Whew, almost missed getting one in for July. I know I haven’t done Mixeries every month, but I will *try* from now on. It’s fun for me and I hope it’s fun for you too. Per usual, an explanation:
For those who don’t know, this is iTunes Mixery part cinco. Here’s how it goes: I play iTunes on shuffle -> tell you which song comes up -> provide the mp3 and a tidbit -> continue until five songs and embarrassment are complete. See my previous “mixeries” at the bottom of the post. Again, nothing’s off-limits – I don’t “fix the mix”. Have a look into my life…
- The Fire Theft – “It’s Over” [MP3] (from The Fire Theft). Whoa, how appropriate. Sunny Day Real Estate’s got a reunion tour coming up, and you can bet yourself I’m going (9:30 club in D.C. – thanks Emma). This song is just a bunch of distinct Jeremy Enigk vocals and a hard-hitting, distorted, guitared-up background.
- Colors In The Air – “Phetamine” (from On The Inside). Erm. This song started nicely with some hushed vocals. But hints of emo shone through, and then, well… Be careful with pop-punk. I can’t deny it’s a bit catchy here and there. Mark on the “embarrassing” side. This kind of music isn’t my cup of tea –Â so I’m deciding not to post the MP3 (it was up momentarily – apologies to those looking for it here.)
- Amanda Rogers – “Daily News” [MP3] (from Daily News). A haunting, gorgeous piano-pop track from the sensational Rogers, who began playing shows when she was 15 years old.
- Bark Cat Bark – “Rieux-Minervois” [MP3] (from Bedroom Demos). Everything you need to know about Bark Cat Bark’s instrumental intricacies here.
- Cloud Cult – “Take Your Medicine” [MP3] (from The Meaning of 8). Cloud Cult is one of my favorite bands. This is one of my favorite Cloud Cult songs. You do the math. Take all the adjectives I use for different artist profiles and throw them all together for Cloud Cult and this tune in particular.
