Just heard this on Zane Lowe, and the BBC was kind enough to post it on his micro-site… so enjoy Bloc Party’s Mercury.

Friday Mixtape Volume 227
jamie on July 4th, 2008
Happy 4th of July everyone (and to our international visitors: happy Friday the 4th of July)! I love it when national holidays work themselves out to be long weekends- a mid-week 4th just isn’t the same. I will hopefully find some sun this weekend, stay away from all that junk food normally associated with summer holidays, and take things pretty chill. While I’m doing all that, I might also just listen to this week’s mixtape. Yep, I listen to my own mixes. Anyway, that’s all I’ve got this week… enjoy the mix.
Tracklisting:
Birdmonster - Born To Be Your Man
Computer Vs Banjo - Give Up On Ghosts
James Jackson Toth - Doreen
Jon Sonnenberg - DOA

Whoa! I’m feeling a little dizzy after watching this video for the next release from Diamond Hoo Ha, but it’s a cool concept.
Friday Mixtape Volume 226
jamie on June 27th, 2008
Week 26- that’s half way through the year for those of you keeping track. It’s also the traditional week for my “half-way through the year, best so far” edition of the Friday Mixtape. Kind of a no-brainer, right? It was, until I collected all my favorite tracks from the past 25 mixtapes and had 48 to pick from. I managed to elimnate some of them, but still have a MEGA-Mixtape for you this week. If there’s anything that you missed, it’s probably here this week.
Oh, and the numbers in front of each track- that’s the Friday Mixtape volume it came from.
Anything missing? Is there a track from one of this year’s mixtapes (volumes 201-225) that is a favorite of yours, but not on my mix here? Let me know. Anything at all that I’ve missed? Let me know- the email address is to your right!

Friday Mixtape Volume 225
jamie on June 20th, 2008
Welcome to the first Friday Mixtape of summer! Rather, welcome to summer- today being the first day of the season, even though it feels long overdue. Things in the ATL have been heated up for a few weeks now, and some good, upbeat music is necessary for those windows-down evening drives, or a day by the pools. So, I’ve tried to keep this week’s mix a little more up-tempo… tried. So it’s not exactly a summer-theme or anything, but just a small change of pace from what I’ve been including on the mixtapes lately.
If you’re looking for a summer mix though, a couple of my fellow music bloggers have done just that. Check out these posts for their summer mixtapes:
I Am Fuel You Are Friends: Welcome Summer
The Late Greats: 2008 Summer Mix
Some Velvet Blog: Summer’s Here And The Time Is Right
Tracklisting:
Adem - Oh My Lover
Albert Hammond, Jr - GfC
