~~Harri's Old As The Hills 2013 Mix!!

Reality. We must all face it. We're getting older, fatter (or disgustingly thinner), uglier (especially you, ugh! you!) and our taste in music is getting worse. We like things that old people like: light rock, mild jazz, TV theme songs, crap our kids listen to, etc. It is depressing and WRONG, and you should feel shame. But *I* obj still like cool stuff, so here's a 2013 mix of cool people music that I made for you and me to enjoy.:

1. Cheap Time - Spark In the Chain (3:52)
2. Pharmakon - Pitted (5:59)
3. Ben Khan - Eden (2:32)
4. Cate Le Bon - No God (4:36)
5. Psychic Ills - FBI (3:31)
6. Boards Of Canada - Cold Earth (3:42)
7. Broadcast - The Dormitory Window (0:58)
8. The New Lines - The Frog Whisperer (3:16)
9. Thee Oh Sees - No Spell (4:24)
10. Glenn Jones - Across the Tappan Zee (3:26)
11. My Bloody Valentine - If I Am (3:54)
12. Benoît Pioulard - Reliquary (3:02)
13. Bill Callahan - Ride My Arrow (4:58)
14. Yo La Tengo - Stupid Things (5:07)
15. Fuzz - What's In My Head (3:54)
16. Föllakzoid - 99 (9:05)

I will try and work on a stream of some kind, but for now let's enjoy the novelty of the ancient non-Spotify "mp3 mix" that I made you.

P.S. head over to VLTF for some healthy, nude, sword-wielding, nostalgia.

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!!

Harris Tapeworm 2011!

The person I made my tapetrade for shares with me a loves for music made by differents, them what speak and act different, so I did some of that.

Harri's First Half of 2011 Mix!

the hat

I've been a little busy the last few months and haven't had the time to incorrectly tag mp3 files, upload them to hit-or-miss virus-ridden file-sharing sites, and then write up confusing meme-filled ramblings about everything except the music you're being told to listen to. What's a music?

But anyway, if you have NEVER downloaded a FIRST HALF OF XXXX mix, then now is the time to do so as this is a fine bunch of songs. Listen. Emotions will scald you like a blistering hot shower of raw sentiment and overwhelming feelings. What's left of you will be quivering in a puddle of tears, hemorrhaging confusion and overtaken with the regret that your life up to this moment has been meaningless. I promise, bro.

Tracklist:

1. The Luyas - Too Beautiful To Work (3:41)
2. Wax Idols - All Too Human (3:01)
3. Leno Lovecraft - Cybernetic (4:00)
4. Sic Alps - Do You Want To Give $$? (2:44)
5. Sands Hollow - Watch Yourself (2:25)
6. Warpaint - Undertow (Javelin Remix) (3:05)
7. Young Prisms - Eleni (3:45)
8. John Maus - Quantum Leap (2:48)
9. The New Lines - Please Fall In Love (3:21)
10. Belong - Never Came Close (4:13)
11. Golf Swingers - It Fight (2:15)
12. Rayon Beach - Death Rides a Horse (2:19)
13. Moon Duo - Fallout (5:30)
14. Vivian Girls - Death (2:46)
15. Peaking Lights - Summertime (5:13)
16. The Fresh & Onlys - Wash Over Us (3:39)

Before you get all uppity like "it's only MAY JEEEEZUUUSSS WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU STUPID" it's been almost exactly six months since I posted my best of 2010 mix so stop being mean to me. Listening party NEXT Saturday 14th at 7PM EST! Soundcloud stream this time, I swear (and maybe an LP this weekend if people are interested.)

~Harri

P.S.(A.): Since this blog has been hawking The New Lines til readers' ears have bled, I think that a little spam is in order: go here and buy their first 7" single (one song of which is on this mix).

Harri v. Grolsch: [Mostly] 2011 So Far Mix!

