Mixtape Vol. 2

April 28th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

When I started this project last week, I thought that I would be adding 4-5 songs a week of new material and the old songs would just fall off the end of the mix.  However, I somehow came up with 12 “new” songs and had to replace the entire list.  I say “new” because some of these songs definitely came out before some of the songs I posted last week.  Therefore, they aren’t all necessarily new since last week, but they are new to me and still pretty recent.
You can purchase this mix (or individual songs) from here: iconicon

  1. Ladytron – Burning Up
    Album: Velocifero    Ladytron - Velocifero
    This record isn’t due out until June but I found a good track on myspace and thought I would share.
  2. The SubmarinesYou, Me, & The Bourgeoisie
    Album: Honeysuckle Weeks    The Submarines - Honeysuckle Weeks
    Can’t recall where I first heard this song, but a really great track.  Due out mid-May.
  3. Nine Inch NailsDiscipline
    Album: The Slip    Nine Inch Nails - The Slip
    Free single compliments of Live 105.  Expect the full album in 2 weeks.
  4. Tokyo Police ClubYour English Is Good
    Album: Elephant Shell    Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell
    Really liked their last album and lots of people like their new album.  I think the new one sounds a bit monotonous.
  5. Flight Of The ConchordsBusiness Time
    Album: Flight Of The Conchords    Flight of the Conchords - Flight of the Conchords
    Absolutely hysterical comical duo that I first saw on Comedy Central and now they’re huge on HBO.
  6. Death Cab For CutieI Will Possess Your Heart (7 Edit)”
    Album: I Will Possess Your Heart (Limited Edition 7)”    Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs
    First single off their new CD.  These guys seem to be a love or hate band for most people.  I love them.
  7. Tapes ‘n TapesHang Them All
    Album: Walk It Off    Tapes 'n Tapes - Walk It Off (Bonus Track Edition)
    Saw these guys a couple years back and the opening band, Cold War Kids, went on to better things.  But Tapes ‘n Tapes is still making some good music.
  8. Cloud CultJourney Of The Featherless
    Album: Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes)    Cloud Cult - Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes)
    They remind me of The Flaming Lips and I really like this new CD. Apparently they have three previous discs that are even better.  They are going to be at Bottom of the Hill on May 13th if you like them.  I’ll be there.
  9. Gnarls BarkleyRun (I’m A Natural Disaster)
    Album: The Odd Couple    Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple
    Should have had this track last week.  Don’t know how I forgot it.  Good sophomore CD from this duo.
  10. ElbowGrounds For Divorce
    Album: The Seldom Seen Kid    Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
    Found this band through Filter.  I honestly don’t like the new CD, but this one track is pretty good.  Pretty cool website though.

  11. Sons & DaughtersDarling
    Album: This Gift    Sons & Daughters - This Gift
    Go Scotland!  Another band from Glasgow.  Heard this band a year or more ago on the radio. Their new CD is VERY good and a lot more mature than the last one.  They are going to be at GAMH on May 2nd and I’ll be there too.
  12. The Duke SpiritThe Step And The Walk
    Album: Neptune    The Duke Spirit - Neptune
    Heavily promoted band on Filter.  Decided to look into them and liked this song a lot.  Didn’t listen to anything else of theirs.
