Headphones Recommended: The Facebook Comp

Since the end of September of last year, thanks to the SPL, I have been able to begin catching up on 10 years of missed music collecting. Throughout November & December, I infrequently "subjected" my Facebook friends to a series of YouTube music videos. Each music video featured a favorite new (to me) artist discovery. Unlike the 12.10.10 Soundtrack (which features new music from the prior 2 weeks), these musical discoveries were acquired from October thru December...though I am still loving the artists on both this and the 12.10.10 comps.

Without further ado, here is the collection of the Facebook posts:



Playlist
1) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club | Took Out a Loan | Baby 81
2) Yeah Yeah Yeahs | Zero | It's Blitz
3) Silversun Pickups | Well Thought Out Twinkles | Carnavas
4) The Raveonettes | Heart Of Stone | In And Out Of Control
5) The Maldives | Goodbye | Listen To The Thunder
6) The Dutchess & The Duke | Scorpio | Sunset / Sunrise
7) Arctic Monkeys | Brianstorm | Favourite Worst Nightmare
8) A Place To Bury Strangers | To Fix The Gash In Your Head | A Place To Bury Strangers
9) The Blackwater Fever | Better Off Dead | Sweet Misery
10) Les Savy Fav | Brace Yourself | Let's Stay Friends
11) Metric | Help, I'm Alive | Fantasies

12) Yeasayer | 2080 (Live At KEXP v4 version) | All Hour Cymbals
13) Au Revoir Simone | Trace A Line | Still Night, Still Light
14) Spoon | You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb | Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
15) The Cave Singers | Dancing On Our Graves | Invitation Songs
16) Tegan & Sara | The Cure | Sainthood

17) We Were Promised Jetpacks | Quiet Little Voices | These Four Walls
18) The Black Keys | Psychotic Girl | Attack & Release
19) Hillstomp | Poor Black Mattie | After Two But Before Five

Some songs contain cuss'n. If it offends, don't listen.

Cheers!

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!
