Friday Mixtape Volume 30
Jamie Kohns on July 28th, 2006
I've got another mixed-bag of great songs for your Friday Mixtape this week, and it's all over the spectrum. From the pure pop of The Feeling and acoustic melody of Landon Pigg (what an unfortunate name) to new new hip-hip from the Roots, down to the nitty gritty blues riffs of the Black Keys. The Holloways make some music with fiddle-vs-guitar riffage (I'm a sucker for any fiddle/violin music), which I can't classify, so just give it a listen. From what looks like it's going to be the worst movie of the year (and as an ophidiophile, one I won't be seeing), the theme song is a fun rocker- just ignore the movie tie-in (BTW: the whole soundtrack looks to be a great OST, done by the awesome people at Fueled By Ramen). Spoon re-released Telephono this week, giving us another real rocker for the mix. I intercut the Example take on Lily's Smile to make Smile/Vile- just for kicks, and Kasabian's new song is officially cool. So is NYC's Alice Smith, but in a different way, mosre smooth a& sexy cool. The Blackbud are new to me, but I'm really diggin' them so far, and Captain has been on the radio a lot, but I just didn't pick get them until I picked up Glorious- now, they're a new favorite.
This week's cover art is from victoregeere, picked because I really liked the perfectly contrasting colors, and it's got cows. Voctorgeere has a knack for colors, and I'm thinking about using another of his shots for a future SFFM. Check out his work, and try to guess which of his other shots I'm eyeing) at flickr.com/photos/victorgeere.
