I’ve had some fun lately putting together some new music mixes. What do you think of them?
Zombieland
I started this mix after seeing the movie. It’s a collection of the best of what I listened to in the fall of 2009. Links go to the song’s Last.FM page.
- The Born Ruffians – I Need a Life
- The Avett Brothers – Kick Drum Heart
- Cloud Cult – Journey of the Featherless
- The Envy Corps – Rhinemaidens
- The Tough Alliance – Something Special
- Glas Vegas – Go Square Go
- The Magnetic Fields – California Girls
- David Byrne and Brian Eno – Strange Overtones
- My Morning Jacket – Dancefloors
- The Last Shadow Puppets – Age of the Understatement
- The Dodos – Fables
- Julian Casablancas – 4 Chords of the Apocalypse
Update: I replaced songs 6 and 7 with Raphael Saadiq’s Never Give You Up and Elbow’s An Audience with the Pope, respectively. No knock on the previous songs, I just like the inclusion of these artists.
Slow Ride to the Digital Age
I started this mix a couple years ago when a friend asked for some recommendations for low-fi and downtempo electronic music. I’ve recently updated it.
- Radiohead – Palo Alto
- The Notwist – Pick Up the Phone
- Lali Puna – Bi-Pet
- Yazoo (or Yaz) – Mr Blue
- Datarock – Computer Camp Love
- The Notwist – One With the Freaks
- Hot Chip – The Warning
- Imogen Heap – Hide and Seek
- Q Lazzarus – Goodbye Horses
- The xx – Islands
- Boards of Canada – Dayvan Cowboy
- Air – Alone in Kyoto
