It takes me a couple of weeks to finish a mix, sometimes longer. Nuggets 207 is nearly cooked with jangle pop tunes from all over. Check back in a couple of days.
I had my Archers rush a few mixes back, but I have been saving this track. Excellent. Click on the funny arrows to the bottom right to make the video big. If its running too slow, click the HD symbol to turn it back to plain olâ normal res.
Another road trip to Hamilton. I had new music from A.A. Bondy, Sennen, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, La Sera, Beach House and others to listen to. I caught on to a 2/4 chugging vibe among some of the tracks, and hence this chug, chug mix.
I had coffee by the banks of the mighty Waikato, and then holed up in a hotel all day mediatingâŠ.
Heading down country I listened to Sennen and their new album, Lost Harmony. They are English (Norwich) and make serious guitar driven music; a touch shoegaze, a touch folk with some Can influences. I enjoyed most of the tracks. Wonderful.
Heading back I listened to A.A. Bondy and his latest album â Believers. I enjoyed his first album, American Hearts, and I was looking forward to this 2011 release. Itâs an excellent album with the guitar and voice up front, clean sounding but not over produced. Kinda alt-country late nightâish with an indie sensibility and krautrocky tendencies. I donât often like a whole album, but here I enjoyed every track. Perfect for my trip home in the dark.
Aufheben from the Brian Jonestown Massacre was an unexpected treat. I havenât listened to a whole album from this band before. I enjoyed the documentary, DIG!, covering their rivalry with The Dandy Warhols where they were portrayed as total wasters â particularly main man Anton Newcombe. I approached the album with no expectations and enjoyed every track. Whimsical psychedelia.
All going well, a playable track listing followsâŠ
