Wow – that month went by fast. Probably because I was too busy and tired to keep track of it. Crayzey. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to keep up as well with music as usual due to my not being able to access the internet for most of the week. But I’ve been doing my best during the weekend, mostly just making sure to catch the big new albums, but still, I’m checking the blogs. Here are the highlights of September.
1. Lust For Youth – Behind Curtains
2. David Byrne and St. Vincent – Who
3. Fresh And Onlys – 20 Days And 20 Nights
4. Grizzly Bear – Gun Shy
5. Sirs – Eye For An Answer
6. Dinosaur Jr. – Recognition
7. Jens Lekman – I Know What Love Isn’t
8. Deekie – Happy & Wrong
I started my service this month and I really don’t have a lot of spare time (like, for relz) so that’s why this mix has taken a while to materialize. That being said – August was another solid month for indie rock. Unfortunately it seems as though most Israelis haven’t even heard of the genre of indie rock (despite the fact that apparently they’re from one of the 25 top countries from which readers responded to Pitchfork’s recent People’s List (and that a solid Israeli indie rock band made this month’s mix)), so they may not care much about this mix, but hopefully some of you out theres in the world wide web will enjoy it.
1. We Are Pirates – Running
2. ועדת חריגים – העולם אבר מזמן
3. Ariel Pink – Symphony Of The Nymph
4. GRMLN – Coral
5. Peace Arrow – Gremlins
6. A.C. Newman – Not Talking
7. Shy Kids – Teachers
8. Mount Eerie – Ocean Roar
9. DUDES – Teenage Rebels
Israelis generally don’t know indie rock that well, unless you go to Korduroy in Tel Aviv or Uganda bar in Jerusalem – those guys are always spinning cool shit. But whatevs – I’ve been keeping up on the interwebs. Here’s the lowdown for the month.
1. Merchandise – Time
2. Suburban Living – Give Up
3. Ravenous – Ugly Fish
4. Telstar Drugs – Te Quiero Corazon
5. The Mouthbreathers – Birthdays
6. Cruel Summer – White Flag
7. Mode Moderne – Foul Weather Fare
8. Nomen Novum – Anita, Korea

Summertiiiiiime, and the living is easy in Tel Aviv. Here are some cool indie tracks for your ears to molest.

Whereas in April I could barely find enough songs to put together a short mix, this month I left out a ton in order to keeps thing brisk and well-paced. May was a great month for music and for myself. I went to Washington D.C. and New York and though I didn’t see any live bands, I found out about a bunch just by going to the record stores in the places and picking up weeklies and stuff. Anyways, here’s the mix, I think it’s a pretty good one.
1. The Hiya Dunes – Definitely Retarded
2. Monomyth – Sacred Hand
3. Daze Daze and the Siamese Grave – Faceplant
4. Pillowcase – Brain
5. Hemlock Shaw – Pals Around
6. No Joy – Junior
7. Weed – Tie To Everything You Own
8. Doldrums – Jump Up
9. Nomadic Firs – Cover Bombs
10. The Tight Ship – Home Again
Contrary to the claims of some, April is not the cruelest month, but considering the way this May has been so far – warm one day, cold the next – it may very well earn that title. Any way, this month’s mix is a bit short cuz too many of the stupid bands and artists I blogged about last month want money for you to download their tracks so fuck ‘em, they don’t make the list, but here’s a mix of those who did.
1. Steevn Foster – Taking It Too Hard
2. Screaming Females – Rotten Apple
3. Heatherwood – Eden
4. Zach Schimpf – Lost In Black And Red
5. Pure Bathing Culture – Ivory Coast
6. Honey Luvv – Yeti
7. Moonface with Siinai – Yesterday’s Fire
(p.s. record companies, these mixes help promote your artists, please leave them be!!!)
