October Mixtape



So...this mixtape really has little to do with October. Some of the songs are tracks that were just released this October, but the majority of them are songs that I've just been listening to a lot. But yeah, they don't sound "autumn-y" or anything like that, they're just really good songs that have been getting some playtime at SKwS Headquarters.

Here's the tracklist:

01 Casey Dienel - "Cut Your Hair" (Pavement cover)
02 Art Brut - "Nag Nag Nag Nag"
03 Pink Nasty (ft. Will Oldham) - "Dont Ever Change"
04 Albert Hammond, Jr. - "Hard To Live (In the City)" - It sounds pretty much exactly like old Strokes with a new vocalist. Is that a bad thing? I'm not entirely certain. It's fun retro-guitar pop.
05 Of Montreal - "The Party's Crashing Us" - Are these guys due to make an absolutley kick-ass album or what? They've been flirting with greatness for years now but haven't been album to make a consistent enough album that I could consider it awesome. New album due out soon; here's hoping.
06 Kim Jong-Il - "I'm So Ronery"
07 Lifter/Puller - "Space Humping $19.99"
08 Destroyer - "Watercolours into the Ocean"
09 Peter Bjorn and John - "Amsterdam"
10 Various - "Hater"
11 The Little Ones - "Lovers Who Uncover"
12 Nina Persson - "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" (White Stripes cover)

Sorry you guys for those songs not working. I am again un-hosted. Un parado, if you will. Regardless, here's the yousendit version of the .zip for this mixtape:

Also, I'm experimenting with a new host. Here's the Art Brut mp3 through them - tell me if it's working for you guys.
