Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana abriu com mais uma bondade trazida por Kindness, "Gee Up", presente no seu álbum de estreia 'World, You Need a Change of Mind' (ver texto), seguido de mais um single dos Citizens!, "Reptile", também alinhado no álbum de estreia da banda, 'Here We Are' (ver texto).

I don't mean to be a prude when I do this, but we all had favourite albums last year, you can't deny that, and I had too many. In fact, so many that I loved that it was difficult to decide between them all, and I had been reading endless 'trendy choice' end-of-year lists before the year had even gone out. So I thought I might deliver some kind of personal justice by posting one that people can sneer at all they want, but might actually pick out something they overlooked and think "Hey, I might actually try that now, [...]

Turntable Kitchen's December Mix isn't our usual mix. Instead of a heavy focus on new music, I highlight some of my favorite tracks from the past year. Unlike last year though, I didn't focus on digital-only tracks, but instead highlight some of my favorite tracks released during the year regardless of the format it was originally released in.

I think you're going to like the July mix. It's upbeat, it's fun, and it's just oozing with joie de vivre . In fact, I hope you'll forgive us if we've been acting a little overly giddy recently, but life has been good to us. First, after months of planning, we finally announced the launch of Turntable Kitchen's Pairings Box which will allow us to bring you extremely-limited vinyl 73 singles (by some of the very bands you've been hearing on these monthly mixtapes), exclusive recipes, hand-curated digital mixtapes, and premium dry-food ingredients straight to [...]
It's almost hard to believe that it is summer here in northern California and the Pacific Northwest, because it has been unusually cool, and even rained (which almost never happens in the Bay Area during summer). One of the best things about summer is taking trips to the beach. We're blessed with being only a [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
It's almost hard to believe that it is summer here in northern California and the Pacific Northwest over the past week. But the unusually cooler temperatures, and even rain (which is almost non-existent in California in summer).
