Friday Mixtape Volume 113
Jamie Kohns on March 30th, 2007
Every time I listen to Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, I find some new line of it to laugh at. Be it Thou shalt not judge Lethal Weapon by Danny Glover, Thou shalt not attend an open mic and leave before it’s done just because you’ve finished your shitty little poem or song you self-righteous prick or just Thou shalt not question Stephen Fry. I've been listening to it for a week, and I thought I'd be tired of it by now- but I'm not, so I'm sharing it with you on this mixtape. Also included is new music from Snow Patrol (from and earlier post), a new favorite from the Kaiser Chiefs' latest disc, and a few new artists for me. I'm loving The Minor Canon (thanks to Shameless Complacency), but I'm really loving Laura Marling. Zane Lowe played her this week, and I can't get enough! I want a full album! Anyway, enjoy your weekend, enjoy the mixtape, behave, and remember: Thou shalt not shake it like a polaroid picture.

Alexandra Patsavas (right)- the founder of Chop Shop Music Supervision in LA, responsible for soundtracks for The OC & Grey's Anatomy, and flinging sales of certain tracks used in those shows to gold and/or platinum status- has worked out a deal with Atlantic Records to form a new imprint called Chop Shop Records. The details are apparently still being worked out, but they're already searching for acts. Full story 
Summer Blockbusters are upon us already, with the recent release of 300, the nearly-released Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End, Ocean's 13, Shrek 3, and the third installment of Sam Rami's Spiderman series. Attaching big, theatrical anthems to summer movies is nothing new, but a new trick for Snow Patrol. They've done up a 'theme' for the Spiderman 3 soundtrack- give it a listen below.
