Ok... time to deliver some music from my itunes to your ears.... enjoy.
1. All is Love - Karen O
Catchy Song from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer, will have you singing along in no time.
2. You Wouldn't Like Me - Tegan and Sara
An older song from T and S's debut album, cool build up and as usual great harmonies.
3. Love of an Orchestra - Noah and the Whale.
Madly in love with this song at the moment, thinking of running to vegas with it.
Epic and uplifting with that Noah and the Whale charm.
4. Sundial - Wolfmother
Say what you want about Wolfmother but they do know how to create an awesome riff. This song is no exception and the i love the use of piano.
5. Work - Bluejuice
This i just couldnt get out of my head, great beat and piano, catchy simple lyrics... very chilled and head nod-able.
6. Ampersand - Amanda Palmer.
Moving piano pop, heavy lyrics, great vocals. Amanda Palmer is an aquired taste but if you like Ben Folds then you will at least like the piano as i am pretty sure its him.
7. Get Well Cards - Conor Oberst
I really enjoyed Conors solo work away from bright eyes, he is an amazing lyricist and this song is not exception...
8. I Just Don;t Think i'll Ever Get Over You - Colin Hay
Taken from the Garden State soundtrack this is a moving peice of music, Colin still has it and some.
9. Claudia - The View
Something about the heavy scotish accent really works for me with this band. Love the guitar solo.
10. Not worth waiting for - Zoe Gault.
This is a little plug for a friend of my brothers, she is really talented. This recording was from the performance she did at the Opera house for an HSC showcase and really shows off her skills having composed not only the song but the orchestral backing for it.
I've put into a .rar file....
Download it Here
OK... thats my first mix tape... hope you enjoy it... Lemme know what you think.

Here you go… my totally full of myself feedback.
ReplyDeleteAll is love – very cute... although I don’t love her voice, I’m liking the tone of the music they’ve gone with for the Where the Wild Things Are!
You wouldn’t like me – I haven’t listened to a great deal of Tegan and Sara, although I remember then from when they first started out and had a video clip or two on rage etc back in the late 90’s possibly early 2000’s. I don’t love them based on this track but I’m willing to listen to more before I judge any further.
Love of an Orchestra – I dig it! It chortles along like a bit of a show tune which I’m a huge sucker for. And then you told me Laura Marling collaborates with them a bit and now I’m even more intrigued.
Sundial – Everyone hates on Wolfmother most of the time hey. I have to say I’m not really a fan but it doesn’t piss me off to have to listen to them like it does for a lot of people. Yeah they’re derivative but like... probably just means they have good taste in music and can’t help themselves.
Work - Ahhh dear. Bluejuice. I wish I had a real live legit reason for the annoyance I feel with these guys. Like I said to you… all I can seem to put it down to is that I saw them live before just listening to their music and now I just picture annoying boys throwing themselves about like they’re the absolute shit. It has elements of Aussie Hip Hop, which can sometimes grate on me.
Ampersand – I don’t mind Amanda Palmer and I like a few Dresden Dolls tracks but the only thing I really like about this track is the piano. OUCH!
Get-Well-Cards – I really haven’t listened to much Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes. How not indie am I right now! I like this song – enough to want to investigate more!
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you – This is a very soothing song and wasn’t the Garden State soundtrack littered with little gems – with the inclusion of Nick Drake who also has a similar sound.
Claudia - has a bit of a retro vibe this one. Or maybe I always just think that when the main lyrics of the song are a girl’s name! Still… me likey.
Not Worth Waiting For – Nicely written song… not really my cup of tea but I like the orchestration.
Keep it up Wilbur!
