Today, I started to sync my iPod and something funky happened and everything got deleted (from my iPod, not my computer) and it took me a couple of hours to finally click the right variety of buttons to get the music to reload to my iPod. It's a miracle that I didn't absolutely come unglued, but I lived through the trauma. It would have been scarier if I didn't have all of my files on my laptop.
The reason I tell you this story is that it significantly cut into the amount of time and attention span I had set aside to blog for you today. I haven't really seemed to find any new interesting music this week anyway.
Fitz & the Tantrums' new album comes out 5/7. It's already pre-ordered and I've already listened to it streaming about 100 times now, but I'll be glad for Tuesday to get here so I can own it. They'll be on Jimmy Kimmel Live on 5/8. I don't watch that show, but I'll DVR it for their performance.
So, today I thought I'd just do a basic mix for you from the Wheel of Destiny to see if I find anything good I hadn't found before or had forgotten about. I actually tried to find something decent and, after about 25 songs, realized that it was boring to say "meh" about every song. I was about to give up and hit upon Hollis Brown. I'd downloaded a track recently from Paste Magazine's mPlayer and it turns out that I also have their Daytrotter session.
I like the retro sound of this band and expect I'll be listening to them a lot more in the future.
