Dan Deacon - Snake Mistakes
interesting…a nice combo of rock and electronic. i could listen to more of this and not be bored.

Battles - Leyendecker
overtones of an instrumental NIN song…only funkier.

Awesome New Republic - Wheels, No Engines
can’t help it, the guy’s voice reminds me of TMBG…

Circlesquare - Fight Sounds, Part 1
ok. just ok. nothing exciting.

A plus D - Standing In the Way of Connection
i’m still a sucker for a good mashup, and this is excecuted well. and i love beth’s voice on this song. doesn’t get old.

The Changes - When I Wake
…lame sounding plinky-plonky intro give way to excellent 80’s-college-radio-alternative sounding pop. nice choice. not obvious. this one’s new to me. i like.

YACHT - Summer Song
i dig this in the same way i dig stuff like hot chip and zongamin…funky, disco-y, danceable. i’d like to get more of this stuff and dj a whole set of it…

Bromheads Jacket - Trip to the Golden Arches
first thought: “whoa…the ‘my united states of whatever’ guy has a british accent in this song!” then i thought…”The Streets goes indie.”

Robyn - Konichiwa Bitches
i swear i heard this song like 2 years ago…i guess this just got released in the u.s. this year?

Mickey Avalon - Jane Fonda
just fun. the whole album is pretty decent.

Snowden - Dreams
eh. doesn’t really excite me. i mean, i like the song, but i’m not much for the vocals on this version.

The Gap Band - Early In The Morning
classic. that bass is just MONSTER.

The Postmarks - Goodbye
i like it…reminds me of The Cardigans a little bit. are they scandinavian?

Camera Obscura - Suspended From Class
belle and sebaistan had children. they made this song. twee as a motherfucker. but not bad.

Beat Radio - Treetops
knowing nothing about them, i’d guess they’re from the pacific northwest, and listened to a lot of K Records’ output. i’m wrong, of course, but that’s the mental image.

Architecture in Helsinki - Maybe You Can Owe Me
i’m not diametrically opposed to super-hipster darlings, but i just can’t get really into this. to my ears, it lacks something.

Chris Garneau - Between the Bars
very pretty melody, very pretty voice, and some good, simple lyrics. wait…that’s a dude?

Blitzen Trapper - Wild Mountain Nation
not bad at all. i like all the different aspects of this…southern rock/blues filtered through zeppelin, with a healthy dose of mudhoney thrown in as well…nice closer!

all in all, a very solid debut by a promising young DJ!! well done, ma’am.
