Got a little mix I just made. Its, like my mixes usually are, just a few songs that I really like. Some old, some new. Just whatever I felt like putting on it.

1. Guided By Voices - As we go up, we go down (from Alien Lanes LP).

Whats there to say. GBV is one of my all time favorites and Alien Lanes is definitely one of my favorite albums of theirs. This is as classic a GBV song as they get. Just heard the latest Robert Pollard solo album the other day. It sounded great as was to be expected.

2. Cola Freaks - Dodt Batteri (from dodt batteri 7")

One of the many many many amazing danish punk bands around. Apparently they´ll be releasing their first full length album this year so that´s something I´m very excited about.

3. Thee Oh Sees - Sugar Boat (from Dog Poison LP)

A great song from a great band. Released two excellent albums in 2009 but I seem to be one of the few that prefers Dog Poison.

4. Chavez - The Guard Attacks (from Ride the Fader LP)

A 90s classic that´s way too often overlooked. Pure guitar-indie-rock genius.

5. Justin Ripley - Borrowers (from Just Just LP)

Don´t really know anything about this guy. But you can get his album for free on his website. As well as a rather splendid compilation of home recordings. Highly recommended.

6. Smog - Morality (from Supper LP)

Smog is another one of my absolute favorites. His albums as Smog and under his own name (Bill Callahan) are pretty much all great.

7. Slowblow - Is Jesus Your Pal (from Quicksilver Tuna LP)

An Icelandic classic. A beautiful lo-fi folk song. Kinda sounds like a lot of the stuff that´s popular these days.

8. Kurt Vile - Don´t get cute (from Constant Hitmaker LP)

You probably all know Kurt Vile by now. As you should. This is just one of the many great songs he´s released.

9. Vollmar - Tell the dirt (from Tell the dirt LP)

Justin Vollmar is an criminally underrated songwriter. He also happens to be a friend of mine and I´ve been lucky enough to play a handful of shows with him. All his albums are great but his latest one (tell the dirt) is probably his best. Go check him out.

10. Bonnie Prince Billy - Wolf among wolves (from Master and Everyone LP)

There´s not a lot to say about Will Oldham. He writes great songs and releases great albums. But you probably all know that by now.
