A few days shy of when I originally promised, here is one of the mixtape drafts I did for the Ultimate Mixtape requested of me by Creative Loafing for the Annual Music Issue.

Some new, some old. Lots of spacey, noisy, heavy and British. These are some of the bands and tracks that would be on my desert island collection but it omits some of my absolute favorite artists (Bob Dylan, R.E.M., etc) which is why I wasn’t comfortable calling it an “ultimate” mix.

[mp3] 3. South – Silver Sun
[mp3] 4. I Am Kloot – From Your Favorite Sky
