Mixtape 4

More upbeat than last week. The composition of this mixtape does not follow my typical fast-slow-fast-slow progression, but instead it's an good example of when the parts are greater than the sum. I'm totally fine with that.

In other news I found out yesterday that Lifetime, my favorite hardcore band from high school, is not only playing several more reunion shows (they broke up in '97, but played three reunion shows this summer), but will play them in California. On January 29th (one day before my birthday) they'll be taking SF by storm at Slim's. I already secured 4 tickets. I'm counting down the days.




Mixtape 4
(Requires a Rhapsody subscription for full access)





1. Glosoli - Sigur Ros
Atmospheric with a mighty crescendo. Classic Sigur Ros.

2. Get Over You - The Undertones
My second favorite Undertones song. The hook is the rhythm section in the chorus.

3. September Gurls - Big Star
I wish I had this on 8-track.

4. In The City - The Jam
A classic 80s song from 1977.

5. What Do I Get? - The Buzzcocks
You might have recognized this one from a recent car commercial.

6. Moscow - Orange Juice
Rounding out a 5 song block from the 70s is this catchy instrumental.

7. For Real - Okkervil River
My pick for song of the week 8 months over due. Better late then never.

8. Broken Breads - New Pornographers
My favotie Dan Bejar track from Twin Cinema.

9. Sock Hop - All-Time Quarterback!
A gem from this mediocore album.

10. A Long December - Counting Crows
For no other reason other then it's december.
