No, not tomorrow, if In Rainbows is anything to go by. It'll be released on GMT.

*not going to quote Graceful's post because it would look really awkward with all those quotes-within-quotes, but* I shall certainly have to investigate a few of those, thank you. :)

My review: 1. I'm really reminded of Phoenix when I listen to this. Something about the singer's voice that's very similar. Great melody with a fantastic vocal harmony in the chorus. 2. Yay, electro-pop! I have the funniest feeling I've heard this somewhere before. Nice vocals, great use of handclaps, very 80s-ish production. 3. The Wombats - Tokyo (Vampires and Wolves) - I recognised the chorus from somewhere and it gave it away (even though I don't remember ever hearing it before), and then I twigged the band. Very different to something like 'Let's Dance To Joy Division' anyway. I like this rather a lot! 4. E minor! YES! That's my favourite key. Falsetto vocals that work really well. This is a little Sufjan Stevens-y to my ears, even though I know it's not him. The mixtape's great so far. 5. Hmm. Country-tinged rock, not something I usually go for. I can actually tolerate the singer's voice which is surprising. Good lyrics too! 6. Cover of The xx's Crystalised. That was one of my favourite songs of last year, and I like this version quite a bit. 7. Nice drums. This is in... C minor I think. It doesn't try to be flashy or anything; quite an unassuming song, but it suits it well. I'd be interested in finding out who this is by. 8. Another upbeat indie-pop song. I'm a bit of a sucker for this kind of stuff, and as it goes, this is rather good. Vocals are Vampire Weekend-y. I approve. 9. Garage rock. I like the riff, and the vocal harmonies are nice too. Interested to hear about this too. 10. Hmm. Sounds like it could be on an American drama of some sort. Pretty inoffensive adult-oriented rock. Not really my thing, and the worst part is I'm sure there are far too many songs that sound the same. 11. I'm racking my brains trying to think where I've heard this before! Something about it sounds incredibly familiar. It's quite good. 12. Atmospheric, synth-driven, treated vocals. This is EXCELLENT! Probably the highlight of the mixtape so far. 13. Delphic - Acolyte - I CAN'T EVEN. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS ON THERE!!! One of my favourite songs of the year. It's almost transcendental. SO GOOD. 14. Is this Grizzly Bear? Please tell me it's Grizzly Bear. I recognise the singer's voice - AND THIS IS A HOT CHIP COVER! OH MY GOD THIS IS BRILLIANT. And I Was A Boy From School, right? 15. Gorgeous melody. Those strings add so much to the song. I thought 'female Caleb Followill' when I heard her voice. This is a good thing. 16. Percussion. More female vocals. Nice chord progression and atmosphere. This is another thing I don't usually like, but this particular song is very good. 17. The XX covering Florence And The Machine covering The Source - You Got the Love - Had never heard this before but was well aware of its existence. I like it very much, so thanks. 18. Do you want to reduce me to tears?! There's something incredibly affecting about this song. Those lyrics.... sung in that voice... wow. AND THE WAY IT GETS GOING. Holy shit, this actually gives me shivers. NEED TO KNOW WHO THIS IS. Overall, very good mixtape. I was worried it was gonna go off the rails with track 10, but it recovered, and the combination of those last two songs is wonderful. 8/10 I would say. Thanks very much. :)

I'm having my first listen to my mixtape real soon. :)

Got mine earlier today; will spend a few days with it before posting my thoughts. I prefer to do live reviews with these things, but that won't be possible. So I'll take it nice and slow. Thanks mixtaper (yes, in advance!). :)

*whistles* Waaaaaiting.

Wow, these guys sound fuck all like FF, but that's just my opinion.

Kittehs :uhoh:

Fuck off please. :)

Here is a review what I wrote this morning: http://www.thisisfakediy.co.uk/articles/albums/kanye-west-my-beautiful-dark-twisted-fantasy SomuchbetterthanPitchfork's. *cough* Did someone say something?

What Biffy have you heard before now? ^ If it's only Puzzle and Only Revolutions, you're in for a shock.

Sign me up please! Apparently my 'In Like Flynn' fell on deaf ears. ;)

Michachu and the Shapes are excellent. IMO.
