Friday Mixtape Volume 120
jamie on May 18th, 2007
Another week gone, another mixtape. One week from now, I'll be finished with my last day at my current job, and taking the holiday weekend to relax by the pool before starting fresh at a new job. Woo. Back to this week though…
New Spoon tracks are all over the net now, and Rhthm & Soul is my favorite of them. The album is amazing. This new Go! Team track was on every other music blog this week, so I thought I'd better keep up- so it's in the mixtape. It hasn't caught on with me quite as quickly as their older stuff, but maybe that'll change after a weekend of listening to it. Kanye and Lupe are putting new stuff out again, and I'm diggin' Lupe's stuff a hell of a lot more than Kayne. I think Kanye should give up trying to rap, and stick to producing. The mix was a little light, so I put in the Streets remix of The Twang I posted earlier this week. Besides, I can't get enough of it. Beastie Boys have a new album coming out soon- all instrumentals this time. A few tracks are out, including this. Give me In 3's any day. The Attorneys are making some great powerpop, which I included…on a whim. I've heard the Kubichek! track on the radio over the past couple of months, but hadn't included them yet, so I figured this was as good a time as any, and I'm not sorry. And finally, Biffy Clyro's new stuff is freakin' awesome! I've been diggin' on the singles for a while, and currently diggin' on this athem for a bit. So, basically, that's it. Enjoy.
Jon Rawlinson has a great collection of photos on his famously-named Flickr.com site. I picked "Drip Drop" because I like the way the water droplet re-focuses the backgroud in perfect miniature.
