OK, the heading may just about make sense for the Anitpodeans amongst you, otherwise you may sense that the timing is slightly off. And you’re right – this mix got buried for around 6 months and just surfaced on a road trip down Highway 101 somewhere north of LA.

Still, there’s peach tracks from some big hitters including Kings of Leon, Oasis (back on form), The Kills, Cold War Kids and genre-bending Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. What you waiting for? Dive in now!

Revolution (feat. Lyrics Born & the Mamaz) – J. Boogie’s Dubtronic Science
I Want You – Kings of Leon
U.R.A. Fever – The Kills
Bam – Atmosphere
Welcome To The Occupation – Cold War Kids
High Horse Lady – Oasis

In a perhaps fortuitous computing error, the twisted R&B parody from the Flight of the Conchords crew (the P-Funkiest ‘Business Time’) didn’t like being on the mix, so it’s tacked on the end.

Back to the grind

thug wife — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 12:42:54 +0000

I had a little (some might say tres longue) break from posting, but I’m back in. My job has little to offer at the moment so may as well use my time more creatively.

Had a tip on this site: http://www.pandora.com/ internet radio that lets you choose artists you like then it chooses others in the genre. easy to use, no downloading player blah blah.

Alors, my post this month includes some gems from around the blog and tunes rediscovered – mainly on the indie, low-fi, groove bound tip.

With a little 1999 – DJ Reset
You Made It – Dj Shadow
Black_Swan – Thom Yorke
Working Class Hero – John Lennon
A Method – TV on the Radio
Sisters – The Changes
Pull Shapes – The Pipettes
Solarsphere -White Flight
After The Gold Rush – The Flaming Lips
Pinned Together, Falling Apart – The Dears
Good Woman – Chan & Marshall
