A couple more mashups for your enjoyment:

This beat though.

I liked their Nam collab a lot for some reason--even though a lot of the motifs were right off of Ghosts--I didn't mind.

Lots of Trent and Atticus lately. The Social Network/Gone Girl/Watchmen sound tracks.

[Anderson]

Been listening to a fuckton of Wilco and Uncle Tupelo for the first time in years.

OMG. I just found out one of my favorite bands from MN just released a new album. It's been since 2001....



I can't count the amount of times I saw these guys in the 90s/00s. One of my favorite memories of them is getting on stage with them, getting a hug from Cherry Forever, him grabbing my ass, giving me a pick, and Brynn shouting at me to jump as far off the stage as I could make it. Now I think it was at a Hennepin Block Party performance or something like that as it was a mighty small performance but man, so many good memories of these weirdos. Seeing them play their first Edgefest was also something that was awesome. At one point there was a youtube video from that year and you could see me in my stupid grateful dead tshirt with my super sweet platinum hair moshing and crowd surfing

Awesome.

Been getting back into Rammstein since I've been re-learning German with Duolingo. This new vid is pretty dope even if you don't understand the lyrics.

If this mash-up means they all go on tour together I am SO buying a t-shirt.

[Abraham Smashington]

that's some good shit.

Also, been revisiting The Cramps of late. Used to run through their catalog back during college with the gang at WMCX, where my friend, Joslyn, turned me on to them.

This version features (wistful sigh) Fur Dixon on bass. Had quite a crush on her back then (still do), and she reminds me of a biker chick I hung out with during Spring Break a couple of years later (wistful sigh). Probably because of the attitude and gum chewing.

Been on a shoegaze/ethereal wave trip lately (hell, I'm ALWAYS into some good shoegaze/ethereal/dream pop stuff), specifically Tamaryn and her song Cranekiss.

Love, love, love this song. It mellows me out for some reason, and her voice just captivates me.
