SUNDAY MUSIC MIX #1
May 07, 2008,
Written by The 405
Every *sunday we will be posting a 10 track mix tape for you to enjoy. For the most part it will be a collaborative effort from me and Aaron, but this week I'm gonna be the annoying kid in the common room that hogs the stereo.
This week's mix is quite a diverse motley crew of artists, ranging from Anticon based hip-hop all the way through to the finest indie band to come out of Birmingham in quite some time, so sit back, put some headphones on and listen to our favourite ten tracks of the week.
1. You'll Find A Way - Santogold
2. No Sunlight - Death Cab For Cutie
3. Eyes Wide Terrified - Johnny Foreigner
6. Wonderful People - Q And Not U
8. Sure We Had Knives Around - Don Caballero
10. Love Will Make A Better You - Love Live Life + One
A special thanks must be sent to the fine folks over at Daytrotter because half of the mix came courtesy of the great sessions they do.
* I realise it isn't sunday, but better late than never!!

Great mix, even if I do say so myself!

New MGMT is very Bowie-esque. [view article]

Yo Jake, where your review at, i'm curious! I think for me what made it stretch to 9/10 was teh fact it's really accessible and just occupies it's own little niche so well right now, I really can't think of a band with another recent release that I could compare them adequately to. Anyway, glad you liked it! [view article]

I love how everyone always forgets that this isn't the full lineup by a long shot and a good chunk of the best bands aren't usually announced straight away. [view article]

All three are worth a listen to be fair. I wouldn't have stretched quite as far as 9/10 (in fact, I didn't when I reviewed it elsewhere), but it is very good. Dusty Fruit is probably my favourite track (the early version of it, "Don't Trust the Dusty Fruit", is also very good!). [view article]
