Embarrassingly behind in my dissemination of jams. I’ve been bogarting the tunes, folks, and for that, I am sorry. Put on yo oven mitts — these songs are superhot & supremely FRESH.

Here’s the mixtape I’m currently spinning; I’ve titled mine “Two of Hearts,” but I invite you to name yours as it applies to this chunk of your life experience.

P.S. Send me a blank CD/self-addressed/postage/etc, if you want your own copy. Yeah, I’m phucking old school. I’ll use a typewriter for your tracklist, bitch.

1. “Midnight City” - M83

Out-of-control. Stick-shift, top-down convertible on an oceanside highway. GIMME. This is a party monster of a single. 

2. “Sunlight” - Bag Raiders

LODGED. MOVE. Hair fucking everywhere. 

3. “Young Blood” - The Naked & the Famous

Let’s be honest…mixtape filler. Adequate.

4. “Don’t Fuck with My Money” - Penguin Prison

Artist & song name should be sufficiently intriguing to you.

5. “Mouthful of Diamonds” - Phantogram

Older jam, pretty much included because of recent High Noon show.

6. “Stuck In My ID” - Reptar

Stuck In My ID = stuck in my head. Great transition song for this mixtape, especially since Reptar opened for Phantogram.

7. “Anna Sun” - Walk the Moon

On the verge of potential megahit status, me thinks — a la “Pumped Up Kicks” or MGMT-era crossover, etc. Catchy as a baseball glove, love. Playing a string of itsy bitsy shows round here (Frequency & Club G), which I think will be rowdy and FUN, even if the music is mediocre.

8. “Houdini” - Foster the People

I mean, whatever.

9. “Stand In The Water” - Wildlife

BZZZZZ Arcade Fire wannaBEES, yeah. They’re even from Canada. Let’s segway this mixtape into even mellower territory, while we’re at it.

10. “All The Money I Had Is Gone” - The Deep Dark Woods

SaskaTUNES.

11. “Video Games” - Lana Del Rey

Haunting.

12. “Simple Girl” - Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

The classic sound of a cute indie film soundtrack.

13. “Feeding Line” - Boy & Bear

Will I grow tired of whistle/handclap bridges? The answer is no, never.

14. “King of Diamonds” - Motopony

Similarly, appropriately, the music accompanying the credits of that aforementioned cute indie film.

KABOOM.
