There is still room for one more in the Monkey Mixx. It’s a daunting mix, I know. All new music. All “must have” releases from this last half decade. I am pleased that there are 5 participants, but we need (or would like) one more.
As an example: here is my tentative list:
Jukebox the Ghost – Hold it In
Elbow – Some Riot
Against Me! – Borne on the FM Waves of the Heart
The Thermals – Here’s Your Future
The Fratellis – For the Girl
Nightmare of You – The days Go By So Slow
When the mix is up I will make a post that addresses each song and each album and why you should own it, etc, etc.
But, hey, still looking for that last person.
Anyone?
Anyone?
Oh oh oh! Count me in, please!
Here are my choices from the last couple of years. I figured I would still to Canadian artists exclusively, but even so had to leave out some really great ones. Such is the curse of living in a country overrun with talented musicians.
In no particular order:
Cries of the Dead – Chad VanGaalen
Hotline Operator – the Constantines
Means of Escape – Brian Borcherdt
This is the Dream of Win and Regine – Final Fantasy
Just One More – Jon-Rae & the River
Fingers and Tongues – Elliott Brood
You’re in! And we’re closed!
