Merry holidays, everyone. I’m leaving in an hour to spend a week in the arctic north, so I want to make sure this episode gets out to you before I go. Just in time for X-mas, I give you the fifteenth installment of our little mixtape series. So turn off all the lights in the house, turn on the christmas lights, turn this up loud on the stereo and treat yourself to a goblet of nog. ‘Tis the season of music and nog. In the lineup this time around are a few old favorites and some bands which are brand new to me. Some of these new discoveries are Menomena (three dudes in the tub), Yeasayer, Los Campesinos!, Matthew Dear, Simian Mobile Disco, and Mobius Band. The song from Mobius Band is apparently about one of your friends stealing your girlfriend: “There’s lots of gray shades, but that don’t make black the same as white.” Speak on it. Interspersed between these new tracks are some goodies off the most recent releases from Radiohead, Kings Of Leon, Caribou and Hot Chip. I have to go finish cramming stuff into my backpack now, but I’m not exactly sure how you pack for -40F. I’ll probably toss in an extra hoodie or something.
