Bonnie Raitt Knock-Out Gas

36 / May 2013 / Andy Grogan

Thoughts:

Burnmixes need more distorted guitars.

Old artists are more interesting to me right now than young ones which is why Waxahatchee didn't make the cut, but Paul McCartney did.

I'm really pleased with the pacing of this mix, so I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

  2. Paul McCartney / My Valentine

    I love hearing the little hints in Paul's voice that let us know he's getting older, but I wish he'd consulted me on the acoustic guitar solo because it really sucks.

  5. The dB's / The Adventures of Albatross and Doggerel

    This sounds nice on headphones.

    More Info from Last.FM

    Along with Let's Active, The dB's defined the Southern power pop/jangle pop movement of the early to mid-80s. The band's music was a quirky blend of smart pop and psychedelia crossed with the more experimental side of new wave. Though they've never received widespread recognition outside of critical acclaim, they provided a key link between Big Star and 80s alternative acts such as R.E.M.. Their latest work is 2012's 'Falling Off the Sky', which has attracted serious critical praise. Read more on Last.fm more...

  7. Unknown Mortal Orchestra / From the Sun

    More Info from Last.FM

    Unknown Mortal Orchestra first dropped into the world in late 2010 as a bandcamp account carrying a single called ‘Ffunny Ffrends’. ‘Ffunny Ffrends’ was everything you imagined it might be – alien beatnik pop music that echoed 60s psychedelia and krautrock minimalism with just a hint of gentle weirdness that suggested its roots might equally lie in the verdant indie of the equally distant New Zealand scene. Ruban Nielson is a New Zealand native who had transplanted to Portland, Oregon, USA with his band The Mint Chicks. Read more on Last.fm more...
