your scene sucks (a seattle based indie anthology) 3 of 5

Artist Song
modest mouse  bury me with it 
pedro the lion  rapture 
mirah   cold, cold water 
the fire theft  sinatra 
the prom  the city gets lonely 
damien jurado  halo friendly 
carissa's wierd  to be there now 
the dead science  unseeing eye 
suffering and the hideous thieves  disappear 
these arms are snakes  riding the grape dragon 
the blood brothers  the shame 
juno  all your friends are comedians 
the new mexicans  woodpecker 
sleater-kinney  o2 
the blow  how naked are we gonna get? 
all-time quarterback  plans get complex 
little champions  pillow ass

okay, so i love seattle, a lot, and i love the music scene, a lot, so this mix is my dedication to seattle, and western washington musicians.
i've been wanting to do something like this for awhile, and i've finally done it. it's a five disc set of my favorite "indie" bands from seattle. there's a good mixture of genres, experimental, post-rock, emo, instrumental, electronica, indie-pop, indie-rock, trip-hop, singer/songwriter, garage rock, some harder stuff, though i did shy away from the more hardcore bands, for continuity purposes. also, if you're like, "hey, why isn't so and so on here", it's because it's my mix, and i don't like them, so i left them off on purpose. the point of these mixes is to educate people on some cool bands from seattle, hopefully many of which you haven't checked out yet. (olympia, tacoma, and anacortes are also represented). i tried to not put too many older, defunct bands on there, but i did anyways. there is also a wealth of new, up and coming bands over the course of the mixes, so it's a relatively good mix or new and older bands. i hope you like the series.

I was getting worried. I didn't see any Juno on your other two seattle mix's. I thought to myself "Am I gonna have ta start some shiz? is this yaya goning to deny the power of Juno? Why I'm gonna..." But then I saw the Juno. The Juno is good. Oh, and the series rocks my socks!
