Friday Mixtape Volume 37
jamie on September 15th, 2006
Alright then, Volume 37 has a bunch of new stuff on it, moslty by artists I hadn't know n of before this week. That's right: I didn't know about them. I did know about Just Jack before I heard Zane Lowe play him though, only because Popjstice told me about him. Does Zane read Popjustice? Does Zane ever read me? That would be super cool. I was logged into the chatroom one Monday as squirrelfood (you can sometimes find me in there), and Phillipa read it out on-air (oooooh). Anyway, Writer's Block is a great track, reminds me a lot of Jamie T, which is why he's on the mixtape this week as well. Amazing stuff coming from him- seriously, check him out. New album from Clarence Greenwood A.K.A. Citizen Cope. Kinda sounds the same, but that's cool, becaues I like his sound. I Wonder how long before it's used in a commercial? Murder By Death are some fellow Bloomingtonians, and that aone would qualify them as cool- but they've got a really great sound too, incorporating a rich blend of sounds. MCR have this phenominal following (I'm guessing mostly angst-ridden teens), and so their new stuff has been highly anticipated. Well, I've got the new single for ya! Woo! Though, I'm not sure what to think of it. It sounds a bit like Blink 182 at the circus to me. There's more great stuff here, but I'm tired of typing, so download it, listen carefully, then post comments about your thoughts on any (or all) of the tracks. Okay?
…And if you're in the ATL- come down to The 585 tonight to hear PasserBy. I'l be there, that makes it even cooler.
The cover photo comes from Flickr.com user joyseph, from her set "Pretty Things". This amazing shot of a Ferris wheel appears to actualy be it's reflection in a body of water. I was just stunned by the vivid colors in it, and knew I would have to look no further for this week's photo. - Did you know that the first Ferris wheel was over 250 feet tall, and could carry nearly 2,500 people at once? I did, but I'm a nerd. It was designed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. Chicago rules.
