Harri's INEVITABLE Best of 2011-2012 Mix!

Is the blog dead? No, it is just sleeping honey. Don't cry. But seriously, four posts in a year? We should be ashamed. I've been busy with jobs and schools and marathons of poorly-acted pre-CGI science fiction films, so it's not my fault. Maybe the blog needs more oomph? There's no law that says "mix" can't mean "cake mix." We could turn it into a baking blog because THOSE ARE HUGE RIGHT NOW. Or we could turn it into TUMBLR (haha, no). Anyway, I have new material for you:

1. Moon Duo - Sleepwalker (4:52)
2. Here We Go Magic - I Believe In Action (4:39)
3. The Dunes - Jukebox (3:22)
4. John Maus - Head for the Country (3:17)
5. Panda Bear - Slow Motion (4:36)
6. Belong - Perfect Life (4:29)
7. Sic Alps - The First White Man To Touch California Soil (2:38)
8. Trust - F.T.F (4:08)
9. The Luyas - Face (5:22)
10. Clark - Com Touch (4:23)
11. Rayon Beach - Some Fun Before We Die (3:23)
12. Vivian Girls - Take It As It Comes (3:00)
13. The New Lines - Prodigal Son (2:57)
14. Peaking Lights - Dream Beat (6:28)
15. Thee Oh Sees - Contraption/Soul Desert (5:21)
16. Bill Callahan - Riding For The Feeling (6:05)

http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/11416965/file.html

I don't think Bill Callahan would approve of me ending with Riding for the Feeling but ehhh I just wanted to (what can you follow that track with? nothing). LP tentatively scheduled for this SATURDAY NIGHT, DEC. 8TH @ 6PM EST!!

Post-Rock mix by Rich

 
Hmm...

I started off trying to make a list of THE 'post-rock' bits you need to hear, but the more I thought and fiddled about, the more I came to realise that I really didn't want to and couldn't come up with a list like that. It's too tricky and at the end of a day, the 'post-rock' genre is frankly stupid. It covers too much and too little at the same time. In a way it's the same with the whole 'punk rock' thing. I mean, I see Gods'pee as 'punk rock', but then so are The Stooges. It's not about the sound. But you know that.

So, this list is more a list of recommendations, and there are a few reasons why I really think they are important and wonderful pieces of music that can be stacked under the 'post-everything' title in a messy and wobbly pile.

 - Rich

01.  Swans - The Sound (live)
02.  Slint - Washer
03.  Hala Strana - Black Dust
04.  Labradford - Mas
05.  Mogwai - Like Herod
06.  Talk Talk - Desire
07.  Jesu - Tired of Me
08.  Flying Saucer Attack - For Silence
09.  Carlton Melton - Found Children
10.  Thisquietarmy - Battlefield Arkestrah
11.  Windy & Carl - The Same Moon and Stars
12.  Tortoise - Gamera

You can get this mix here or you can listen to a partial mix on spotify and you can read Rich's extended explanation regarding track choice/general listening footnotes in the comments below.

2011 Communal Ohh! Vankyvank Cumcum! Mix

As the days of our ability to share music dwindle down to only a handful (maybe this is what the Mayans were warning us about?) I feel even more guilty for taking so long to put together this 2011 Communal Mix. How long do we have? Minutes? Weeks? Hours? Let's make every circlejerky moment count, people! <(^) We had a big turnout for the communal mix this year, so I split it into two parts (though they should flow pretty well if you want to do one after the other). Below, the track number, the artist, the track title, then the length and the boardie who picked it. I didn't look too closely at release dates, so if someone picked something that really came out in 2010 mock them furiously.

Hope you enjoy!
