Greetings,
I'm bringing 2 mixes today. One is the standard mix of electronic and hip hop music. The other is standard rock mix. For those that dislike metal and ear piercing garage rock, rejoice for there is none to little here(the PJ Harvey track maybe...). For those that do love it, I'll make it up to you later.
Abandoned Hospitals:(Hip hop/ electronic)
Soooo many tracks that I am really loving: The most laid back funk ever comes in the form of Jimix's Blackstreet "No Diggity" remix. The Prince-ly "Hot Raw Sec" of Jimmy Edgar is a track that probably made Chromeo simultaneously nut. TOKiMONSTA is a student of Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder Collective. Some serious words get spat in the Aleon Craft posse cut, the Black Milk track, and Ski Beatz collabo with Jean Grae and Jay Electronica(Wow!). Wait until the end of "Yoga Flame" from Aleon Craft for a huge dose of Stankonia era Outkast weirdness. I love it!
The Riz MC track is also a jam. The Rocketnumbernine track is taken from a recent Four Tet mix. I had to jack the track as I couldn't find an mp3 of it ANYWHERE and I am a master of finding things... :( Oh well, it'll do!
The Ram of Destiny:(Roxorz)
"Arrow" from Katryn Calder(of The New Pornographers-she was Neko Case's replacement) is a most excellent track to wake up to. Dude from Wakey Wakey is on one Tree Hill. I have no idea what that is, but i bet my little sister does. You may recall Maps & Atlases for their track "Solid Ground" which I included on It's Miller Time . Anyhow, they're an awesome band of what seems like proggy math rock masters making pop inflections. Think a cute Don Cab(possible?).
Some Memphis love goes out to 3D Acid Glasses. I really like their track "Sloppy Surfing". The Fresh & Onlys have tightened the Hell up. I likes it(they're playing Hi Tone in October for 8 dollars! Come on!). Restless People is a group of 4 dudes that have previously worked together on projects such as Tanlines and Professor Murder(if neither of those names mean anything to you, please ask me to upload them for you). The new women album is pretty grand(they play Hi Tone in October also). The Caribou track is a live one from a recent Daytrotter session. If you don't like jammy, kraut rock drone....step off of it. If you enjoy that kind of thing, enjoy the Women and Caribou tracks(almost 12 and a half minutes of goodness!!).

I've said too much, too much. Before i go though, both of the covers came from Dustin Cruseturner circa 2004 in our adventures around Memphis. Can you guess where Abandoned Hospitals came from? If you guessed St. Francis, you guessed wrong. The Ram of Destiny lives atop my mantle now. Her name is Smermy Smarmy. Now I've really said too much.
GO FAGL GO
Welcome. These are called mixes. If you like the artists, go buy their music. I might do that too! More likely, if you like the artist, go see their live show.
