Friday Mixtape Volume 135
Jamie Kohns on August 31st, 2007
Another week gone… and another year as well. I started my 33rd year on this planet on Monday with a blast over the weekend, thanks to my friends. This weekend is a long holiday for those of us in the United States, and while an obscene number of people will try to travel this weekend, I'm staying close to home. Anyway, on to the music. I move from pretty mellow stuff to more energetic on volume 135- starting with Keren Ann and the new Band of Horses. Both tracks have been stuck in my head in alternating sequence. Jacksonville's Black Kids were new to me this week, but have found their way onto my Moto Q (which I use for music more than my iPod). I had to include some new Kanye, even if Chris Martin is on the track, and added the new Lupe Fiasco that Nah Right posted yesterday, because it's anything but 'dumbed down'. It's just sick! To round out this mixtape, I threw in some enw stuff by old-schoolers Springsteen and Counting Crows, just because. Have a great weekend everyone!
Thomas Hawk no longer actively posts photos to Flickr, but he's still got some great ones there- where I got today's image from. He's got a new photo site called Zooomr.

I'm kind of catching up on stuff that I've been listening to lately, but not included on mixtapes because of disorganization and/or lack of time. So this is the mixtape where I catch up on Eisley, Razorlight, Athlete and others. I found som ecool new stuff online this week as well, so it makes for a nice mix. Anyway, That's all I have to say about this week's mixtape. You'll have to download and listen to it to tell me what you think.
