After a 2 month hiatus I am back in full swing with my mixes. More music joy for everyone! Who else was stoked about Arcade Fire’s album of the year Grammy?! There is still hope, people. This month I have a great list of artists across a broad range of genres. Some of them you might have heard of but the others are upcoming acts that have impressed me recently. (more…)

Is it just me or are most musicians leaning towards more electronic sounds? This year I saw a big influence of electronic across many genres, is this a cause of how easy it is to create music with computers? or a communal aesthetic that we have comforted with? Whatever it is, it’s been an awesome year for music. The rockstar as we know it is dead. Pop stars are the new icons which is sad, with the likes of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. The only people with talent seems to be all those introverts locked away in their parents basement making music. Let us see what 2011 has in store for us. In the meanwhile let’s take a look back at 2010, here’s an awesome graph of my listening trend for 2010:

Another month another great mix to share! It’s actually been a very exciting month with new releases by Interpol, Of Montreal, The Walkmen and El Guincho! And a nice little treat from Kanye, from his VMA performance. Many of you have requested individual MP3s for all songs, so I’m changing up the format of the mixes to a Zip file with all the MP3s. Now you can listen to them individually and share them with friends! Enjoy. (more…)
