This one starts out with some slow stuff, and then gets all funky and fun for a bit, and then drops way down again to close.

A sort of weird week, though it didn’t lead to a particularly weird mix. Still enjoying this bunch of songs though!

My monthly mix of 2012 music–a week early because I’m going out of town. Fortunately, still a lot of good stuff I checked out, though I found this mix a little odd somehow. Had trouble laying it out in a way I was totally happy with.
- almostaghostLike last week, my week was again highlighted by a concert. This time I went to see Lykke Li (and Best Coast). I’ve seen Lykke before, in a small venue, but I found this bigger outdoor theatre performance to be much more memorable. I think it fit her unique stage presence. Part of that was having a 2nd album of songs–she just kept playing more and more songs that I liked and I kept thinking, “oh yea I forgot about this song!” It was great to hear the new stuff live; sometimes I just listen to the albums so much and sometimes I get a little nitpicky critical in thinking about them. But then to hear them live makes me step back–yes these are great songs.
(Best Coast was fine; all their songs sound the same.)
- almostaghostBeen working some crazy long hours this week, which means my songs of the day often lean to my comfortable favorites, instead of searching deep for cool things. Not a bad thing though, they’re my favorites for a reason.
