The latest guest mix comes from Detroit’s Coyote Clean Up. It’s an excellently mixed laid back collection of mostly eletronic stuff, ranging from minimal techno and ambient to dubstep and soul, with a touch of indie rock and drone. Great for summer but I believe it will work equally well in other seasons! Also, Sade goes incredibly well with minimal techno.
Coyote Clean Up’s new album Downhill Exxxpress is out now on I had an accident records, you can get it here. “DJ sets, live shows, remixes, mixes, and tons of other secret goodies coming soon as well!” Can’t wait! The mix:

2009 was an awesome year for music, so I have made a more extensive list than I usually make. Comment and let me know what your top 5/10/20 or whatever you want to do are! If anyone would like any of these albums I can upload them and give a link to download, so let me know!




20. Tonikom – The Sniper’s Veil


The genre of this album is hard to pin down. It is clearly Electronic, although it has hints of IDM, drum and bass, and industrial. What makes her stick out in my mind is her ability to write extremely catchy drum beats with vocal samples over the top of it. Very good and very underrated.

19. Bill Callahan – Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle

The easiest thing to call this would be alt-country/folk, but its a little to weird to pigeonhole into any single category. The simplicity of his musical backing and the strangeness of his voice and cadence is what makes this a memorable album. …

My favorite year of the decade as far as music goes.

Ada - Blondie

Annie - Anniemal

Arcade Fire - Funeral

Behemoth - Demigod

Codeseven - Dancing Echoes/Dead Sounds

Enslaved - Isa

Blonde Redhead - Misery Is a Butterfly

Decapitated - The Negation

Ensiferum - Iron

Isis - Panopticon

The Walkmen - Bows + Arrows

Wintersun - Wintersun

So, in spite of drinking myself silly and being hospitalized on Sunday night/Monday morning, I live to write another journal. August has been a little better on the home front for me, despite the incredible lack of funds to which I've become accustomed. Still, this has meant I have stayed home most nights listening to music and such. But enough about that, time I cracked on with this month's reviews...

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
One of the most heavily praised albums is first on my list this month, courtesy of these Kendall-based alternative Next Big Thingers. Credit where it's due for wheeling out their sophomore effort in little over a year, but the result is at times leadenly over-earnest and too eager to please, particularly from the band's lead singers' ungainly diving between affected falsetto and impassioned yells, more often within mere moments of one another (one noteable lowlight being All The King's Men). It will certainly impress those that it means to though and maybe I'll…
