M3 Volume 17… Available Now
Indie! Folk! Electro-pop! Winter! M3 Volume 17! I’m finishing up my final assignment of the semester so I’m a bit pressed for time, but I want to get this up real quick before I head to the airport with the Fav and fly out to LA for the weekend.
Quick run through: You’ve got some of the best songs of the past few years (”All My Friends”, “Heart’s A Mess”, “Ritournelle” and “Roscoe”) alongside some more obscure pleasures (The Dodos, frYars and Daniel Rossen’s exquisite Jojo cover), with a solid grip of Scandinavian gems rounding out the mix courtesy of The Dø, Lykke Li and Studio’s Shout Out Louds remix. So yeah, it’s a nice mix of tracks and there’s some impressive international diversity here, and it generally serves as a good soundtrack for trekking through the city while you freeze your balls off this winter. Obviously this is ideal for colder climates, but this’ll get you in a seriously winter mood regardless.
Oh and the artwork is probably the only good thing I’ve done since, like, high school. Enjoy.

Holy shit, I heard that song ‘Roscoe’ by Midlake such a long time ago, absolutely loved it, and then forgot about it!
Thank you for introducing us once again!

Saw you post about the Damn Shames the other day, but I suggest you check out another Edinburgh band, We Were Promised Jetpacks. Their track Quiet Little Voices is everything anyone who reads this blog would ever want.

I live in LA. If you need any info, directions, suggestions, etc, feel free to email me. The rain stopped yesterday, and it should be crisp and clear for your vacation. Have fun in LA.

Merrrrry Christmas, Derek.

Nice mix, I look forward to listening to it. I actually haven’t heard of most of these groups, so it’ll be nice. And though I don’t always dig your tastes (I’m a long time reader), I always trust you enough to give it a chance.
Thanks for the new mix, have a merry Christmas. Cheers.

Great album artwork. I have had that no U turn blue picture as my background for over a year on my media center PC. Major kudos.

Is there any way i can get a hold of the older M3 mixes? These are great samplings of artists i know I, at least, would never have heard.
