Copperfield Mix

Last week I put the finishing touches on the following mix.  I’m really proud of this one.  It’s got some really rocking grooves, a mix of new tunes and old familiars, and flows pretty nicely from one song to the next … if I do say so myself!

My Copperfield Mix

I’ve really been impressed by some of the covers Lissie has put together recently, and Foxy Shazam still has to be my favorite find of 2010.  The Checks have a fun new album out as well, and jumping on their bandwagon now gives you the chance to say “I knew about them back when …” in a year or two when they eventually blow up.

New Mixes

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.

1. The Born Ruffians – I Need a Life
2. The Avett Brothers – Kick Drum Heart
3. Cloud Cult – Journey of the Featherless
4. The Envy Corps – Rhinemaidens
5. The Tough Alliance – Something Special
6. Glas Vegas – Go Square Go
7. The Magnetic Fields – California Girls
8. David Byrne and Brian Eno – Strange Overtones
9. My Morning Jacket – Dancefloors
10. The Last Shadow Puppets – Age of the Understatement
11. The Dodos – Fables
12. 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.

1. Radiohead – Palo Alto
2. The Notwist – Pick Up the Phone
3. Lali Puna – Bi-Pet
4. Yazoo (or Yaz) – Mr Blue
5. Datarock – Computer Camp Love
6. The Notwist – One With the Freaks
7. Hot Chip – The Warning
8. Imogen Heap – Hide and Seek
9. Q Lazzarus – Goodbye Horses
10. The xx – Islands
11. Boards of Canada – Dayvan Cowboy
12. Air – Alone in Kyoto
