you had a dream they called you king of all the hipsters

Hiiiii.

This is Shea here, the guitar media protege. If you ever hear some incomprehensible mumbling in the background during a show, it's probably me. heh.
So anyway, I've been asked to occasionally post stuff on the blog. I've been meaning to for ages, but wanted to wait until I had something worthwhile, and after weeks of preparation, i finally do.

You might've read on the comments section a couple of weeks ago that richard and i were making mixtapes for summer. That's right, old-skool mixtapes with the tracklisting written in blue biro on the back, and possibly a twee illustration. (if you're getting a professional one that is)
I started on one ages ago, and i've been continuously changing it since. but last night, when i probably should've been studying history or something, i started from scratch and i think i've finally made one that works. it's mostly summery indiepop with some twee and fuzzy rock thrown in for variety. I've been listening to it all this morning and it certainly goes with the clear skies and warm weather.
So anyway, here it is:

Side A:
The Fiery Furnaces – Tropical Ice-Land [EP]
Apples in Stereo – Stream Running Over [The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone]
Tullycraft – Twee [Beat, Surf, Fun]
Clor – Good Stuff [Clor]
Envelopes – Sister in Love [Demon]
Architecture in Helsinki – Do The Whirlwind [Incase We Die]
The Bats – Calm Before the Storm [Daddy’s Highway]
Rocketship – Hey, Hey, Girl [Hey, Hey Girl 7”]
The Ladybug Transistor – The Swimmer [The Albemarle Sound]
Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci – Honeymoon With You [How I Long to Feel That Summer in My Heart]
Stephen Malkmus – Freeze The Saints [Face The Truth]

Side B:
The Cure – To The Sky [Join The Dots: B-Sides & Rarities]
Art Brut – Good Weekend [Bang Bang Rock & Roll]
Jesus & Mary Chain – I Love Rock & Roll [Munki]
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! – Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood [Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!]
Phoenix Foundation – Going Fishing [Horse Power]
63 Crayons – Rocketship [Good People]
Suburban Kids With Biblical Names – Seems To Be On My Mind [#3]
Math & Physics Club – Weekends Away [Weekends Away EP]
The Field Mice – If You Need Someone [Where’d You Learn To Kiss That Way?]
Simon & Garfunkel – The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy) [Tales of New York]
Yo La Tengo – How To Make a Baby Elephant Float [Summer Sun]

When my exams are over I'm thinking about buying heaps of cassettes, and posting them out to anyone that wants them. Or if you download music, you could probably just make it yourself.

Enjoy!
