Since I’m already unable to decide what the primary focus of this blog is (comics? music? faith? art? yours truly?) I’ve decided to introduce something new. I’m going to make a monthly mix, with tracks culled primarily from the music blogs I read, and occasionally some gems from my own collection that I think you might need. I make these mixes anyway, for myself, so I may as well share:
Easel Ain’t Easy mix (to the max!), Volume 1, January 2009
1. Dear Nora – Fargo
2. Fleet Foxes – White Winter Hymnal
3. Jenny Lewis – Barking at the Moon
4. The Decemberists – Los Angeles, I’m Yours (in honor of my recent L.A. day-trip!)
5. A.C. Newman – Like a Hitman, Like a Dancer
6. Santogold – L.E.S. Artistes (XXXchange mix, ft Movado)
7. Mates of State – My Only Offer
8. The Smiths – Asleep
9. The National – The Thrilling of Claire
10. Bon Iver – Blood Bank
11. Vetiver – Everyday
12. The Acorn – Crooked Legs
13. Andrew Bird – Fitz and Dizzyspells
14. Okkervil River – Lost Coast Lines
Let me know if you want it.

I really like that Lost Coast Lines song. Very good for singing in the car.
Yes, I agree! Although I can’t hit all the notes when he sings the lower parts. The first Okkervil River song I heard I didn’t like so I didn’t give them another chance until recently. I like when a band surprises me.
