I’ve been rather derelict in my blogging lately- life just hasn’t been condusive to a lot of writing. But I’ve managed to keep up with the mixtapes, and new music. In fact, this week I’m packing in the new stuff. New demo/leaks from Weezer, Coldplay and Oasis… New Fratellis, new pigeon Detectives, and new Futureheads… New artists Collin Herring and David Kitt… as always, download, listen, enjoy, and comment… or don’t.
(I’ve only just noticed that I’ve picked an image from the same Flickr.com user’s collection two weeks running- random coincidence, or is Fabrizio just that good… you decide!)
This is a music blog, but I do have other interests in life- and occassionally, they intersect. Today is just one of those days. I’ve been trying to catch up on reading some of my favorite music blogs, and noticed this post on My Old Kentucky Blog: Asthmatic Kitty adds seven artists to roster…. The intersect is in the addition of illustrator Laura Park. I’m a big fan of all kinds of art, and have a print of Park’s hanging in my living room. It’s cool to see a record label taking on a visual artist this way.
To celebrate the additions to their roster, Asthmatic Kitty are releasing a free sampler album with one piece from each new artist. You can download the sampler here, or stream it on Muxtape.com.
This has been a shit week. I really didn’t get through all my emails, newsfeeds, etc to listen to new music this week, and I don’t really care to. So, you’re getting a best-of mixtape sorta. It’s basically the mix of some favorites from the past several months that haphazardly scobbled together. Download, listen, comment- or don’t. I really don’t care.
Cloud Cult were pretty amazing last night. I was a new experience to watch visual artist Connie Minowa work on stage while listening to her husband and band perform. It felt good, watching a band that does so much for environmental causes on Earth Day.
Wow, the weather the past couple of days has been fantastic, and I had the pleasure of getting out last night to play soccer for acouple of hours. This morning, however, my feet were killing. I spent some time today driving to various music outlets in Atlanta, trying to play as many different drum electronic kits as possible- to get a feel for what I might want in one. It’s been a decade at least since I really played a kit- living in apartments and with roommates is not condusive to playing drums (or vice versa). So, “drummer” was the keyword that lead me to this week’s image of a old guy playing kit in a club in London. I liked the old-school film look of it, and the expression on the guy’s face is great.
Anyhow- I’ve got lots of music in this week’s mixtape for y’all! New stuff from Lily Allen, Weezer and Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip along with a cover duet from Feist and Constantines. Also this week: two tracks with the same title by different artists - Easy Now by Kites, and then by Freddie Stevenson. Plus, a whole bunch of other stuff. I’m not gonna go through each artist here- just download, listen on repeat, leave a comment. Enjoy!
