The music selection may not be up to par... so I try to make up for it with the artwork. 

I'm glad it made it up to you.
It's work to send it there. 

I feel for you. You have to send many the opposite direction.

Not as bad as Steely at least.

Just got back to the Granite State and picked up not 1, but 2 discs from the postal woman. Going to find the time to put ears on both. Can't wait!

Hey! I got tunes from LaQuinta! Much thanks.

Yep. Lots of reflection and pausing going on here.

1. Midlake - The Old & The Young. Kind of reminds me of the Alan Parsons Project for some reason.

2. The Tallest Man on Earth - The Dreamer. Familiar with this artist. And I’m happy you included him in your mix.

3. Anna Tivel - Memphis. Never heard of her before. Mellow stuff. I’d never play this at work because it would slow me down and would start daydreaming

4. Penny & Sparrow - Wendigo. Wow. I thought this was Lord Huron. Another mellow introspective tune.

5. Madison Cunningham - Hospital. Never heard of Madison before. Nice little tune. It rocks a bit... that’s nice

6. Anais Mitchell - Why We Build the Wall. Another new to me. Like the pedal steel in this. Hardcore gospel indeed.

7. Ex-Void - No Other Way. I like this a lot. One of my favorites in your mix. Must be the chiming guitars. They get me every time. I’m adding it to my playlist

8. Mk.gee - Are You Looking Up. Nice one. New to me too again. Liked the guitar in this.

9. Indio - Hard Sun. The original! A nice gospel music tune. Great message.

10. Lord Huron - Looking Back. Speaking of Lord Huron. Always liked these guys. Nice Looking Back music.

11. Paisley Fields - Hands Off the Hat.  Another favorite for me. Love the Y’Alternative vibe. Going into my playlist.

12. The Jayhawks - Blue. Good ol’ Jayhawks. I like their stuff.

13. Blitzen Trapper - Black River Killer. I know of their catalogue. Good stuff.

14. Tiny Cities - Body Cast. New to me. ‘Holding on to what’s broken...”

15. David Rawlings - Cumberland Gap. I think Woody Guthrie did this way back. Nice cover. Well, I think they’ve all been covers.

16. Sunnymoon - Come Back. Never heard this one. Nice find. Pleading will get you everywhere.

17. TWEN - Godlike. More nice guitars. Kind of a “Shoegazey” feel to this. Can really hear Siouxsie Sioux vocal style.

18. Vic Chesnutt - Flirted With You All My Life. I’ve heard about Vic for a long time. Never did investigated his music much. A very sad tale here.

19. Old Mervs - Hey.  Hey! Another nice tune. And never heard of them before. Nice wall of guitars.

My disc's are on track for delivery at a station near you... even to Nova Scotia.
Just barely made my April calling.

ok being part of the mcc has caused me to stray from easy point and click to listen, like rp
and to search for things that most people haven't heard (that much)
which is good 

almost obscure centers on/around vulnerability, storytelling, and the human condition/confliction
i'm sort of in a folk-leaning or indie-rock groove 

going for a mix with some fun, some introspection (i've experienced a lot of loss lately) and emotional honesty over mainstream polish

hoping that everyone will find an ear worm ot two that makes you sing, reflect and or give pause

Got it today. Gonna spin it this weekend. 

A tropical breeze from Florida just blew in!

To be fair, Fripp/Eno and many others have done that looping thing. Here’s one I’ve liked

I like them the music is good sure especially when they get in a fast groove, but the concept is delightful to me it is a big ol finger to the music industry.  These guys have been playing together since they were kids and it certainly shows.   I would like in on this club I love the concept and physical media is where its at.  I refuse to stream (other than radio and youtube videos of course) and don't even have a smart talking stone, but I do have the flip variety.

I think they need to give credit to Dick Dale.

Needs all his toes for all the effects!

That was pretty awesome! A bit repetitive but wildly enjoyable non-the-less. So send MORE! 

HEY! I got tunes in the mail! Thanks!!

I'm home for a short while so maybe I'll try to generate something digital for you all. Maybe some...
