Boo, I can't use the multiquote thingie, so I might just screw up your pretty font. :wacky: That's okay though. I appreciated your "updates". Sorry for the crappy rapidhsare link btw, but my computer wouldn't upload the tape to any of the alternatives. :dozey: This is Let's Go Surfing by The Drums. I actually wanted to start with something funny/weird (like Eier Von Satan by Tool. I don't like Tool, but that song is SO AWESOME :D), then I heard this song by chance and it was just too perfect to not start my mix with. The Drums are an up and coming Californian band who released their first ep last year. The rest of the ep is alright, but this song really stands out. I want it to be summer already. :( Another up and coming California band, Local Natives with Sun Hands. They just released their début a couple of months ago in the UK and I think it will get a US release this month (that's sort of weird :D). Most of their stuff is pretty chill (on cd anyway, live is another story), so this is one of their more rocky songs. The latter half of the song is my favourite, I love the shouting part and the guitars. Local (well, she's Belgian, so not that local) singer Selah Sue. I guess her voice takes some time to get used to. She is sort of the next big thing here. I chose to include this because I wanted to have some local artists as well and this song's quite different from the rest of the tape. Maybe it's not your style, but when you get used to her style, it's decent. The song is Fyah, Fyah. You're close! This is Island, IS by Volcano Choir, a Wisconsin band that features Bon Iver's Justin Vernon among others. Again a début released last year. It's pretty good and certainly worth listening to, though this is one of the better songs on it. Glad you liked it. :nice: This song is from one of my favourite 2009 albums, Ambivalence Avenue by Bibio. It's a great album to really listen to, with songs varying from pure instrumental electronic tracks to little folkish songs. It's also an album that keeps being interesting after time, definitely recommended. The song is called Lover's Carvings. I would've liked the song almost equally if it had been instrumental, but the vocals in the latter half add a really nice touch and make the structure quite interesting. This is Sackcloth in Ashes by Small Leaks Sink Ships. I really like the structure of this song as it's quite diverse. But you're right that the vocals are sort of crappy. A shame really, cause the rest of the song is good. Plus, it's a nice song for turning up the volume. Haha, the transition maybe is a bit too sudden, yeah. This is Ultimate Satisfaction by Brooklyn band Bear in Heaven (got a lot of bear-bands in Brooklyn). Their album Beast Rest Forth Mouth (which rhymes to east west north south :sweatdrop:) is solid and a lot of the songs on it are in this particular style. I'm gonna see them live in April, pretty excited for that. Oh, and the singer is male. :D I'm so happy you like this! Wasn't sure whether I wanted to include it, but ended up adding it because it creates a nice contrast with the previous and next song. This song is Erla's Waltz by Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds. He is indeed a contemporary artist. I'd recommend starting with his (only) album Eulogy for Evolution if you want to hear more. It has a lot of piano/violin stuff on it, as well as some more surprising elements. The eps released after the album are pretty good as well. Johnny Cash! He's one of my favourite artists ever and definitely my favourite vocalist, so I just had to include something. The song is called God's Gonna Cut You Down and is from his latest (posthumously released) album American V: A Hundred Highways. I think this is actually a traditional song. If you haven't really listened to Johnny Cash yet, I'd recommend starting with the American Recordings series. Especially I (American Recordings, 1994) and III (Solitary Man, 2000) are amazing. It's Danger Mouse plus James Mercer from The Shins with their new band Broken Bells. The album hasn't been released yet (but obviously it leaked a while back) and it's good. Check out first single The High Road if you want to hear more. The song is The Ghost Inside. This is Fangela by Here We Go Magic. The self titled album is really interesting, though I'm not crazy about all songs. It's certainly worth a try though, as there are several really decent songs on it. And the sound is something else. I randomly bumped into this song while listening to my iTunes in shuffle. It's The Radio Has Expressed Concerns About What You Did Last Night by Norse band Superfamily. This is local singer Caro Emerald with A Night Like This. It's a cute upbeat song which is probably going to be a summer hit. I like the 50's style. Joe Purdy is one of those guys who is always featured in TV shows (in this case the song was in one of the first episodes of Lost). He produces a shitload of music, of which most is really nice and relaxing to listen to. Try I Love The Rain The Most, The City and Suitcase if you want to hear more. This song is Washed Away, by the way. Another local band, Voicst. They aren't particularly interesting, except the lyrics of this song, Mixed Words. Which is the main reason I included it in the mix. The lyrics don't make any sense from a Dutch perspective and are just sort of weird in general, precisely why I like them. The rest of the song is pretty standard though. I've once seen them perform an acoustic set, which I have to admit was a lot better than their album or a normal gig. This is my new addiction Wild Beasts. Their new album Two Dancers is good, especially after some time. The song is called Two Dancers (i). Definitely go check out the album! This is Chilean singer/actor/poet/theatre director/political activist Víctor Jara. The song is Te Recuerdo Amanda, probably one of his most famous, but not necessarily his best. I grew up listening to his music and the album this song is from is still one of my all time favourites. Too bad that fucker Pinochet got him killed during the coup of 1973 (though not before having him tortured extensively, it's a really sad story - look it up on Wikipedia or something). :dozey: I wanted to end my tape with something really different and also something you wouldn't know. I'm glad I succeeded in that. If you want to hear more: look up Vamos Por Ancho Camino, it's one of my favourite songs ever, or just get one of his albums. The compilation Vientos Del Pueblo is good. I'm really happy you liked my mix. I tried to make it diverse as well as including some local artists and I hope you discovered some new music you like. I really had fun making the tape and reading your review (even though it took a long time :P). In the end, the tape reflected much of what I'm currently listening to: a lot of 2009 releases (still catching up :dozey:) and some old favourites. Here is the full tracklisting: 1.

