Mixtape: Academy of Altered Lovers
I’ve been trying to keep up with all the good music that’s out there, and lately I’ve felt somewhat discouraged. I fall behind in my reading but when I catch up, there’s still only a couple of things that really grab me. I don’t blog about new bands that often because I just don’t think I can fake it — I just don’t find 10 bands a day that I think are awesome. If I did, maybe I’d have a super popular mp3 blog. Anyway, I do find lots that I fall in love with, and I always tuck those gems aside to include on mixtapes. So while it’s taken a bit for this latest one, I can assure you it’s full of stuff that I think is entirely worth the listen. I start with my favorite of the bunch, the Nut Brown tune, “I Need a Love Like That.” It’s been the jam in my car for a week. Enjoy the whole mix, and as always please feel free to send your music projects my way — I do love to listen and hear new things, even if once in a while I get grumpy.
