Radio Free Silver Lake 2009 Mix

It's a lot like what happened this time in 2007... Your general conduct has been judged to be, I dunno, radically acceptable this last year, so nearly two dozen fantastic local bands have donated a song each as a great big collective present to you.

Here's what your first rad new music mix of the new year contains:

1) Signal Hill – Llangolen (rough mix) - off their next album
2) The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra – Needle in the Camel’s Eye - (Brian Eno cover) unreleased
3) The Rhone Occupation – Told You So - off their next album
4) Manhattan Murder Mystery – Tired of Being a Man - demo
5) Automatic Drawing – The Captain and The Sea - off their recent EP
6) The French Semester – Backwards Rolling - off their next album
7) The Temporary Thing – Heartless Lover - off their next album
8) The Sweet Hurt – Where Would You Go? - off their last EP
9) Nightfur - Things Will Be Alright - off their next album
10) Death to Anders – Ann Marie (Demo) - off their next album
11) Shiloe - The Death of Madame Mustache ver 2 - alt take of song off their latest release
12) The Parson Redheads – You Can Leave It - off their next album
13) The Western States Motel – Stampede vs. Morricone’s Ghost (Tandemoro remix)
14) Light FM – Try 2 to Keep You Happy - off their upcoming album
15) Fol Chen – Cable TV - off their recent album
16) Afternoons - The Intervention of Daniel Fields - (live)
17) The Spires – David Wild - off their next album
18) Amateurs – Karma King - off their next album
19) Divisadero – The Fight - off their last EP
20) Dirt Bird - Easy - off their upcoming album

I really recommend downloading all these tracks, putting them in a play list in the order above, and burning a cd (or zapping it into your space phone or something).

Many thanks again to all the bands who took part in this... Please do right by them in 09 by purchasing music directly from them via their sites or at shows. They really deserve your support.

UPDATE (12/30/07): Fixed The Western States Motel track, cut The Hearts of Palm UK cover (by band request), and added songs by Shiloe and The Parson Redheads.
