I made you a mixtape

I can't think of a more romantic gesture than making someone a mixtape.
Sorting through your record collection for several albums to use, sitting by the stereo cross-legged going through the liner notes of one of CDs, scanning through the lyrics of a song while it plays in the background...you get caught up in some random memory of when you first heard that song or what you were thinking the day you bought that record and almost forget to press pause on the tape deck as the song ends. You carefully fold back up the sleeve and put it back in the case and get the CD out of the player and pick up the next one and put it in and press play. A whole new set of song-stimulated memories ensue...You really hope whoever you're making it for likes it because these songs aren't just any songs, they're bits of who you are packaged nicely in 3 or so minutes of soft guitars and dreamy melodies... that and you've just spent the last hour making it so they better be fucking grateful regardless.
sigh.
Its almost so pathetic you want to vomit.
Anyway muxtape.com lets you make mixtapes online, kind of... it's not the same experience but i'm still in love with it and more importantly it doesn't carry the lame stigma old school mixtaperey does [yet].
Here I made one for you, but that doesn't mean I love you or any of that. Just that I'm really bored.

So So Modern are so so amazing

I f***ing love these guys.
They play an insane tripped out synthed up kind of punk music. Its hard to describe - its chaos and confusion and I love it. Better still they're Kiwis. I don't know about any other radio stations in Aus but Tune played the hell out of their track 'upgrade your chasis' late last year. They've toured Europe, The UK and The States and had some sweet support slots so it's about time they spacejumped across the Tasman and scared Aussie audiences. I figured they might be one of those bands who just never see the point of touring here when they have success elsewhere [which is understandable] but I was WRONG.

Yes Yes... We are looking at the end of the year.. next summer. If you have any great ideas let us know!!! Any good festivals we should know about?

OH EM EFF GEE.
