Friday Mixtape Volume 220
jamie on May 16th, 2008
Okay, fast and dirty this week. New music as always, but not so many new bands. Comments from two weeks ago were correct, I fell for a fake Death Cab file. Song wasn’t half bad though, was it? Anyway, new DCFC this week, and more Weezer. I haven’t really been a fan of Weezer’s stuff, but Troublemaker really rocks. Wallis Bird is new to me, but I dig her stuff already. Not sure what to think of the new Captain single yet- they were one of my favorites from 2006, but this one hasn’t caught on with me yet. That’s all I have to say really- oh, wait: the new Ratatat is pretty mellow and cool, right?
Okay, that’s all- download listen, enjoy, comment if you like. Hopefully, in less than 18 hours, I’ll be recreating this week’s cover/banner image on the white sands of Gulf coast Florida, listening to some really cool tracks with some kind of frosty adult potable- I’ll be back next week!

I’ve been rather derelict in my blogging lately- life just hasn’t been condusive to a lot of writing. But I’ve managed to keep up with the mixtapes, and new music. In fact, this week I’m packing in the new stuff. New demo/leaks from Weezer, Coldplay and Oasis… New Fratellis, new pigeon Detectives, and new Futureheads… New artists Collin Herring and David Kitt… as always, download, listen, enjoy, and comment… or don’t.
