The Clouds Are Our Mountains

Mix by Chris

Download:  The Clouds Are Our Mountains


1. Dan Deacon - "Snake Mistakes"
2. The Knife - "One Hit"
3. Burial - "Ghost Hardware"
These first three songs remind me of Lawrence in Winter.  I got all three albums at the Lawrence Library and listened to them in the snow.

4. Hot Chip - "Colours"

5. Castanets - "Three Days, Four Nights"  Listen to every album this band has made.  They (he) are (is) fantastic.

6. The Walkmen - "The Rat"  I'm sure you've all heard this song before, but in case you haven't...

7. The Morning Benders - "Excuses"

8. Of Montreal - "We Were Born the Mutants Again with Leafling"  Lots of people hate on Of Montreal... with good reason.  They are corny and silly and pretty inconsistent.  But this album, and this song in particular, should teach us to ignore broad stereotypes. sometimes.

9. Amiina - "Sexfaldur"  Such a beautiful song, we played this at our wedding.
