li’l bear | fall 2012 (the end)
a new mix! this one is kindof weird because i started it yesterday morning when it was cold and rainy, then finished it last night when it was hot and humid. in any event, i fear that summer is ending. and quickly.
tracks:
robby owen hale - front porch song one (live on a front porch)
black rebel motorcycle club - devil’s waitin’
brave baby - days of our youth
desert noises - highway cars
peter wolf crier - beach
colour revolt - 8 years (live at daytrotter)
damien jurado - nothing is the news (demo version)
des ark - some are love
shovels and rope - kitchen hallway (live at daytrotter)
rejectioneers - buried treasure (intermission)
starflyer 59 - just try
right away, great captain - i wait for you
all get out - bring it home
toro y moi - miss ya
the can’t kids - gimme a grab
clues - you have my eyes now
marry a thief - old enough
the strokes - i’ll try anything once
those lavender whales - family trees share their leaves
eels - things the grandchildren should know
i didn’t realize it at the time, but there’s a pretty solid southern influence here…12/20, by my count (robby owen hale, brave baby, colour revolt, des ark, shovels and rope, rejectioneers, right away great captain, all get out, toro y moi, the can’t kids, marry a thief, and those lavender whales). probably because we make the best music.

stuff i’ve been listening to, ytd, pretty edition.
(artists keep their colors throughout, so changing colors indicates shifting towards new material - the rate of color change and overall “redness” at the end compared to the beginning can be thought of as an indication of evolving listening habits)
for reference, here’s the same thing, 2008 - present:
i woke up yesterday with lfo’s “summertime girls” stuck in my head. and before you do anything else in life, you should probably go watch that video…it’s full of interesting facts like “there was a good man named paul revere” and ”billy shakespeare wrote a whole buncha sonnets.”
anyway, i made this springtime mix as an apology to myself and the universe. at first i just wanted it to be sugar ray’s “fly” 12 times in a row, but i’m saving that for my summer mix.
trackz:
1. toucans - oaxaca
2. metronomy - the look
3. bear hands - crime pays
4. why? - by torpedo or crohn’s
5. you can be a wesley - old in florida
6. foreign born - that old sun
7. phillip oskar augustine - internal combustion
8. toro y moi - leave everywhere
9. richard swift - lady luck
10. (the) tony castles - black girls in dresses
11. magic magic - squid hunt
12. ducktails - killin’ the vibe

MP3/STREAM: Toro Y Moi - Still Sound (Teen Daze Remix)
Chaz has been one of my biggest influences over the last year and a half, and it was a pure joy to get to mix one of his tracks. Hope y’all like it!

so here’s the thing…i know i’m biased. i know. but i honestly think south carolina is killing it musically right now.
you want creepy country revival? done and done. you want some more party with your country? done. you want pop with your country? done again. you want chillwave (sorry)? done, done, and done. you want indie? done. you want indie + electro-folk-pop? done. you want indie + the old testament? done. you want indie + non-shitty-emo? done. you want indie + generally-weird-shit? done again. you want band of horses? or hootie and the blowfish (i don’t judge)? got those too.
oh yeah, and rap too.
…i dare any other state to beat that.
We do this too.
Such Bad Handling by Toro Y Moi from My Touch
toro y moi - such band handling
i knew chaz from high school, the taxi chaps, and then the heist and the accomplice. but i didn’t really believe in his solo stuff until i heard this song. i got it on a mix or something back in…2007? anyway, it’s awesome.
…so listen up, y’alll. you won’t regret it.