Meh. If there isn't going to be a Radiohead tour this year, I kinda want a Thom solo tour. You know, just a couple of European dates including Amsterdam. Shouldn't be too hard, right? :wacky:

New post on DAS Some stations don't even have a check in/out thingie. :dozey: But my old OV was for weekdays and my new one is for weekends. As I can still use both I'm not complaining. :sweatdrop:

Awh, my good old friend Jeff. :nice: Listening right now! (if you hadn't guessed yet :wacky:)

I like the change, but I hope this won't be the "theme" of the next album. Just white and black would be rather boring to look at for a few years. Yeah, that would be cool. Unfortunately, Heerlen is a four and a half hour single journey for me, but on the other hand, I can travel for free all week in February (yay for OV chipkaart miserably failing :nice:)..

I'm downloading it right now. Will probably post a review tomorrow. :nice: I haven't heard anything from my partner either. Except that they're busy. Boo.

I like this new feature! :nice: The Coldplay ones are rather annoying though. I use this one, but I'm tempted to change it to Scrat. :wacky:

My dad listens to Radiohead as well, but he doesn't really like the albums post OKC. :dozey: (I guess I need to work on that xD) He has pretty good taste though. Sometimes I drag him along to concerts. :nice:

Boo, Heerlen is literally on the other side of the country. :dozey: In other news, I recently discovered that my mum owns a Radiohead album. Didn't know she was so.. modern. :nice:

I want a release date. :whip:

It sure is. And the lights are so pretty. :wacky: But the Oosterpoort version of Sorry is amazing as well, longer than the Tivoli one and no choir. Ah, I love Kyteman.. :heart:

I never really listened to Beck, to be honest. *download* :wacky:

Harrowdown Hill (extended mix) Imogen Heap?

Mojo Pin - Jeff Buckley

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Pearl Jam

QOTSA - God Is in the Radio

Nantes - Beirut

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Wilco

Radiohead vs. Arcade Fire

Whoa, that line up is pretty sweet. I guess I could.. swim? :wacky:

Ireentje, there is an official live recording of Kyteman. It's of the gig in Oosterpoort in September. It's sort of hard to get though, because it's part of the special edition of the same concert that's been released on dvd in December. Still, it's pretty awesome, albeit short (only an hour in total, so it's definitely not the full concert). I haz it. :wacky:
