Hummmmm!
Finally getting around to listening to Beats Antique, and wow. They describe themselves as the intersection between electronica and world beats music (Bonnaroo bait, basically) but they do it well. Tori's live track is welcome. Balmorhea, from Austin, are one of the coolest instrumental outfits around. The Mexican duo Rodrigo Y Gabriela is continually stunning. "Wide Awake" is an enormous guilty pleasure for me. It's just a fucking great pop song. The PDF Format track is a video game-style cover of the Beach Boys song. Sounds strange. Is. But it works QUITE well. Dawn Landes, ex-wife of Josh Ritter, doing the Margo Guryan song is pretty great. And "Keep The Car Running" is probably my favorite Arcade Fire song.
Etc.
Weird, great mix.
