Monday Mix #16

Drunk On Election Night – Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males
I had always liked Dank Kelly’s music, but when I saw him live it was great. His friendly personality really brings out the hilarity in his music. If you get a chance to see him, I’d highly recommend it.

7/4 (Shoreline) - Broken Social Scene
I never really embraced Broken Social Scene like many, but that’s not to say I don’t enjoy them. When I heard this song recently I knew it was time to put them up here.

Plasticities – Andrew Bird
For some reason I got an extremely negative impression of Andrew Bird recent album on my first listen. I was convinced that it wasn’t all to my tastes. Then I gave it a second go through and found I really liked it. Bizarre.

Take My Hand – Kuryakin
Kuryakin are an obscure Swedish band I discovered whilst listening to Sydney radio (makes sense). They have a really nice, mellow sort of sound.

Australia (Peter Bjorn & John Remix) – The Shins
This is possibly the first remix I have ever posted. As you can guess, I’m not exactly supportive of them. I’m still waiting for one that actually does justice to the original. Then again, I’m not one to pass up an opportunity to mention The Shins so here you go. Less than two weeks till they come!
