folk Insomnia (riyl Lucksmiths via Pete Seeger)
10. First Aid Kit - You're Not Coming Home Tonight (riyl femme-acoustic bedroom pop)
11. Jeremy Messersmith - Violet! (riyl PopTodd)
12. Jim Bryson & the Weakerthans - Metal Girls (riyl songs about girls)
13. Lord Huron - The Problem With Your Daughter (riyl airy and layered americana)
14. Menomena - TAOS (riyl indie rock)
15. Moondoggies - What Took So Long (riyl the last Moondoggies album)
16. Nightlands - Suzerain (A Letter to the Judge) (riyl hypnotic harmonies)
17. Sally Seltmann - Heart That's Pounding (riyl solid songstress w/ piano)
18. Tender Trap - Danger Overboard (riyl Heavenly, Talulah Gosh)

i havent heard anything by menomena in a long time

Everybody stop saying dump.

I'm gonna do mine up sometime this week.
