Tracks

1. XTC - Dear God

I think it was John Lennon who said you can put whatever you want in a song as long as you sugarcoat it. I guess Andy Partrige took him at his word.

2. Billy Bragg - A New England

Billy Bragg doesn't get the credit he deserves. I really love the lyrics in this song.

3. Iggy Pop - The Passenger

Try not singing along to this song when you hear it. I dare you.

4. Nick Drake - Time Has Told Me

Was there ever a more evoctavie voice than Nick's?

5. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cheated Hearts

I didn't like Show Your Bones all that much but this song is great.

6. Broken Social Scene - Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl

Emily Hains has a very sexy voice.

7. Leonard Cohen - One of Us Cannot Be Wrong

I don't know if I've ever really got this song but it sounds cool.

8. Bad Religion - Los Angeles Is Burning

A really twisted hometown pick.

[UPLOAD COVER]

9. The Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane

The Velvet's write a pop song and somehow the world is still turning.

10. My Morning Jacket - Anytime

You know, for a bunch of space rockers from Kentucy, this song will not leave your head for weeks.

11. The National - Wasp Nest

File this under gorgeously tragic.

12. Bloc Party - Little Thoughts

I like the drumming on this song

13. Stars - On Peak Hill

I don't know how they write so many great melodys but I love them for it.

14. Carissa's Wierd - Low Budget Slow Motion Soundtrack Song for the Leaving Scene

I love this title.

15. Jens Lekman - Black Cab

This has such a cool folksy feeling to it, it's impossible not to love it.

[UPLOAD COVER]

16. sia - Breathe Me

This song is big, anthmeic and has strings. All from a singer with a really cool name.

17. The Decemberists - Of Angels & Angles

It's always nice to end a mixtape with a song about suicide. Especially a song as beautiful as this.

Staff picked track of the day

Brightblack Morning Light

Hologram Buffalo

"Recorded entirely under solar power," Brightblack Morning Light like things like tee-pees, headbands and most likely hallucinogenic drugs. More solar power to 'em. Their second album of slow motion hippie blues, Motion to Rejoin, is due September 23rd on Matador. [DOWNLOAD]

Rook

Consider Rook essential summer listening. Like your "Summer Reading" list, Rook isn't really "summer-y" at all. It's heavy, dense, dramatic and beautiful and dark. Four of those five adjectives actually DO apply to summer, come to think of it... - jimtarnation [READ REVIEW]
