Lazy Tuesday Mix #3
Winter Wooskie – Belle & Sebastian
Today I had one of those “I’m sick of always listening to music I don’t know, just to see if I like it or not, just so I can go straight back to listening to music I don’t know” moments. Thankfully I put Belle & Sebastian on just in time and was instantly calmed. Phew.
Pieces Of Me – The Lovetones
Lately I’ve had negative comments about The Lovetones coming from left, right and centre (i.e. myself). But on further inspection, I must say I don’t think it’s all justified. Sure, occasionally they sound a bit like everything and yet nothing, but still, there’s some impressive music here.
Rebellion (Lies) – Arcade Fire
I didn’t get to say much about Arcade Fire when Funeral came out so therefore I justify my use of it now. It came on the radio recently and I was reminded how great life can be. It was then followed by 20 minutes of the same techno beat and I was brought right back to Earth and then some.
Mistaken For Strangers – The National
Ah The National. They are the band that just can’t seem to impress me. I mean I like them, but it feels like it’s only because I should, not because I have a great craving for their music. Still, the odd song here and there manages to rise above the rest.
Mt Kill – Surf City
This New Zealand 4-piece have really impressed with their debut EP. In fact I even considered going to Bondi this Thursday to see them until I realised I couldn’t. True story. They remind me of a more colourful incarnation of Sonic Youth. It’s an image which this cover undoubtedly helped form.
