Ridiculously addicting 1979 summer hit. Every bit as solid as “Cruel to be kind” which he helped pen with Nick Lowe.

I told Devin3000 I wasn’t putting the track list up because I think that my mix is better in person than on paper…I guess I think of it similarly to the question of vinyl vs. mp3…some may not listen to the mix all the way through in order, even though a large part of its construction is based on the transitions between the last few seconds of a song to the first few of the next- the particular silence created in between two songs, or the progression of a chain of chronological events. That somewhat cinematic aspect of mixes (or albums in general) can get lost in the format of blog/mediafire/iTunes, where we’re processing so many different things at once that we might just jump from mp3 to mp3 absentmindedly, not really paying attention to the music with the same appreciation/intent that the selector has. Though I suppose that might be too much to ask of someone these days, with everything so available and fast-paced…so here’s the track list anyway:
“Big Black Car” – Big Star
“Vessel” – Grouper
“Ceremony” – Galaxie 500
“Dirty Loverstuff” – Fanuelle
“Mild Confusion” – Tamaryn
“Be Right Too” - White Fence
“I Fought The Law” - Bobby Fuller Four
“Duelist” – True Widow
“Love Song For 15 Ontario (W/ Singing Police Car)” – Set Fire To Flames
“In Living Colour” - Lands & Peoples
“My Friend” - Bill Callahan
“Blue Moon” - Kendal Johansson
“Tatli Dilim” – Selda Bagcan
“Atlantis” - Kate Bush
SLEEP ∞ OVER "Outer Limits"
Still trying to get my musical bearings in place after a fire tore through my house and left me with little more than a pair of boots and jacket. Mostly bummed that I lost a mix that I’d been working on for the better part of a month. From ashes, etc.
Mostly excited about a show I have in the works with Pure Ecstasy / SLEEP ∞ OVER / RANGERS. More on that best of summer shows line-up soon. Sooooooooo excited for it.
In the meantime, check out this new SLEEP ∞ OVER track from their latest 7″

Love this track, perfectly fits the manic SF weather of warm days and frigid nights we’ve been having.
I’ve also been digging this new Ariel Pink b-side from Before Today that I think is one of his strongest tracks from his more recent stuff.

Has a more laid back Kokomo kind of vibe, perfect 1970 acoustic summer jam.
Arch M : Land Huxt
Thank god for the arrival of this new Arch M E.P. I must have played the teaser for it over fifty times since we first posted it back in December. Best news of all is that it’s completely FREE. Head over to his website to download it in full. Listening to it is like watching light aperture through leaves of light projecting down onto a canvassed roof morning in the California sun.
