I feel as if I’ve been going on endlessly about Weird Tapes, but clearly I don’t mind enough to not write this. I am in love with this track “Party Trash”, and what’s not to love after all? Perhaps it’s because it’s the end of the weekend, and what better way is there to get over your hangover than to get right back to dancing?
Today was a wonderful day. It was one of those days when I randomly came across some songs, and instantly fell in love with them. The heavy, heady love of the day for me is Organ Morgan. Very very very Avalanches-esque in terms of eclectic samples and that overwhelming old-fashioned feel. But really, any song that starts with “do you want to have a party? yeah, yeah!” is bound to lure me in. Listening to Organ Morgan is like meeting someone you feel you’ve known your whole life. Love at first listen. It makes me dream of the luxurious beach dance parties, I could and should be having, and if the guests happen to be mistaken about whether it’s the 60s, all the better.

If you were to strip the skin from my bones and search for the true essence of Epsilon, you would find Theophilus London. This is exactly where I’m at in life. Download the Mixtape, throw him some $$$$$, and kill this as much as I have.

Somehow, while looking for something else, I stumbled across the song “Daniel” by Bat For Lashes, and what a miraculous stumble it was. Dark, ethereal, and with hauntingly piercing vocals, she has become my new favorite thing. Though the song is lovely as is, I was aching for a remix to bump up the tempo, and after searching far and wide through a sea of mediocrity, this was the best I have come across (though personally I think the vocals are mixed too low). However, the original never disappoints.

Edit: Just now found a much better remix by Blueshift, check it.

The past two years I’ve made mixes to celebrate the joys of friend love (and beautiful music of course), and I’m at it again. This was meant to come to you on Valentine’s Day and “real life” pushed it back, but I think the theme is timeless. This is just a little token to thank you for being with us on this journey, and always remember, Danger Loves You. Tracklist: [...]
