Download: King of the Beach

 

1. Green Eyes - Wavves - King of the Beach - 2010
    Really enjoy how hard this song hits, and thought it would be a great way to start out.  The whole album is a lot of fun, and have been listening to a lot since it came out last year.

2. Killin’ the Vibe - Ducktails - Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics - 2011

Pretty self-explanatory, great chilled out track and album.  

3. Harmony in my Head - The Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady - 1992
    One of my favorite punk bands.  Very simple song structure, with a fast beat.  Whats not to love.  I really enjoy listening to this very loud

4. Goodnight Bad Morning - The Kills - Midnight Boom - 2008
    Another great relaxing, chilled out track.  
 
5. Jesus Fever - Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring for My Halo - 2011

Just got this album a few weeks ago, and really enjoyed this track.  for some reason i thought it would be appropriate.

6. I Found that Essence Rare - Gang of Four - Entertainment! - 1979
    I remember the first time I heard Gang of Four.  I was living in Lawrence with Fieldhouse and Josh Parshall at 1642 Oxford.  It was an incredible summer, and this song and album remind me of what little i can remember.

7. King of the Beach - Wavves - King of the Beach - 2010
    Title track of their album.  Really enjoy how dirty this song is, and how appropriate it is for summertime.

8. Hamilton Road - Ducktails - Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics - 2011
    Another great chilled out track from these guys.

9. A Rush and a Push and the Land is Ours - The Smiths - Stangeways, Here We Come - 1987

My girlfriend Holly really enjoys The Smiths, and it has rubbed off on me a bit.  Not one of their more popular tracks, but a very good one.  I really enjoy how Morrisey grunts at the beginning of the chorus.

10. New Beat - Toro Y Moi - Underneath the Pine - 2011

Great funky track that i cant stop listening to, so it made it on the mix.

11. Selector - Mark Ronson and the Buisness International - 2010
    A quick little spacey interlude from Mark Ronson’s new album.

12. Still Sound - Toro Y Moi - Underneath the Pine - 2011
    Another great track from this new album, looks like 2011 is gonna have some great albums coming out this year.

13. So Low - Carol - 1981
    This is a really cool track that I stumbled across on the interwebs.  Wish i knew more about her.  this is a very spaced out track, and i love how it is kinda out of tune and beat.

14. Mirrors - Dam Funk - Toeachizown Vol. 1 - 2009

All i can say is that i think this guy is making music just for me.  I love everything he does.  check out his five disc album Toeachizown Vol 1-5 that he put out in 2009.  sounds like it came from 2099.

15. Hey Love - Stevie Wonder - Down to Earth - 1966

Classic.

16. Mornin’ - Starslinger - Volume 1 - 2010

Nice little instrumental, with a big beat, and lots of samples.

17. Good Friday - Kanye West ft. Everybody - 2010
    My favorite from his Good Friday Series that he released online.  Samples Biz Markies “Just a Friend”/ Freddie Scott’s “You got What I Need”.  a great song any day of the week, but especially on fridays.

18. Helicopter (Diplo and Lunice mix) - Deerhunter - 2010
    I love the original that Dixey put on his mix.  One of my favorite albums of 2010.  diplo and lunice just elevated it to another level in my opinion.

Thanks for the listen.
