2010 Communal Mix: Gambling With Souls!

This year has been a veritable roller-coaster ride of emotion on the RHMB, not that I would know since I'm rarely given over to sentiment or "feelings." Personal relationships can be chaotic, beast-like things, better left to the more swarthy races. It gets so confusing you never know just whom is doing what to whomever! One thing is for sure though, people do have opinions about music! What better way to get all these thinkings about musics out in the open where they can be debated, bitterly, leading to the shredding of friendships, than on a somewhat democratic list or "mix" of sorts? Also, as you can plainly make out from the picture, this path may also lead to waywardness and spotty morality ---> OR EVEN COMMUNISM.

Try this: track #, artist, title, (boardie who picked it):

1. Blank Dogs - Goes By (~Harri)
2. Sl**** B***s - Tell 'Em (Buck Sexington)
3. Antoine Dodson - Bed Intruder Song! (Okely)
4. Boy Eats Drum Machine - ABQ (Nymphadoratonks)
5. Oneohtrix Point Never - Stress Waves (rich)
6. Sex Bob-omb - Threshold (lindy lou who)
7. Säkert! - Dansa, fastän (pocki)
8. The Walkmen - Angela Surf City (Sarah Juice)
9. Electric President - Mr. Gone (Clarabelle)
10. Dum Dum Girls - Jail La La (hamdy)
11. Kitchen's Floor - Twenty-Two (witches hat)
12. Gonjasufi - Holidays (revilo)
13. Kurt Vile - Invisibility: Nonexistent (swan swan hum)
14. Small Black - Hydra (fradleybox)
15. Tunng - Hustle (The Grolsch)
16. Typhoon - Starting Over (Bad Habits) (strack)
17. The Bird And The Bee - Maneater (Romi & Wesley)
18. Tap Tap - Codeine (Completely Unhinged)
19. L** S********* - D*nce Yrs*lf Cl**n (really dizzy)
20. Beach House - Lover Of Mine (Miss Modular)

Thanks for submitting the tracks, folks! *MOST* of the songs are from 2010... most of them. Listening party @ 7PM EST this Friday but there might also be a mid-thursday one, around 1PM EST (and I should have a streamable version up by then).

~Harri

P.S. whoever gave me the Glenn Richards track I'm sorry. I didn't write down your name so I just left it off the mix. So in honor of this person, please reader, listen to Barfly Prometheus by Glenn Richards!
