Some of these tracks have been around for a while (Alexandroid, RA the Rugged Man and Snowboy - actually one of the first albums I owned) mixed up with a bunch of newer numbers. Given that US Thanksgiving has just passed, I might as well go ahead and say it: I give thanks for all these artists plugging away in their respective genres. Hope you enjoy.

Shiela Chandra – Ever So Lonely ‘the ocean refuses no river’ love the line, not quite sure what the hell sheila chandra is on about. too much time on the ashram munching space cakes, if you ask me. Rockabye Baby – All Apologies apparently, according to spin, it’s 20 years since nirvana’s nevermind burst on the scene making grunge accessible to accountants everywhere. with the rockabye project those accountants now have suitable ammunition to send their grand kids to slumberland. Dan Deacon – Snookered dan deacon set himself out on a trajectory which severly limited his chances of appearing on ‘idol’ (american or otherwise). thankfully the good ship deacon still sails close to that arc. Santana – Jingo santana hits up jingo. a more tribal rendetion regales the quaint new-colonial ‘the endless summer‘ documentary. Tyler the Creator – Radicalz (NewFuture Remix) jazz, jazz, jazz. gutteral sax strapped to a military beat as amp live takes on tyler. The Smoking Time Jazz Club – Shake That Thing next up new orlean’s smoking time jazz band school us on shaking our thing… lessons take place regularly on street corners across nola. George Krantz – Din Daa Daa din daa daa… one of the weirder things to come out of the disco era. man vs drum kit. recently graced the dancefloor at oakland’s layover. Hollywood Holt, Million $ Mano – The Show so, who want’s to see the show? The Uma Uma Truth List – PEACE!!! shouty, gangly. Borgore – Sunsets (featuring Diplo) Very deceptive: from shoegaze to spaz-out. some could say grating. i say addictive. The Mountain Goats – Damn These Vampires don’t let this one get in your head. featured on the excellent Merge sampler available from those nice folk at Amazon. Memoryhouse – Lady Troisieme delicate ambient balladry. Another Green World – Another Green Waltz i never got to whirl-y-gig. this strange slab of woodwind makes me want to chalk this up on my list of regrets.

Why is everyone I listen to at the moment called Jamie? It's absurd. Favourite Jamie: Lidell. Is this guy getting the recognition he deserves or have I just not been paying attention (more likely)? Favourite track: Burial's version of Wayfaring stranger is strangely addictive. Favourite album: James Blake. Funnily enough I don't listen to it that much. It's almost like a painting in a museum; I admire it but that doesn't mean I always enjoy it. I bet it sounds amazing live though.

Nine+ months of expectation led to the fruitful delivery of what is now a wonderful smiling bundle of puke and poop. I can safely say I'm having a time like no other in my life. Other new adventures this year include a foray into the world of jazz following a trip to New Orleans. One rambunctious night turned us on to the new interpretations of an old time style courtesy of the Smoking Time Jazz Club and I've since been digging into the old style proper courtesy of Coleman Hawkins, amongst others. I say all this, but this mixtape installment goes in a wholly different direction dipping more into the world of indie-inflected dance music. I understand that this is the festive time of the year, but this one is more winter than Christmas. And it's not a best of 2010 compilation: that would be a major disservice to the bunch of tracks I received in December which I still haven't worked my way through. Kicking things off with the ultra-ambient tinkles of George Lenton, the mix moves into the more muscular direction of Kings of Tomorrow before dropping down a notch with White Hinderland's rendition of Timberlake's 'My Love'. Clicks and Whistles is an American outfit indicative of the new sounds coming out of the US. As you can probably tell by the occurrence of two tracks in this mix, I'm a fan of their Idiothouse EP. Other notable mentions are Peo de Pitte's reworking of Telepopmusik's Breathe (I'd urge you to check out the full version which I didn't have the courage to feature here) and the exciting direction Daft Punk have taken the movie soundtrack genre.
