yikes, dudes

here comes a slew of s***. It's been a while and as always I've been lazy. I've had these ready for a few weeks now and thusly some of the newer tracks might already be played out. Hey, let's hope not. Anyhow, no more talkie.

additionally, i've switched to a new uploading format with my webspace. What does this mean for you? No more mediafire!

Chess!




Wild Westerners




Animal Farm





enjoy!

as always, comments/hate mail enjoyed!

Oh Savage Delight/We Live Here Now

I started making a mix about 3 weeks ago. It was a mixture of the two. I got fed up with it and decided to seperate them into electronic/synth and rock/whatever. The covers were inspired by a recent camping trip to Reelfoot Lake in northwestern Tennessee.

Favorites for me are Correcto, Xylos, Golden Silvers, Bill Callahan, Grandpaboy, and Warpaint on Oh Savage Delight.



Regarding We Live Here Now, both Jogger tracks, HEALTH, Au Revoir Simone, and "Seaweed" from Clark.



I generally like all the tracks, but those are merely my faves. As always, lemme know what you like/dislike/meh.

I love you all. Goodnight.

P.S. I f*cking love spring. I didn't catch a single fish while at Reelfoot, but I really loved the weather/camping/fire building.

P.P.S. If you have some 3-d glasses(which I don't), check out the Creature from the Black Lagoon on the Oh Savage Delight cover and let me know if the 3-d imagery works.

Ciao.

Lady Face & Me

I made this mix weeks and weeks ago(same old story, i know) and even upped an early version of it. I just never made art for it. Finally I did so today and while upping the revamped version, I began making a new one. I know this is not a good trend for me to be getting in to. Putting out multiple mixes at one time isn't fair to you, the listener. So, I apologize. This may be the last time haha. Maybe not. We'll see. anyhow, I present

Lady Face




and

Me




enjoy

and as always, comments are enjoyed and appreciated.

Dem For the Win or Truck in a Tree(oh shit)

A double dose. I had a mix all prepped, but then quit my job and left town for about 10 days. Went to DC and got a new president there. Got back and promptly got ill. I threw out the old mix that I had ready and made 2 whole, new ones.
They're dandy. Hope you like. Plenty of new and old artists to feast on and derive pleasure from.

Without further typing, Dem For the Win and Truck in a Tree(oh shit)









I came really close to not including the Animal Collective song, as almost everyone and their cousin has been talking around it. I'm excited to say that I'll be seeing them in June, finally. I feel these are two strong mixes. Find out for yourself. As always, comments are adored.

The Three(as promised)

Well, I promised a bevy of mixes and here they are. As always, click the pictures for the link download.

The First is a gratuitous mix based off of the word "Fuck". It's called For Those About To Fuck(We Salute You). I think you(the viewer/listener) will enjoy it as much as I have. It's a mixture of raucousness and rap.





The following two are based on a 3 day span including Yesterday and Today, then Tonight and Tomorrow. It's dumb, but I wanted to try it out. :P

Here is Yesterday and Today. I feel that you'll know at least some of the artists if you frequent my blogs.





and finally, here is Tonight and Tomorrow!





Enjoy! I robbed the images from http://morbidanatomy.blogspot.com/ which is truly fantastic. Scroll down and find the Panda! Aaaaaaah

as a late christmas/happy new year gift I'll be upping 3 new mixes over the course of this week. All three are themed(it's been a while).

No Funny Business

To anyone hating rock music before 1970, sincerest of apologies for the first handful of tracks on this mix. One day last week, I had a huge day of rock flashbacks from my childhood and felt the need to download as much 50s and early 60s rock as I could remember. I actually made a mix of nothing but that, but then wondered who would download it..(although if any of you want it, shoot me a message). Beyond there I extend into a Breeders track taken from another failed mix of mine. It was to be a "Divine" mix with all of the songs being about, having within the title, or referencing God or Satan. I scratched that idea. I do have 2 themed mixes that will be coming out soon though. Another divine track being the Violent Femmes track. The Bird track is from his forthcoming album. AS yet only terrible rips have made it to the internet without being shut down. Hope you can get past the crappy quality to hear the beauty(if you like old an. dr. ew anyhow...name split for fear of being shut down by the web marshal...i shit you not. there is an entity out there pa[trolling] the net that is actually called such). New Bon Iver, as well as new music from a crew of others(some new to me, some not so). Anyhow, as always, I hope you enjoy this.





lemme know what you think.

The Snelste

Snelste means quickest in Dutch according to babelfish, which has failed me often. I'll accept it though. I'm releasing this mix faster than I regularly would because I feel the need to make up for lost mixes of yore. I hope you enjoy it. I like the first track quite a bit. The Rosebuds are an odd little band from NC. The mix starts off strongly with rock music before dipping into more electronic zones, then re-emerging into obscurity through public image ltd and pere ubu(justin inspired me to re-listen to these 2 bands), then into newer bands once more. The final track from Dinamoe was ripped from Matthew Dear's much longer Body Language mix. I find it very relaxing and beautiful though. It helped me overcome a serious hangover one afternoon. Anyhow, without further jawing...




Hope you enjoy!

The Not So Incredible Hulk

The Not So Incredible Hulk that could.





