Happy St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! Hope you’re wearing your green and acting polite. We will announce the Bow Tie winner in just a few hours, but so that we all win a little today – we’ve put together some holiday “diddleeidie” to keep the banshees and harpies at bay. Look at it sittin’ there. Like a pot o’ gold at the end of this post.

Collaboration Compilation

We got together with Los Angeles DJ, National Geographic, and put together a Launderette-themed mixtape for everyone.

Röyksopp, Whitest Boy Alive, Francis Lai, Friendly Fires, Ferraby Lionheart, Astor Piazzolla (Koop), OMD, St. Vincent, Robbie Dupree, Tyler Ramsey, Jim Noir, Metric, Phoenix (Ivan Beck), Loney, Dear… this is good stuff. The kind of thing we’d have on repeat in the storefront (if we had one).

Extra thanks to Nat Geo for working with us! Put this one on while shining your shoes or flying a kite, let it take you away a little.

Hit Me With Your Best Aught

Keith — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 08:00:10 +0000

Here’s a fun one: Top 5 songs of the Aughts. Not 2009 – but the whole decade. Try and distill your last 10 years of music down to 5 songs. Best 5 songs…for you. Some of our very favorites didn’t make it to make room for others. Some might end up on your list that don’t get played much now, but were too important at the time. Five songs isn’t many, and 2000 was a long time ago.

Our 5 best’s respectively:

Keith
(This Is) The Dream Of Evan And Chan – Dntel
Out Of The Races And Onto The Tracks – The Rapture
Let It Die – Feist
If I Ever Feel Better – Phoenix
Romulus – Sufjan Stevens

Leslie
Clouds Parting (8:14 A. M.) – The Elected
(She says this an intro to her 5. A palate cleanser, if you will.)
Kissing The Lipless – The Shins
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) – The Arcade Fire
Surfing On A Rocket - Air
Lovestain – Jose Gonzalez
Monument – Mirah With The Black Cat Orchestra

Karl
Recycled Air – Postal Service
Thursday - Asobi Seksu
Hardwood Pews – Horse Feathers
Go DJ – Lil Wayne
Basement Party – The Cool Kids

We’d love to see your lists. Send them in to the comments below.
