![[Best of 2011] Dave's 111 Favorite Songs of 2011](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3994629_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link This is far more delayed than I might have hoped, but I enjoy making this list of my favorite songs annually, so I can return to it and see where my thoughts were within the moment. Ultimately, this list serves mainly as a compelling iPod playlist. I concluded my first list in 2009 with 111 songs, and for posterity's sake, have continued along with that tradition. The actual rankings are generally quite fluid, as I could say [...]
2011, surprisingly enough, marks the 5th anniversary of Mixtape Muse. For something that started as a place to post the playlists for my little 'ol college radio program, this site has grown into something I could have never imagined. To celebrate, I've created a mixtape featuring artists that have been favorites over the past five years/are friends or are simply new artists I've just recently discovered. When I began selecting tracks, I soon heard a sonic theme that sort of matched the cover art (above) -- which I, oddly enough, happened to pick out before I had even started curating [...]
Wunderbar – so langsam wächst auch die Shoegazeszene in Deutschland, nachdem man im Rest der Welt schon vor Jahren erkannt hat, wie der Hase läuft. Heute kann ich Euch die großartige Dortmunder Band Shoreline Is vorstellen (die ich im Shoegazr-Blog entdeckt habe) – die Jungs haben gerade ihre erste EP veröffentlicht, die «Demo» heißt und die man entweder für ein paar Euro bei Bandcamp oder (legal) kostenlos bei Mediafire oder Soundcloud herunterladen kann. Wer auf vertäumten „Surfgaze" steht, wird sicherlich auch die Songs von Shoreline Is goutieren. [...]

Here's a new track from German based band Shoreline Is that's sure to pop up on my summertime playlist as I drive off into the sunset. This pop jam "Living Things" and 4 others appear on the recently released EP from the band simply titled Demos . If you're liking what you here from these shoe-gazey style mates, head on over to their soundcloud or bandcamp to have a listen to some of their other music. The band name ironically works quite well with the sound they create. Download: Shoreline Is [...]
Shoreline Is hail from Dortmund, Germany, which looks to be about two-and-a-half hours from the closest shoreline - on the North Sea (or Nordsee, if you speak their native language). They've also left themselves open to a possible awkward ending to their band name, seeing as how anyone could follow up "Shoreline Is" with various...
As summer drifts into view these glistening tunes come into frame, not from some distant sun-soaked beach— rather from Dortmund, Germany. Inspired by the endless expanse of gray industry surrounding them, Shoreline Is crafts songs that are "driven by what you've always been longing for, but can't have: Everything fleeting, floating and out of reach. If you can't go to the beach, why not write (cheesy) songs about it?" Sounding a bit like Craft Spells or Twin Sister, the trio makes glowing pop vibes that will bring summer just a step closer, no matter how far away it [...]
Communications that arrive in to us with a degree of personal tailoring are likely to get more attention. Human nature really I guess and a nod that we are deserving of more than a bcc now and then. Dortmund 3-piece went exactly this route the other day, explaining what they were about and how they'd be a good fit for this blog. Of course it matters that their music is excellent but following their email I spent a good hour in the company of their songs. They admit they come from an industrial part of Germany but that it had [...]
Shoreline Is = Off The World These sunny songs are birthed not in the sand of warm beaches or the light of the summer sun, but rather in the antithesis. Dortmund, Germany is where these dream-pop tunes were crafted, " driven by what you've always been longing for, but can't have: Everything fleeting, floating and out of reach ". Go grab three pleasing, season inducing tracks at bandcamp .
