“The music I’m making is not terribly easy to apprehend,” [Longstreth] said. “The people I really admire, like William Blake and John Coltrane and Richard Wagner, had these ridiculously full universes that took their entire lives to describe. So from one album to the next it’s been hard for people to see the way they’re all related, but the whole thing makes sense to me.” (via the Times)


Sometimes I wonder if anyone else is having a hard time trying to enjoy Dirty Projectors.

I'm enjoying the weather as of late (eighty degrees and relatively clear at noon? in a place where the state bird is humidity? what's going on?) but it still seems a farce to me. I'm waiting with bated breath for the days when cigarette smoke melts and falls instead of wafting and the heat is so oppressive that you feel like you can't get the front door open because it's being blocked by the sun.

Threw together another mix (an actual one this time, not a jumbled folder of mp3s); tracklist and link after the jump.



crude representation

(decided to try Megaupload instead of Rapidshare. download rates seem to be better)

Tracklist:

Pumice - Eyebath
Karl Blau - Alone Baby
Mobius Band - True Love Will Find You In The End
Neko Case - Knock Loud
Suckers - It Gets Your Body Movin
Warpaint - Beetles
Hologram - Blazey Storm
Best Coast - Sun Was High (So Was I)


The Mobius Band cover is particularly good - they did an EP of them for Valentine's Day a while ago.

Also worthy of a shoutout: Major Lazer's new mix, via Gorilla vs. Bear (again). It's not dickriding, it's just recognition of a superior music source.

A little dickriding. A little.
