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.

Happy Berlin Wall day. My brother was actually there in Berlin when it all happened, just by chance. He was studying in Heidelberg and had made a weekend trip to Berlin and ended up in the middle of everything. I still have a piece of the wall in my apartment.

On a programming side, this bit will go on hiatus for about a week since I have to go to a worthless training that I'm pretty pissed off about.

• I'll See You in the Evening - Mazarin
• Bellyache - Echobelly
• Just Like Heaven - the Cure
• Everyone Chooses Sides - the Wrens
  
• The Everlasting Scream - Elf Power
• T.V. Mystic - the High Dials
• The Connection - Travis
• The Caterpillar - the Cure
• The Fishhook Girl - Echo and the Bunnymen
  

The last one is a B-Side. I probably only have about five or six Cure songs on this playlist, so it's a bit surprising to see two come up in one morning. Of the eight bands, I've seen all but Echobelly and Elf Power in concert.
