1. Beethoven: Symphony #2 In D, Op. 36 - 2. Larghetto (George Szell / Cleveland Orchestra)
2. Sons Of Fathers - "The Country"
3. The Besnard Lakes - "Albatross"
4. Arthur Russell - "Another Thought"

6. Amy Stroup - "Quiet Hearts"
7. Andre Williams & The Goldstars - "Bacon Fat"
8. Oberhofer - "Away Frm U"
9. Atari Teenage Riot - "Too Dead For Me"
10. Anywhere ft. Rachel Fannan - "Rosa Rugosa"

A week behind, but what a mix. The Beethoven is perfect, The Besnard Lakes make beautiful, epic music. Amy Stroup is Katie Herzig but not. Oberhofer and Anywhere are lovely. The Atari Teenage Riot track I hated at first, but its noise grew on me. AND Lara Landon is one of those random Christian artists I somehow have in my iTunes, due to NoiseTrade, but it's not bad on balance.

Spotify playlist at the bottom, what's not available on Spotify is just below. I'm obsessed with this Arthur Russell song.