As you can tell from both the title and the picture, there is a little combativeness going on in this mix. Most of you are aware of the bitter, bitter relationship between Grolsch and I. He's wrong about things (like thinking "documentaries" aren't really "movies") and I hold silent grudges against him for this (that last for years). See? Bitter. But hey, he was like "why don't we make a mix together?" and I saw this for the opportunity to exploit that it is! So the first eight tracks are from me, some of my harsher more Mudd E. Production favorites of this year, and then 9-18 are pure Grolsch picks, full of things like "melody" and "understandable lyrics" that the editorial staff of this blog has historically shunned. What I'm trying to say is that Grolsch is good people. ♥ Now for the music:

~Harri
1. Seefeel - Airless (5:41)
2. Trust - Candy Walls (4:40)
3. Krang - Speed of Tent (3:41)
4. Dead Gaze - Somewhere Else (4:11)
5. Fungi Girls - Velvet Days (3:18)
6. Girlfriends - Cave Kids (2:30)
7. Wett Nurse - Imperial Reaction (2:04)
8. Sun Araw - December (6:29)

Grolsch
9. James Blake - I Never Learnt To Share (4:50)
10. Braids - Plath Heart (4:26)
11. Ben + Vesper - Understruggle; Yay, Win (3:26)
12. PJ Harvey - On Battleship Hill (4:05)
13. Kurt Vile - Peeping Tomboy (4:24)
14. Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside - Not an Animal (3:01)
15. Crystal Stilts - Precarious Stair (3:11)
16. Tune-Yards - Gangsta (3:58)
17. Dry The River - New Ceremony (4:14)
18. Young Galaxy - Peripheral Visionaries (3:36)

P.S. SORRY REV!

Morr Mix ('99 to '05)!

Bohm
For those five years Morr could do little wrong in my eyes (after, the story isn't so much the same, meh). For an IDM music label that's mostly known for instrumental stuff, this mix is heavy on vocals because -> it's heavy on the Blue Skied and Clear compilation which is -> heavy on vocals cuz it's mostly Slowdive covers.

1. Future 3 - Alison (3:11)
2. Solvent - Discontinued Parts (Instrumental Mix) (4:02)
3. Opiate - For Brian Alfred (4:16)
4. Lali Puna - Call 1-800-FEAR (3:24)
5. Populous - Ent-The Dexo (4:42)
6. The Notwist - Scoop (3:28)
7. Styrofoam - Altogether (3:57)
8. Ms. John Soda - By Twos (5:49)
9. Isan - Fullen Brimm (3:25)
10. Manual - It'll Be Fine (4:51)
11. Múm - Please Sing My Spring Reverb (5:20)
12. Kevin & Paul - Tonka Truck Rmx (5:12)
13. B. Fleischmann - Slope (4:26)
14. Ulrich Schnauss - Wherever You Are (6:38)
15. Phonem - War By Other Means (4:37)

Someone once said to me "you really like Broadcast" and this was true. To show this appreciation I put together a compilation of some of my favorite live material (mostly FM or Soundboard quality) of theirs and thought I'd share it. Broadcast brings a lot of spazzy synth energy to their live performances especially for the first decade (this mix covers from '96 to '05). Anyway, enjoy! [ATP = All Tomorrow's Parties.]

Harri's First Half of 2010 Mix!

2010 is the year we've all learned something about ourselves. We learned that politics is all fun and games until they are racist (but my tax return sure isn't racist! wahey!) We had fun watching live bands with friends (who we secretly hate). Most of us lost our jobs where we drank for free all day without a care in the world. Some of us didn't graduate from school nor ever will. But while contemplating these terrible things it's nice to have a soundtrack. I present to you the First Half of 2010 Mix (a month early you say? better to get the drop on all those other blogs doing "first half" mixes! haw! NERDS!)

This mix is meant to piggyback off the Anonymous Mix, New Life In The Blast Zone below (I tried not to duplicate stuff). How about a listening party for this next week WEDNESDAY the 19TH @ 7PM EST!

Harri's Best of 2009: Art E. Mix!

Harri is me, by the way. This has been a great year for music, I think. These are 18 tracks from all but two of my favorite albums (or maybe from singles or something) this year. I left off Roman Soldiers and Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti because the former was redundant and the second was kind of a "greatest hits" album but not really so whatever. But I love them all the same.

