Friday Mixtape Volume 28
Jamie Kohns on July 14th, 2006
This week's mixtape start out rockin' with new tracks from Audioslave and The Killers. I don't care if Stereogum doesn't like the new Audioslave- I think it's great (they like Tapes 'N Tapes). James Morrison and Jamie Lidell give a bit of soul to the mix, then Outkast blends their own style with classic blues. Heather of I Am Fuel, You Are Friends posted the next track this week, and it grew on me. You get The Strokes, throw them in a room with Eddie Vedder and Josh Homme, and tell them to play Marvin Gaye…it's a good thing! Then, I changed gears, and jumped into the Ro Rlvd. remix of Lupe Fiasco's hit, and chased with fresh Pharrell Williams. I Took a skip across the pond for new Plan B, then back to NYC for Daniel Merriweather and Saigon (is Turtle really his manager?) mixed up with some Mark Ronson (thanks Fluxblog!). Rhymefest blends in a little rock with Citizen Cope. I just started listening to Gym Class Heros, and I already like it a lot. Larua's sister's band- which I'm not sure about yet, but after listening to her read Laura's diaries all year, I had to give it a chance. Finally, a pleasent surprise from a myspace friend's page- Colbie Caillat has a nice blend of acoustic folk/soul, even if I can't figure out how to pronounce her last name. Anyway, there you have it- the Friday Mixtape, volume 28!
Drums are cool. I played the drums. Akash_k likes drums too, and I liked his close-up of a snare drum, and that's why it's the cover photo this week.
