Morning Mix 12/2/2009

Sausage Fest today:

• Billy Liar - the Decemberists
• Come Together - Spiritualized
• Jackass - Beck
• Morning Bell (version from Kid A) - Radiohead
• Planet of Sound - the Pixies
• Something So Strong - Crowded House
• Slash N' Burn - Manic Street Preachers
• Juicebox - the Strokes
• Begin the Begin - R.E.M.

The Pixies/Crowded House back to back was an interesting change of pace. I think the Spiritualized song is the best song on this list, but Slash N' Burn is what got me interested in Manic Street. See the video below.

Morning Mix 12/1/09

First one of December.

• Quick Canal (w/ Leatitia Sadier of Stereolab) - Atlas Sound
• All of the Things That Go To Make Heaven and Earth - New Pornographers
• The One Who Got Us Out - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
• Futures and Folly - Blitzen Trapper
• Cracking Up - the Jesus and Mary Chain
• High and Dry - Radiohead
• Let the Serpent Sleep - Elf Power
• Run - Spiritualized
• In the Flowers - Animal Collective

The last song serves as a good reminder that year end lists are coming up. Animal Collective will likely be featured prominently. Here's Run, from Spiritualized. Originally released as the first song of the second movement of Laser Guided Melodies, it has also been released as a single in its own right.
