dirty blue jean boogie twang. this week some fine north american country-fried rock and roll. from the boss’s foray into folkie-dom, to loretta lynn’s jack white produced van lear rose. i love me some pedal steel and soft harmonies and emmylou harris, and the boss and bright eyes and arcade fire sounding like the boss. these are all my favorites, so i can’t really speak anything but kind, kind words.

Greetings! Back from South East Asia and excited to be sharing music again. This mix, #6 in the can, is the first for 2007 so I figured i’d kick it off with a bang and some bumping synths and rattling bass (do not listen on computer speakers, itll ruin your experience).
