Mixtape December 2019
The final monthly round up of the decade and as Australia is baking in another December heatwave there is a Summertime theme to this month's playlist. Keep Hydrated!
1) Wandering Star by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
I’m a sucker for chiming bells on a record at this time of year.
2) Kiss Like The Sun by Jake Bugg
A guitar stomper from Nottingham’s finest.
3) Ice Cream Party by Modest Mouse
A six minute sonic invitation and a welcome suggestion during the Aussie Summer.
4) Must I Evolve? By JARV IS...
Jarvis Cocker monologues set to unsettling musical jams like Pulp circa 1992.
5) Cane Fields by Natural High Music featuring Wayne Marshall, Jesse Royal & Kabaka Pryramid
Social justice message in a modern reggae song - however I don’t endorse fire starting in the cane fields.
6) Sunrise by Alice Ivy & Cadence Weapon
Great tune with summer vibes if you still have the motivation to jump around.
7) Beautiful World (acoustic) by The Beautiful Girls
An acoustic version of a 2018 single from these Aussie dub heads.
8) Your Capricious Soul by Michael Stipe
Another legendary frontman returns with new solo material after a quiet decade.
9) Hollow World by Elephant Stone
Psychedelic pop
10) Enjoy The Silence by Nada Surf
Lively cover of this Depeche Mode classic that is almost 30 years old. I’m feeling like Ancient Indie Kid now!
11) Everlasting Nothing by Beck
Beck has just released his 14th album Hyperspace and this electronic gospel number was co-authored with Pharrell Williams.
12) Show Love by Winston Surfshirt
Laidback grooves that will soundtrack another hot Aussie summer.
13) Talk Deep by E^ST
I can assure any youngsters that you will want sleep and talking deep all night will interrupt this. Priorities change as you get older.
OK Boomer
14) Dance Monkey by Tones and I
This song now holds the record for spending the longest time at the top of the Australian chart (18 weeks so far).
15) Orphans by Coldplay
Coldplay have been on the scene for two decades now.
16) Get On by Easy Street
Australian band with a nod to Bob Dylan.
17) Roddy by Djo
Hard to describe but hard to dislike.
18) Out Of Control (The Avalanches Surrender Remix) by The Chemical Brothers featuring Bernard Sumner
The original is a pounding big beat monster from twenty years ago but this remix version has surfaced with the Avalanches chilling things out considerably.
19) Feel Good Summer by SCABZ
Don't be fooled by the title, this grungy takedown of entitled wankers and the end of the effin' world as we all burn together
20) White Wedding by Graham Coxon
A cover of Billy Idol's classic that didn't make his latest soundtrack.
I’m a sucker for chiming bells on a record at this time of year.
