The Mix v21.0

I decided to drop the "Sunday" qualifier so I can post whenever the urge (and the energy) strikes.

Mostly zippy indie rockers today. The song by The Dears is terrific, as is the new Stereolab. God help me, the song by Theatre of Tragedy is like auditory crack.

Even though the immortal Devin Townsend has produced 2 awesome metal albums this year, the new CD by Agalloch is pushing him hard for 'Best Metal of '06'. This despite the fact it's sung by Gollum. Seriously, I expected the dude to say "What is taters, precious?" at any moment.

Pay attention to the cheeky number "Big Bang" by Cursive. It's a tasty little sacrilege about God, reason, and "snakes with apples". Lastly, an "ode" to the Mansion Family murders. The song starts, inexplicably, with an unrelated sound clip before settling into an earnest examination of the Tate murders, complete with yodeling. Did I mention this is a Song-Poem selection? Yeah. That explains a lot.

Mix time: 45 minutes
Rapidshare Link (with 'unrated' bonus material)

1. Theatre Of Tragedy - "Storm"
2. James Dean Bradfield - "Émigré"
3. The Dears - "Fear Made The World Go Round"
4. 6pm - "Vista"
5. The Long Winters - "Sky Is Open"
6. Emily Haines - "Doctor Blind"
7. Stereolab - "Crest"
8. Agalloch - "Falling Snow"
9. Cursive - "Big Bang"
10. Red River Dave - "California Hippy Murders"

Comments:
There's some really excellent stuff in here. The Cursive tune isn't normally my thing but it might find its' way onto a certain sciency freethought concoction soon. So far, just from sampling the mix, Theater of Tragedy's Storm has got to be my pick, but I'll be able to say more after listening to the whole thing.
