Created back in June but uploading now. This didn't turn out to be a mix of women artists, but I'm glad it turned out that way. Finally got around to discovering Kate Bush, the new PJ Harvey …

Just a good strong collection of songs, this one was put together 15 February 2009 but just now posted. The Freakwater cut is a Loudon Wainwright cover. The Steinski mix is part of a 70 minute …

Made in October 2008 when it was far from sure what the outcome of the election would be.

Comment:

A late summer mix for driving or working. Tried to cover a lot of stylistic ground but still keep a thematic sweep from the chant opening ("our voice resonates") through a little euphoria (Einar raps, and so do the Jurassic 5 guys!), a quieter patch (the achingly beautiful "Water Ban" and "Where I Fall"), some Sonic Youth-inspired guitar rock, more rootsy tracks from Lucinda through Wilco, a little good old indie rock from the Long Winters, the wigged out rap of Gil Scott Heron, and closing with the almost benedictory "Local Posts" by experimental Norfolk and Western. Good listening for a Northwestern late summer/early fall afternoon with clouds rolling in.

To fend her? Your typography topples the neurons of my brain. ;) "Water Ban" good, though, and MC Einar better.
