This one is quite mellow.. even the electronicky songs are kind of mellow. I suppose I’m in a mellow mood or something. And the other thing I noticed is how many covers are on this one. Maybe it’s cuz I just saw Joan As Police Woman on her “Cover” album tour. (Check out the CD that she signed for me). Anyway, there are a ton of covers on this mix — definitely check out “I Want You To Want Me,” it’s a great version. And yes, there are two Phoenix songs on this mix, breaking a cardinal rule that I have (don’t repeat artists on an album), but I also arguably have the same Radiohead song twice (Jack Conte and Vampire Weekend) and that’s an even bigger rule I’ve broken. But, rules are made to be broken, so whatever.
And yes, it’s that Scarlett Johansson.. Her new cd is.. ok. I blame Anna’s review for me buying her cd, but I like that track.
I was just chatting with Masnick last night about how much frikkin’ good music is coming out lately. I mean, I consume a lot of music as it is, but with sites like The Sixty One, RCRD LBL and Hype Machine, it’s getting easier to find awesome new music (and with SonicLiving, easier to see them live). Anyway.. this year has been awesome so far for music.
Next up.. the 2009 xmas cd.. I know you are waiting for it with bated breath.