Welcome back, folks. I present a mix of magnificent proportion. A much better return to form than my previous endeavor. Enclosed within, one will find mystic wonders to shake the dreariest of asses, to the rock the deadest of socks, and cheer up people like, well, me. African pop covers, coked out barbies, bands you've never heard of! and some you probably(maybe?) have! Check out "Brooklyn" and try not to smile. I dare you. anyhow, hope you enjoy. It's spastic and wonderful, as per usual. *starts off slow and then head butts you with happiness/sheer terror at the guttural growls of Alicja Trout(Black Sunday) and beyond*

Love,
Team FAGL(really only one dude, but every other blog says team this or team that, so why can't I be a team too?)

The Giant One

It's a big return. It really is. Been a long time since I posted a mix. I've had it ready. Just needed some pushing from a friend to get it the hell out. Since my hospital stay, I've enjoyed several affairs with varied artists' discographies and wanted to reflect as such here. This final version has gone through about 9 changes in draft. Enough of the side talk.





every track is standout(except some of the electronic ones...I doubt they stand out to me after 3 or more months). I hope you think so too. Comments are always loved, even if they're lambasting ones.
To show some bias though, my favorites are Fucked Up, Compulsive Gamblers, J-Live, Women, Gang Gang Dance, Wax Fang, and Hot Chip. I laughed at myself for presenting 3 totally differing kinds of hiphop tracks side by side by side.

The Six

dear Friends, countrymen, strangers, internet fiends, and lovers,

I apologize for the wait on the next mix. I have it ready, but...I am making you wait. I was in the hospital for a while but am now back at home. Anyhow, I present 6 albums that I feel more people should hear. Additionally, I feel a few of them are hard to find on the internet. I had trouble when I did searches for them over the past year or so. Without further ado, I present the Six.

No Cover 2 or Xmas + 5

The Xmas + 5 only has bearing in relation to the original picture. It was called XMAS 5 and is from Thailand. But I'm not here to talk about beatles or John Mccain. I really like this mix. I feel it's pretty solid. Lots of new sounds/bands to sink your teeth into. I've listened to it a whole lot. As I stated in my previous post, I've been quite hurt lately. I should get better soon and be able to do more. Until then, enjoy this and let me know what you think.

sorry for being almost a week late. i have had a new mix completed, but i injured my lower back pretty badly last weekend and am just now able to sit at my computer semi-comfortably again(thanks to physical therapy). i'll have it up before Tuesday. :D

Tomato Server

Hello all,

Please forgive my almost week long tardiness in posting this. I uploaded it in time for posting oin Tuesday, then proceeded to forget to actually write this. In any case, I present Tomato Server.





Lots of tasty bits here. Hopefully you dig this one more than the last, Arjan. Hope all is well wherever you are.

NO COVER

I present to you NO COVER. it features many treasures! i never know what to say about these. Hopefully you like the non cover.





I will say this, "Little Dreamer" is my favorite track on it. hope you enjoy. as always, comments are loved.

Happy Anniversary

It's been a year of mixes and posts. Can't believe it. Has all passed by so quickly. I've made 2 best of the year mixes, but due to being pretty busy right now...they're gonna have to wait. I apologize, but this is going on:

It may be Monday or Tuesday before I get to them. At least I have them made, right?

Hope all's well. Been a year!!!

SPACE BABIES

I'm back. Sorry for the day late delay. Mediafire was being a not nice friend of FaGL last night and wouldn't complete the verification process while uploading this masterful piece of...ummm... alright enough ego stroking(and corny humor apparently). Lots of bass here. blah blah Indian Jewelry plays in Hot Springs in a few weeks and I'm seriously considering taking off work and driving the 3 hours to go. I can't believe they're playing there and not Little Rock or Memphis. The Polmo Polpo track is pure beauty. That's a hell of a Scot accent on the Reindeer Section. They feature a famous person or two. I'll let you look it up in great anticipation. Hope you're not annoyed by Warrior Queen being on the mixes two drops in a row. If so, well, skip them? Give the Bug and Skream a shot though. They both deserve it. Enjoy the remainder of summer.






(Thos Rabbits?? You're gonna have to wait until next mix for those rabbits. This mix features those robots that need freedom though...)

as always, comments are loved by me for every second that i read them!1!!!!1!

untitled

This mix is all over the place. I jacked a whole section of Diplo's Top Ranking mix, then added in a cut from his Fabric Live 24 as well(right after). Get ahold of Top Ranking if you can. I'm not a super fantastic Santogold fan, but I did quite enjoy this. I'll probably end up upping it. I've been enjoying some Ponytail. I hope that you will as well. They're...interesting. I'd like to meet the girl doing all of the barking. The Ghostface interlude is brilliant. hmm, Thanks to my friend Sam in Denver for the Siah + Yeshua dapoed. And thanks to Emma for getting me into Bruce Haack. I know next to nothing about Sparks, but their track blew me away. There are so many elements at play. AS always, I'm a big fan of the isolationistic Dodos. Enjoy the 49 hour Radiohead remix. hehe





as always, comments on your thoughts/feelings regarding the songs are appreciated. also, sorry for the crappy artwork haha

World's Finest

Another great few weeks have gone by. yay for that. here's a new mix that i've been working on. I've recently gotten the Stax singles 9 cd box set collecting Stax singles from 59-68. I've enclosed a few of those here, as well as a bunch of other random goodness. Lemme know if you want the stax cds. I'll be happy to up them. Without further ado:



Hope you all enjoy. As always, let me know what you like, hate, or whatever.

Happy 4th

For no reason at all, (despite the title) here is A-Trak's Running Man


enjoy the holiday. meanwhile, i have to go to work in 5 minutes.
