SoulMix1208

Playlist.com didn't have a lot of these songs so the mix to the left is more of a random compilation of songs. But below is the December IMix featuring (as I noted in an earlier post) a lot of Rachael Yamagata and Kings of Leon. I haven't really given a listen to The Department of Eagles album yet but the few songs that I've heard are pretty good. Gaby Moreno is a local L.A. artist who all three people who read this blog should check out, if only to support people you've probably met before.

SoulMix Missing

I couldn't find a good SoulMix for this month, mainly because I've spent the last few weeks listening almost exclusively to Rachael Yamagata's new album and the latest from Kings of Leon. Here are the singles from the albums. "Elephants" isn't my favorite song on the album but it's solid. I wasn't blown away by either album at first listen but both are growing on me and getting better with every listen.

SoulMix 1008

Not my best work. But it's OK, I guess. You can listen to an extended mix by playing the playlist to the left. (Not all the songs are the same as some songs, like Work Is Never Done by The Futureheads, isn't available at Playlist.com)

SoulMix: 0908

This month's mix has a couple new bands (or, at least, new to me) and some old standards.

Heavy Rotation: Fort Hood

I was a little disappointed in Mike Doughty's last album and his new album. Golden Delicious, isn't going to reinvent the music world but it's got a good amount catchy songs. The first song on the album has grown on me (and will likely be on the 06 SoulMix) and I like the sentiment behind it. Doughty explains it fully on his myspace page (or, at least, in a bulletin he posted) and the jist is:
"Fort Hood" isn't exactly an anti-war song. It's more of a song about my own guilt for living life without thinking of the war every moment. I was invited by the USO to visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center in 2006; I went over and gave CDs to wounded guys, most of them in their 20s, most missing limbs. It was tremendously moving. As we left the hospital, I was thinking that I wanted to never lose that feeling I felt, of incredible gratitude for everything in life.
Fort Hood is the base in Texas that's lost the most people in Iraq and Afghanistan.

SoulMix: 0508

April was kind of a disappointing month and a disappointing mix has come out of it. Hopefully May will be a more inspirational.

SoulMix: 0308

This month's SoulMix is a bunch of instrumentals from film soundtracks and one ambient song from Brightback Morning Light. I usually listen to ambient stuff like this when I write and since this year is supposed to be dedicated to actually getting off my ass and getting back on my ass in front of my computer to write, I thought this mix would be a good reminder.

SoulMix: 0208

I'll admit it, I'm addicted to making mix CD's.  I know that's nothing to brag about but whatever.  Anyway, I decided to make a monthly sampler of 10 songs I've been giving heavy rotation.  This month features a rather poppy mix with 2 songs each from Paolo Nutini and Vampire Weekend.  Then again, there's also a song about a serial cannibal, a ditty about cocaine use, and a haunting tune from radiohead.  Anyway, you can check out the mix on ITunes. (click on the pic below in the upper left corner to go to ITunes to check out the mix)
