New muxtape
Jul 9, 2008 Music
I was inspired by kjames discovery of Elbow so wanted to put my favorite Elbow song on there. And then I had already uploaded Nadia so I stuck that on the end even though it doesn’t match. Also I wanted the Oren Lavie song on the Prince Caspian soundtrack (”Dance Around the Memory Tree”) but the good folks at iTunes won’t let you muxtape their music, (which just inspires some of us not to pay for our music through iTunes — I’m just sayin’). Now Little Dragon? I love them. I love that “Twice” song so much that sometimes I just sit around hitting repeat.
Now I must tell you that “Nadia” does NOT sound right unless you have a decent bass. There’s rounded looping-sounding bass that makes the song (well, that’s not true — her VOICE makes the song) and it sounds nearly ordinary if your system is all treble-y. I’m just sayin’. It’s worth hearing in all of its equallized glory. Her voice is supposed to sound like a river (it sounds like it to me) but Noah says she sounds like the wind.

Oh my blog is a precious thing to me! No matter what’s up, I can find someone who will console me or reprimand me or remind me of what’s really important. You buck me up, cheer me up, set me back up on my feet and send me on my way. Thank you. I’m feeling much less miserable and much more inspired today.
And so my gift to you, dear internets, is a muxtape. It’s like a mixtape only the magic of the world wide web makes it easier to share. You can find my muxtape here. And if there’s a song you dearly love, let me know and I’ll hook you right up. (I made the tape because I personally can’t stop replaying “To the Country” — first song on my mix, I mean mux.)
