Comment:

A late summer mix for driving or working. Tried to cover a lot of stylistic ground but still keep a thematic sweep from the chant opening ("our voice resonates") through a little euphoria (Einar raps, and so do the Jurassic 5 guys!), a quieter patch (the achingly beautiful "Water Ban" and "Where I Fall"), some Sonic Youth-inspired guitar rock, more rootsy tracks from Lucinda through Wilco, a little good old indie rock from the Long Winters, the wigged out rap of Gil Scott Heron, and closing with the almost benedictory "Local Posts" by experimental Norfolk and Western. Good listening for a Northwestern late summer/early fall afternoon with clouds rolling in.
