february music mix is here! as much as i kind of despise valentines day/month i have to admit i was thinking about it when putting this mix together. it’s not 100% love songs, in fact there are a number of songs on here that are distinctinctly un-love songs. you know, valentines is a bunch of hoo haa anyway. BUT if you need something for your valentine that’s anti-hallmark just burn this playlist to CD… you can take complete credit, i won’t mind *
there’s something about us. download it here. tracklist:
- yeasayer – i remember
- fleet foxes – helplessness blues
- alexander – truth
- the middle east – blood
- bloc party – i still remember (lull’s music box & tears mix)
- arctic monkeys – the lovers (acoustic)
- death cab for cutie – love song (the cure)
- bon iver – skinny love (das kapital rerub)
- passion pit – to kingdom come
- rtp – all that’s left (rac mix)
- clap your hands say yeah – is this love?
- flight of the conchords – the most beautiful girl (in the room)
- radiohead – thinking about you
- bruce springsteen – i’m on fire (cousin cole’s bad desire mix)**
- daft punk – something about us
* a mix-tape is more romantic than anything in the entire world.
** i listened to this 12,000 times yesterday.
all music is for sampling purposes only – please go out and buy the artists’ records & support them at their shows!
I think some XX will fit in nicely with this mix too! I love Crystalized from their last album…
love that middle east song.
I really like the mix… and the artwork! Is the background a part of a Gunnel Wåhlstrand painting? I love her work!
nope, the artwork is just something i knocked together in photoshop. glad you like the mix.
I have been loving your music mixes. Looking forward to hearing this lovely one. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you! I really enjoy this.
Paper Jet are making something great for valentines day that you can write this mix on!
Check it out next week! http://paperjetpilots.tumblr.com/page/1
The something great will be available in Joburg and even Pretoria!
This is such a beautiful mix! Based on your wonderful taste, I think you’d really like The Civil Wars… Record just came out today. Thanks for sharing!
I had guessed that you had designed the artwork from different pictures etc. If you’re interested: On http://www.foammagazine.nl/portfolio?foto=103 down at the bottom of the page is the painting you cover has reminded me of. She’s painting pictures of her family members in large sizes using ink.
Your mixes are my best friends. Seriously. Thank you so much for making them!
Ohhh, the mix is lovely. As is that image!!!
@Kerstin – turns out the image i used is one of hers, it was on auction a little while ago at bukowski’s:
