The Return of Headphones Recommended

After a 3 month hiatus (partially planned/partially unintended) I present to y'all the first of the 2nd stage of music compilation webcasts. This one is intended to be like the very first Headphones Recommended entry, Fave songs From Fave Bands, but with a much, much bigger pool to choose from. Yep, I've procured a lot of music over the past few months. So much so, that there is way more music than I care to admit which I have yet to listen to.

The plan is to publish these a little more intensely than in the past (ultimate goal is weekly). So stay tuned, believe me, this is only the tip of the iceberg.



Tracklist:
1. Ben Harper | Burn One Down | Fight For Your Mind
2. The Spinanes | Kid In Candy | Arches And Aisles
3. Wye Oak | Regret | If Children
4. Xx | Night Time | xx
5. The National | Conversation 16 | High Violet
6. Surfer Blood | Slow Jabroni | Astrocoast
7. Jaymay | Gray Or Blue | Autumn Fallin'
8. Fanfarlo | I'm A Pilot | Reservoir
9. The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart | Belong | Belong
10. Thao & Mirah | Little Cup | Thao & Mirah
11. Spearhead | Rebel Music (3 O'Clock Roadblock) | Chocolate Supa Highway
12. Gorillaz | November Has Come | Demon Days
13. Freelance Whales | Starring | Weathervanes
14. Two Loons for Tea | Blood For Sugar | Looking for Landmarks
15. Mumford & Sons | I Gave You All | Sigh No More
16. Controller.Controller | Rooms | X-Amounts
17. Darker My Love | Blue Day | 2
18. Dead Confederate | The Rat | Wrecking Ball
19. TV On The Radio | Caffeinated Consciousness | Nine Types Of Light
20. Parliament | Unfunky UFO | Mothership Connection

Warning: if you don't like cuss'n, then 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.

2) Them Crooked Vultures | Interlude With Ludes | Them Crooked Vultures

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.
