Headphones Recommended: The 12.10.10 Soundtrack

It is no secret that I have many issues with iTunes and their iPod shuffle. A blog post all in itself for sure. However, every once in awhile the tracks that surface from the pool of 650 - 725 (limited to an 8GB phone unfortunately) are in sync w/ what I want/need to hear. This happened to me on 12-10-10. All but 5 tracks are essentially my porch smoking, bus riding, & walking soundtrack from the 10th. ...& of those 5 exceptions, 2 were from the 9th.

What I am truly excited about this particular compilation is all albums included were acquired w/n the last 2 weeks. Thanks to the SPL, I pick up 13-18 new albums a week. Not to mention, Amazon.com's MP3 store has dozens of free samplers from dozens of labels. Between those 2 sources, there has been plenty of new music to explore. Exploring that culminated into an incredible mix of music on the 10th.

It was a good day.


What you're listening too...
1) Dead Weather | Bone House | Horehound
2) Them Crooked Vultures | Interlude With Ludes | Them Crooked Vultures
3) Bright Eyes | Gold Mine Gutted | Digital Ash In A Digital Urn
4) Antlers | Epilogue | Hospice
5) Elbow | Not A Job | Cast Of Thousands
6) Massive Attack | Special Cases | 100th Window
7) Hacienda | She's Got A Hold On Me | Loud is the Night (From the Alive Records 2009 Sampler)
8) Honeychild Coleman | Never Goin' Home | Halo Inside (Come La Luna) (from the Boldaslove.us Presents: Fire In The Dark sampler)
9) Strokes | The Modern Age | Is This It?
10) Xx | Shelter | xx
11) Helio Sequence | Lately | Keep Your Eyes Ahead
12) Robyn Hitchcock | N.Y. Doll | Olé! Tarantula
13) Say Hi | Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh | Oohs & Aahs (from the Barsuk Records: 2009 Amazon Digital Sampler)
14) Dog Faced Hermans | Les femmes et les filles vont danser | Those Deep Buds
15) Twilight Sad | The Neighbours Can't Breathe | Forget the Night Ahead
16) Pinback | 3x0 | Summer In Abaddon
17) Camera Obscura | You Told A Lie | My Maudlin Career
18) Heavy Trash | That Ain't Right | Going Way Out With Heavy Trash
19) Metric | Raw Sugar | Grow Up and Blow Away
20) White Stripes | A Martyr For My Love For You | Icky Thump
21) Nada Surf | Blankest Year | The Weight Is A Gift

Just so you're warned, some songs contain words which people who don't live in the real world might find offensive. So if you don't like cuss'n, then don't listen.

Cheers!