01 - Thee Oh Sees - Tidal Wave (3:43)
02 - Here We Go Magic - Fangela (5:30)
03 - Fresh & Onlys - Feelings in My Heart (2:53)
04 - Broadcast & The Focus Group - I see, So I see So (2:08)
05 - Gary War - Clean Up (4:00)
06 - The Mantles - Don't Lie (3:42)
07 - Ganglians - Lost Words (4:17)
08 - FRAET - Another Way To Answer (4:08)
09 - Tonstartssbandht - Black Country (3:29)
10 - Atlas Sound - Sheila (3:32)
11 - Tim Hecker - Pond Life (1:24)
12 - Gnonnas Pedro Et Ses Panchos - Okpo Videa Bassouo (3:30)
13 - Blank Dogs - Slowing Down (3:11)
14 - Matthew Dear & Seth Troxler - Hurt (6:06)
15 - Crystal Stilts - Love Is A Wave (2:01)
16 - Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms (4:05)
17 - TeePee - Purgatory (2:18)

A streamable version and date for a listening party will be up when I can get those kinds of things sorted out.

Hope you enjoy! (if you do, drop me a note)

P.S. who care!

FUCK YOU JOE LIEBERMAN! (a mix)

Seriously, folks! I'm pissed (RE: public option and "filibustering", just google that mess, I can't bear to link to the horribleness). So pissed, in fact, that I felt I needed to share a mix of songs where, through twisted logic, you can dance and sing along and pretend they're all about how shitty of a person Joe Lieberman is and you can do some soul searching to understand just HOW shitty he is (spoilerz: he's VERY shitty.) I'll delete any pro-Lieberman comments and ban people in the chatbox that disagree with me, by the way, so... just go somewhere else if you're not in the Joe Lieberman Hate Club.

01 - The Creation - How Does It Feel To Feel (3:39)
02 - The K*nks - Brainwashed (15:42)
03 - DEVO - Mongoloid (3:45)
04 - R*lling St*nes - Play With Fire (2:13)
05 - Jay Reatard - Puppet Man (1:43)
06 - J*m* Hendr*x - Hey Joe (3:30)
07 - The Monks - Shut Up (3:14)
08 - T*m Wa*ts - Table Top Joe (4:13)
09 - Ugly K*d Joe - I Hate Everything About You (4:25)
10 - Les Chantels - Shaggy Baggy Joe (2:32)
11 - little willie & the adolescents - get out of my life (2:12)
12 - .45 Grave - Fucked By The Devil (3:02)
13 - Unbekannter Kbnstler - I Throw Punches... (3:30)
14 - Blind Willie McTell - You Got To Die (3:13)
15 - Zones - Stuck With You (2:34)

Harri's 80s Retrospective Volume 3 Mix!

I threw together a third 80s mix (the first two are here), and I swear I would have had it ready sooner but I dunno... it was just MISSING SOMETHING and luckily I got turned on to a few really good bands in the last month from that decade so I could finish. But enough about me (boring), here's the music! It's a nice mix of upbeat cheese, synthyness, sad moaning, and strutting.

01 - Slow Children - Too Weak To Eat (3:01)
02 - Fools Face - Maiden U.S.A (2:17)
03 - Romeo Void - Shake The Hands of Time (3:20)
04 - Passionate Friends - Whats The Odds (4:22)

07 - Delmontes - Ga-Ga (2:57)
08 - The Great Unwashed - Boat With No Ocean (2:56)

10 - Trees - Delta Sleep (3:43)
11 - Shox - No Turning Back (2:50)
12 - Commercials - Simon (2:18)
13 - Land of Giants - Canibal Dolls (3:29)

15 - Pylon - Functionality (4:28)

Listening party is scheduled for next Sunday (the 12th) at 9 PM EST! and we're going to follow this mix with the megaMIX, music made by RHMBers, that is (from a different decade, though a good chunk of them were produced in the 80s, so maybe that counts OR SOMETHING). Just add the megaMIX to the end of the playlist.

download the megaMIX mp3!

fun!

Harri

P.S. streamable version will be up before Sunday!
