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, shoe-gazing, 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.

if my city had a scene i'd love to do a trade, but to get something of this volume i'd have to go all over the country. looks pretty damn sweet, can't wait to hear it in its entirety.
