Comment:

On this mix I finally had my excuse for putting Spoon and Robbers On High Street back to back. Is there a more obvious copycat act in indie rock than ROHS? Maybe Camera Obscura a couple albums ago . . .

Anyway, the "game" here is to spot the commonalities in juxtaposed (and almost juxtaposed) artists. I only intended the Spoon-ROHS match, but as I studied this I realized there were at least 6 or so more unintended ones. Good times!

The bookends on this mix are sheer ear bliss - it could have pure crap in-between (it doesn't, in fact I really like the Great Lakes Myth Society, Justice, Josh Rouse, and others) but with Carlberg and that Campesinos hit, you struck indie pop gold

Just a stand out mix, front to back. Really loved how you somehow managed to fit in tracks by Justice, Oh No, etc into a predominately indie rock mix. The Pelle Carlberg track rocks.
