I know what you’re thinking: “this music I listen to is so boring, why am I so uncool?” Well listen to this and everything will change! All new music from 2012 that I like–the year started slow but exciting stuff is starting to come out.

Last eight days seemed both completely jammed AND entirely uneventful. How does that happen?

Boom. Fair warning–track 2 is 18 minutes long. Went to another concert tonight, will write it up soon.

Next week’s should be awesome–I’m roadtripping out to a Radiohead concert in a few days. 
Until then, here’s this week’s.
Meant to have this up last night, but slipped my mind. Half a day late once isn’t so bad. Lucky #42 — the answer to the ultimate question.
Happy Leap Year Day! Also, it’s the end of the month, so here’s some of the new music I’ve found and liked enough to share! Still haven’t found all that many albums I love yet this year, but there’s a couple and the rest here are from singles or compilations.

I touched on it a little in looking at the Friday lineup, but Saturday is an even more British day! I’ll have an accent by the end of the day. There’s literally no way I’ll be able to see everyone I like on the Saturday, conflicts will abound. This mix is a little long, my 23 favorites from the day.
UK: Radiohead, Laura Marling, SBTRKT, Buzzcocks, Kasabian, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Squeeze*, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds*, Kaiser Chiefs*, Sub Focus*, Jacques Lu Cont*, The Big Pink*, The Vaccines*
Canada!: Feist, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Dragonette, Destroyer*, Zeds Dead*,
I’m particularly excited for the women artists this day: St. Vincent, Laura Marling, Feist, Azealia Banks, tUnE-YaRdS, Grace Potter, Keep Shelly In Athens, Dragonette
Reasons I’m even going to Coachella this year: Radiohead, Bon Iver
Artists everyone else is a little more exicted to see than I: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jeff Mangum, tUnE-YaRdS, Childish Gambino*
Old bands/Coachella reunions: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Buzzcocks, fIREHOSE, Squeeze*
Artists I now dig who I just learned about from doing this: Azealia Banks, Gary Clark Jr., tUnE-YaRdS, fIREHOSE, We Were Promised Jetpacks

I continue to amuse myself by picking a song-of-the-day every day, and then sharing them in a mix.

Hm this ended up a weird bunch of very cool songs. Doesn’t flow at all. But still, that’s what my week was, I guess. Will finish off my Dylan Tribute Album live blogging this weekend!
