revgoomba: For a couple of years now I’ve been aware of Yewknee’s Summer Mix Series but until now I have never participated. In fact, I have never made a mixtape (well, when I was younger I would try and tape my favourite songs off the radio and then play it to death upon completion… but it’s not the same thing). I’ve made my mix, just thirteen songs, to the theme of “Scottish” although you could say it’s a little more specific than that - but that’s the theme I picked when I set out to make my mix, so I’m keeping it. 01 - Arab Strap - The First Big Weekend02 - Sons & Daughters - Gilt Complex03 - Belle and Sebastian - Another Sunny Day04 - The Pastels - Nothing To Be Done05 - Vague ( ) Space - Waiting To Fall06 - Orange Juice - Holiday Hymn07 - Teenage Fanclub - When I Still Have Thee08 - Cocteau Twins - Lorelei09 - 1990s - See You At The Lights10 - Frightened Rabbit - Swim Until You Can’t See Land11 - Idlewild - When I Argue I See Shapes12 - The Jesus And Marychain - Darklands13 - Camera Obscura - The Sweetest Thing  [DOWNLOAD ZIP] | [PLAY ON SPOTIFY] Grab this post-haste!

Cold Front - A Dontstaylong Mix

It still hasn’t registered to me that it’s not summer anymore, but apparently we’re about 6 weeks away from the end of the year. Who knew.

Just like pulling all your old sweaters out of storage, here’s a collection of cold weather songs for you. Expect lots of synths, reverb, and generally fuzzed-out-ness.

  1. Games - Planet Party
  2. Crystal Castles - Not in Love (Feat. Robert Smith)
  3. Collider - Amarind Sashes
  4. Dntel - Pillowcase (clip)
  5. Jesu - Blind and Faithless
  6. P.I.L. - Death Disco
  7. Mount Eerie - Between Two Mysteries
  8. Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti - Beverly Kills
  9. Ride - Taste
  10. Black Tambourine - For Ex-Lovers Only
  11. James Marshall, Sheryl Lee & Lara Flynn Boyle - Just You
  12. Fennesz - Transit

Presented as one long MP3 because having random floating tracks from mixes is annoying, isn’t it? 

[Download]

For serious, grab this one.
