Spring Mixtape :: 2 of 2
About to drop the bomb on your weekend!!! If you don’t find something on this mix you like…. oh well, too bad for you.
Ratatat :: 17 Years – Dope stuff from Ratatat. Just getting warmed up… (btw… can’t wait for their new album. May 18)
Gorillaz :: On Melancholy Hill – I am loving this new album. Chill song for what’s about to come…
The XX :: VCR (Matthew Dear Remix) – Stepping up the energy slightly. One of the best XX remixes I have heard yet… and there are tons out there.
Blue Scholars :: New People (Empire of the Sun Remix) – You can’t help but MC along after the 3rd time you hear this one. Catchy stuff!!
Crown City Rockers :: Balance (feat. Scarub) – Straight outa Oakland. Not Too$hort gangsta… but sick base line groove from the Bay.
ChocQuibTown :: El Bombo (Toquemen el Bombo) – Time for Maragaritas!!!
Wailing Souls :: Shark Attack – Is it 4:20 yet? Now that’s a pool party!!!
Billy Ocean :: Caribbean Queen – Billy is still the Friar of Fresh. I think of dark tanned bodies when I hear this song. Love it!
Vampire Weekend :: Holiday – This song makes me want to order a Dos Equis from a beach bar that exists in my daydreams…. ice cold with a lime…mmmmmm!!!
Ra Ra Riot :: Can You Tell – Penny loafers and poped collars punk
Free Energy :: Free Energy – Listen to this one if you are lacking energy. Free Energy has plenty to dish out. Love the 70’s Camero guitar licks… think Cars.
Two Door Cinema Club :: Something Good Can Work (The Twelves Remix) – BOOM!!!! Now we are shaking rumps… “Let’s get this started girl”
The Beach Boys :: Wouldn’t It Be Nice (The Girls Can Hear Us Remix) – Usually not a fan of retro remixes…but… this is a perfect summer party jam.
Crystal Castles :: Crimewave (Midnight Conspiracy Remix) – Pure remix 80’s new wave magic. The Daft Punk beat at 1:36 is LEGIT!!!!!
wait what (the notorious b.i.g. vs. the xx) :: one more chance for a heart to skip a beat – This wait what mashup will make you say “wait… what?” VERY EXPLICIT (I warned you… but you still listened. Don’t blame me.)
Animal Collective :: Daily Routine (Phaseone Remix) – Ending it all with a chill ass remix. My fav Collective mix to date.

Outside Lands and Well Wishes for Yauch
First, a quick thanks to Coach for the guest post access!
I haven’t been to Lollapalooza or Coachella. I haven’t even been to that many concerts in my day. However, when I heard about the Outside Lands Festival – a 3-day concert in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco in August – I instantly became a festival goer. With Pearl Jam, DMB and Beasties headlining, along with Silversun Pickups, TV on the Radio and about 60 other great bands, it should be ridiculous.
Just yesterday, though, we heard that Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys has been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on his salivary gland, and the Beastie Boys have cancelled their upcoming shows, including Outside Lands. I’m obviously disappointed, but happy to hear that it is totally isolated and very treatable. Here’s the Beastie Boys’ video announcement of the diagnosis on YouTube:
So, here’s a shout out to Yauch with my all-time favorite Beasties cut.
Listen: Beastie Boys – Jimmy James
In an effort to familiarize myself with some more bands that will be playing at Outside Lands, I’ve been doing some homework. Here are a couple of gems I’ve found so far. The Zion I track is a great summer jam and the Calexico track just oozes road trip south of the border. Thanks, again, Dave for allowing me to share! Enjoy.
Listen: Calexico – Victor Jara’s Hands
Pool Party Jams for the 4th
I have to assume that a large percentage of the fine citizens of this great country will be celebrating poolside for the 4th. The cuts below should go great with those hot dogs and gooey blended drinks.
In the spirit of the diversity of America, I have included a handful of genres on this post. Enjoy and make sure to use sunscreen.
Listen: Steel Pulse – Roller Skates
Listen: Weezer – Island In The Sun
Listen: Alan Jackson – Pop A Top
Listen: Damian `Junior Gong` Marley – All Night
Listen: Ozomatli – Cumbia De Los Muertos
Listen: The BPA – Toe Jam (feat. David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal)
Listen: Wisin & Yandel – Rakata (Hip Hop Remix)
