10.10.10

Oct 102010

I started thinking about this playlist the other day, but put it on hold when I received an email that my USB cassette deck delivery was imminent. The deck arrived looking perfectly good, but it turned out to have a failing motor. Tapes were running very slow and sounded warbly. I’ll return it for a replacement and hopefully by this time next week, I’m having fun with cassette transfers.

So I pulled out the initial playlist, but this wasn’t until after I watched (and really enjoyed) the animated film ‘9’ the night before. I felt that alot of the imagery in the film fit with the direction the playlist was headed, so I kept on with that theme. And as an added bonus, the film was released last year on 9.9.09. I was really motivated to get the file uploaded on 10.10.10.

This is a great collection of music. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

The songs featured on this collection are taken from the various projects released over the years by Tara Jane ONeil, Dan Littleton, and Elizabeth Mitchell. My wife and I have been fans for a long time, and love the fact that our daughters are now also listening (Abby’s first concert was Elizabeth Mitchell at the World Cafe!). It was so hard to narrow down the playlist since every record is so great, so I decided that this will be just the first of several podcasts to feature these bands. Here are 14 mellow acoustic amazing songs that you’re going to love. Buy these records and support these bands so they can continue making such great music.

Play this podcast loud – songs from Poem Rocket, Sonic Youth, Dust Devils, Kilgore Trout, A.C. Temple, Shellac, Wedding Present, Hurl, Rodan, Seam, and Ear Trumpet. Yep, these are old songs, but they kick my ass every time I hear them, so I figured that you needed to hear them as well.
