A monthly mix: December!



It's finally here! Sorry about the delay, but better late than never, right? I went back and forth trying to decide whether to make the December mix a Christmas mix or just another monthly mix. In the end I decided to just make it non-holiday-themed. I've got a partial Christmas mix put together though, so perhaps I may finish that up and post it a little later. Not a ton of surprises on this one I suppose, but a lot of good, chilly songs. As far as new-ish stuff, The Fauns track is from their debut LP that came out earlier this year. It's really great dream pop through and through and I'd really recommend checking it out if you dig this song. There's also a brand new Weed Hounds song that I've been playing over and over lately. I see a really great record in their future... fingers crossed! The Mix closes with a seriously fuzzy Ecstasy Of Saint Theresa jam that I'd advise you listen to super loud!

DOWNLOAD IT!

01. Unrest "Isabel (12" version)"

Earlier this year I sent out this video to illustrate how the current administration is masquerading as a leadership team different from the previous one. The video documents how the choice between Democrat and Republican is really no choice at all. Recent history has confirmed the message of this video. Here we are almost a year after Bush left office and we see that really only the rhetoric has changed. The same program of economic, military, and civil rights disintegration remains in full effect. The sequel to this video is now available to shed more light on this false choice of governance. This sequel exposes: 1) how mega banks like Goldman Sachs created this financial crisis to then introduce their solution: a government hand-out of trillions of dollars to them; 2) how this same scheme is being set up again on a global scale through the development of a cap-and-trade derivatives market; 3) how Obama is simply managing this economic disintegration program that was furthered by Bush (and his predecessors) going back as far as Carter; 4) how Obama's actions have been just as unconstitutional as Bush's and how our country is being pushed deeper into an oppressive surveillance society. The sooner we acknowledge this false choice of governance we are given, the better the chances are that we can produce a real choice that represents us, not the institutionalized power structure pillaging us.
