The Saturday Mix #4



Today's mix will be slightly different. It will have a theme, and that being anything SLEEP-related. here goes!

Late Night Alumni - Seemingly Sleepy
A really 'chill-out' song. and indeed, it's a song I could leave on repeat on a slow ride on the streets late into the night, just looking at the remaining few lights left that dot the silent urban landscape and taking in the cool night air. Just hope I don't fall asleep at the wheel.

Something Corporate - As You Sleep
Vocalist Andrew McMahon has a side project, Jack's Mannequin, which he is currently chiefly pursuing as SC is on hiatus. So for those who wonder why the two bands could have sounded similar, here's why.

Meiko - Sleep
featured her before, enjoy. anyway, turn up the volume on the video, it's a tad too soft on normal volume.

The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

Until June - Sleepless

The Postal Service - Sleeping In

School of Seven Bells - Half Asleep
first ever repost of a song. reason being that this is a very interesting video set to the song. very tastefully done.
what begins as an unguarded/train of thoughts slowly can become/an addiction to the slumber

The Saturday Mix #2



Meiko - Under My Bed

Priscilla Ahn - Red Cape

Azure Ray - Sleep

Imogen Heap - Goodnight and Go

Au Revoir Simone - The Lucky One

decided to do one featuring female artists.

i love meiko's songs, well written lyrics. i mean, most can actually identify with them. comparisons have been drawn between her and priscilla ahn (both have featured in Hotel Cafe in Hollywood). i think they're both really good singers and songwriters. the difference in that, is meiko's songs are more oriented towards love, and therefore sounds mellow. whereas priscilla ahn's songs are more "fluff-like" or rather light-hearted, be it singing about stuff like having a dream of flying from the highest tree, or having her red cape caught in the engine of a plane. but if you listen to it a bit more, there's prolly some deeper meaning to her songs. that said, i totally love them both.

will follow up with the new album by Au Revoir Simone sometime soon. how often does one find an indie pop band, all girls, with a touch of synth and electronic, and a damn fine one at that?
