Friday Mixtape Volume 210
jamie on March 7th, 2008
Ah, March is here. Spring is just around the corner, and so is St. Paddy’s Day! Thankfully, my favorite watering hole is re-opening this weekend, so I’ll have someplace to celebrate the holiday o’ green. But that’s a week away yet- for this week, I’ll pulled together a little mixtape of a few bands for your listening pleasure. I’m not as taken by the new Gnarls Barkley, but I do like the single and the track I’ve included here. Most of the rest of the album just doesn’t stand out as much as the first one did. Sophomore slump (from two artists that can be called anything but sophomores or sophomoric- not my meaning)? What did impress me this week was Attack and Release from The Black Keys. A slighty different sound from them, and I really liked the banjo pickin’ on Psychotic Girl. Also this week: Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner and The Rascals’ Miles Kane have gone in together on a side project called The Last Shadow Puppets. I’m not exactly sure what to think of the video for The Age Of The Understatement, but it’s got tanks, and the two musician’s look as if they’re brothers. Lots of other goodies on this week’s mix, so give it a listen, and let me know what you think!
