Wolf Parade – Shine a light

Metric – Dead Disco

Apostle of Hustle – Chances Are

My Bloody Valentine – Soft as Snow

The Brunettes – Small Town Crew

The Shins – Phantom Limb

Tiffany – I think We’re Alone Now
This was a special request.

’til next week, Peace Out people!

* There is no prize.

p.s. I’ve been having some reports that some of you cannot get the mixtape to play properly. There are three likely reasons for this
1) The site is experiencing problems, not much we can do about that sadly, although it should hopefully get more stable over time.
2) When you go to the page, you have double clicked the song you want to hear. Don’t do that, you should single click the song name. Double clicking will start to play it, and then pause it. :-)
3) You are using Internet Explorer. The muxtape site seems to be a bit flaky on occasion when IE is being used. It works much better with the free ‘Firefox’ browser. Download it here .

    I fucking love Tiffany. Avril Lavigne of the 80′s. Much more punk than Debbie Gibson. If anyone has noody pictures, i’m interested.

    Aaww.

    Nevermind.

    Some good sounds on there but , I have to say , a little light on the country rock – which you will of course appreciate is the white mans blues ; anyone heard the new Silver Jews album ” lookout mountain , lookout sea ” ?

    Worth the price of admisson just for ” suffering jukebox “,; not many bands can manage ( sincere ) irony and schmaltz at the same time.

    Haven’t heard the new Silver Jews but having just discovered them, Starlite Walker is fast becoming an all time favourite of mine.

    It’s me who is the country-rock fan, WEW being slightly less a fan and it is he who has been entrusted with mixtape duties. *

    * Code for ELM is a luddite who doesn’t know how to do it…..!

    ‘Punks In The Beerhall’ is a work of genius.
