You may have noticed we’re big Danger Village folks around here. Beth has filled our ears with goodies over the past few years, and I’ve had the chance to become REAL LIFE FRIENDS with her. One of those real-life-friends moments happened to be over CMJ, where Beth and I talked about one of her special Danger Village mixes for Knox Road. Despite moving to the warmer west coast, she’s been inspired by the colder weather and presented us with some end of year favorites. Catch “The Ghost Control Mix” below, which I’ve been listening to on repeat. I’ll let her chat about it from here. Beth, take it away.
“For the end of the year I compiled a list of new artists that fit into the darker, colder, wintery mood of December. This list has more male artists than any I’ve made this year, which is a nice trend as I’ve been lamenting the lack of truly talented, soulful male songwriters with beautiful voices. I’m glad to have come across a few at the end of this year like Benjamin Clementine and Isaac Sakima. I’m also enjoying how artists are blending electronics with more organic sounds, like we hear here with Adult Jazz, ceo and Young Fathers.
Overall it’s been a great year for music but I think 2014 is going to be even better.”
Track list after the jump.

It’s not my typical mixery, but it’ll do. No random songs this time – they’re actually of my choosing! I know, crazy concept.
Let’s get to the point. I was recently asked, along with a few esteemed music blogs and KR friends, to curate a little playlist for exfm at Cantora Labs’Â Smartlounge at […]
This is the third installment of my Memorial Day mix. Take a look at the previous two years’ mixes here and here (sorry, the mp3s no longer work). We Knox Roadians hope you’re all having fantastic Memorial Day weekends. I myself went to a nice BBQ party at the queen of i […]
The online music publication QRO Magazine recently asked me to curate a mix of indie pop songs in the “Knox Road” mold for their “Thank You For Being A Friend Giveaway”. Essentially, we teamed up with three other super blogs – Cream Team, No Modest Bear, and Anti-Gravity Bunny – to make four […]
For those who don’t know, this is the thirteenth iTunes Mixery. 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. Again, nothing’s off-limits – I don’t “fix the mix”. Have a […]

Taking a page from last year’s pre-Siren coverage (for photos and reviews of every act last year, check here), here’s your 2010 preview in mp3s. I, unfortunately, won’t be there this year. Jamie, Jon, and helpful contributor Brittany will provide […]
I enjoy what I wrote as an intro to the July 4 post last year, so you’re getting it again. Suckas! Same questions / feedback applies. Week In Review will be pushed back to later today or tomorrow.
From Knox Road to all of you, Happy Fourth of July. For our non-US readers, […]
Whoa, was my last Mixery really in March?? I’m so sorry. Hopefully this one will be plenty special.
For those who don’t know, this is the twelfth (lfth at the end of a word seems really weird) iTunes Mixery. Here’s how it goes: I play iTunes on shuffle -> tell you which […]
This is the second installment of my Memorial Day mix, which will happen every, um, Memorial Day. Take a look back at last year’s mix here (sorry, the mp3s no longer work…can’t just leave them up forever!). We Knox Roadians hope you’re all having fantastic Memorial Day weekends. Last year I started off […]
Due to some busy times in the current music world and our lives, we’ve somehow neglected mixes lately here on Knox Road, and we apologize. You, the readers, (well, those who actually take the time to talk to us – thank you!) have spoken. You miss the mix. So I will get them […]
