Friday Mixtape Volume 221
jamie on May 23rd, 2008
Alrighty- I’ve been feeling a bit refreshed this week after an extended weekend beach getaway to the Gulf Coast last week (except for yesterday, and I’ve only got myself to blame for that). But the shortened week also left me a little bit behind in my musical quest for new schtuff. Thanks to Aubriane and 5andman for your comments, I only hope I can stand up to such high standards- which is why I chose not to include any Alanis Morissette on this week’s mixtape. What I do have is a blend of new, slighty less than new, and all-around awesome tracks. Adele’s album 19 has been around for a bit, but the new single was produced by SF fav Mark Ronson, and I happened to hear it playing twice this week, so I’m still calling it new. Foxboro Hot Tubs (A.K.A. Green Day in disguise) aren’t new either, but they’ve expanded this little side project to include 6 new tracks, and a tour. Local H have been around since before SF was nuts, and they’ve got new stuff out as of last week. Oh, and if you missed the last post, Matthew Perryman Jones is playing Smith’s Olde Bar tonight with Evan McHugh- so, if you’re an Atlantan, come out and say hello. As usual, download/listen/love/comment?

This week’s image comes from Paul Goyette in honor of the upcoming holiday. There was an interesting post on one of the “non-music blogs” I regularly read today on how to fly Old Glory with respect. Oh, and last week’s photo re-creation? It didnt’ turn out as well as the original, but the point is that it’s my feet in the pic!
