winter 2009 mix


image source out with the in crowd

wow, its been a while since i uploaded any mixes to this blog, its been a busy summer but that's no excuse, i started this blog in an effort to upload a new mix every month, but i obviously have a problem with commitment...

anyway, i thought it would be quite nice and a little different, looking back over my last few posts, to upload some good old indie alternative music, and give the idm, electro, minimal, house scene a little break. this mix, i say mix, its more of a play list than a mix, is dedicated to some of my favorite US bands, the national, yeasayer, tv on the radio, cat power and tonnes more, these are some of the best bands i have ever had the privilege of listening to whilst staring out of the windows of buses, walking the dark streets of london on the way home, or generally just drifting in and out of sleep on a sunday afternoon thinking too much about nothing...

i hope you like my selection, i carefully picked out some of the songs that have soundtracked my life over the last few years, music just too good to ignore.

anyway, without any further ado, i give you, american splendor, my autumn/winter mix.
