Friday Mixtape Volume 203

Jamie Kohns on January 18th, 2008

What a crazy week. It actually snowed in Atlanta, enough so that a friend of mine was able to make a mini-snowman. My brake lights stopped working, thanks to a well-known design fault in the brake pedal switch that activates them. Thankfully, the repairs were covered under a recall, and the snow melted before the lights went out.

Except for the Counting Crows, this week’s artists are all pretty much new to me- and they’re all great. It’s like a musical vacation for your ears. Start out in the UK with the slowhand blues of Back Door Slam’s Heavy on My Mind (playing Smith’s on Monday), stopping off for some Mississippi rock from Colour Revolt (playing the 40 Watt in Athens on Feb. 1), then head over to Nashville for a singer-songwriter names Matthew Perryman Jones. Next, bundle up to visit Minneapolis’ Vampire Hands and cut across the midwest to New England to hear Winterpills. Finally, pop back across the pond to Paris, France for a sample of Yael Naim. This showcase could be yours if… (sorry, after I started that trip, it just started sounding more and more like a Price Is Right showcase)

Anyways, there’s good music here that you might like to hear.

Tracklisting:
Back Door Slam - Heavy On My Mind
Colour Revolt - Naked And Red
Counting Crows - When I Dream of Michelangelo
Crushed Stars - Life Until Now
Matthew Perryman Jones - Refuge
Miwa Gemini - Pieces
The Billionaires - Eighties Movies
Vampire Hands - Opium Typhoon
Winterpills - A Folded Cloth
Yael Naim - New Soul
