okay, so it's not Carl's first day yet. in fact, it's me again. deal.
The Diskettes and The Port City Allstars made a split mix tape, and it's so marvelous, I want you all to experience some of it.
The Diskettes - "Do What You Need To Do" (preview)
The Diskettes made their side into one giant 15-minute track that is so much fun it gave me like three different sets of chills. I wanted to put the entire 15 minutes track up, but I couldn't in good conscience, so instead I clipped it to a 5-minute preview. It's a series of covers, blended perfectly with both self-referential and not, stock radio clips. But what's so wonderful about this stuff is that all of this stuff is so new: they're not covers people usually do (maybe the MASH theme) and they're not stock clips I've ever heard, everything is so fresh, so good. It's like a free breakfast that turns out to have more than just granola and yogurt. Above and beyond.
The Port City Allstarts - "I Dig Pop"
It sounds like this guy is playing the guitar with his mouth. Or the guitar is somehow in his mouth. And songs that use the alphabet like an easy chair are what AM radio is made of, and yet missing.
[Buy!]
