PT-Music Mix // Snow Drifts

Monday, November 7th, 2011

As those who live on the East Coast or the Rocky Mountains can attest to, winter is here (above was taken from my front door this past weekend in Salt Lake City). Since it’s been a while since I put together a mix, I thought what better way to celebrate these sub-freezing temps than a playlist that’s CD-R burn-ready (playtime = 1 hr 6 min). Check out the tracklist below:

  • Moss of Aura // Roicka 1
  • Elite Gymnastics // here, in heaven 2
  • Part Time // Night Drive
  • Jesse Ruins // Sofija
  • Puro Instinct // Slivers of You (Live on Daytrotter)
  • Rangers // Conversations on the Jet Stream
  • Sun Glitters // Too Much to Lose (Slow Magic Remix)
  • Keep Shelly in Athens // Fokionos Negri Street
  • Gang Gang Dance // ∞ ∞
  • Purity Ring // Ungirthed
  • Wise Blood // Penthouse Suites
  • White Denim // No Real Reason
  • Caged Animals // Girls on Medication
  • Colleen Green // Just Like I Do (The Mission 120)
  • Mood Rings // Promise Me Eternity
  • Charli XCX // Stay Away (SALEM’ Angel Remix)
  • Grimes // ∆∆∆∆rasik∆∆∆∆
  • jj // No Once Can Touch Us Tonight
  • Youth Lagoon // Cannons

Probably the most badass kickstarter I’ve seen since this. Levels include:

If I didn’t have a wedding in the next couple of weeks, I would totally splurge for the art-class-gone-wrong chest… Anyways, check out the kickstarter page here.

PT Music Mixxx // New Beginnings

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

For those who follow me on twitter, you are probably already aware that I’ve relocated from Portland to Utah this past month. To commemorate this move to a new environment, I’ve made a one-hour mix composed of mainly new groups from the past year-or-so (with the most notable exceptions being DOOM and Big K.R.I.T. — those songs were just too tight to leave out). All these artists have, at some point in time, been on constant repeat while I’ve packed/moved/unpacked my stuff from point A to B this past month. Much love to Delicious Scopitone, YVYNYL, Get Off the Coast, Salad Fork, Beko-DSL, Widows/Watch, and of course all the stellar bands who’ve submitted mp3s to me which have shown up on this mix. Track list and download link is below. Hope you dig “New Beginnings”!

Track List:

Puro Instinct // S/T EP

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Now on their third appellation, with Pearl Harbor and Pearl Harbour (the British spelling) being the other two, sisters Piper and Skylar Kaplan have just released, via bandcamp, a four track EP under the moniker Puro Instinct. Although the name might be different, the music is still the same: fifteen minutes of fuzzed-out beach bliss that the sisters are known for.

Although lost is the hiss and distortion from the lo-fi recording process that made Calistonia Dreamin’ so endearing (all songs are clearer than “Lost @ Sea” — the most polished track from that album), the S/T EP possesses enough vocal haze to satisfy the early adopters while not straying too far into noise euphoria to turn away “Luv Goon” fans. It’s a great compromise between the two styles and serves as my favorite record the duo has put out to date.

You can stream the entire record at the group’s bandcamp page (or purchase it for a measly $5). Check out the standout track “California Shakedown” — which was originally on their Wish You Were Here CD-R from a while back — below:
