Mixtape Monday

For this week’s mix, a famously sampled Bob Dylan cover, T Rex in their early hippie nonsense phase, new stuff from Dengue Fever and Late of the Pier, and a White Whale track from the last issue of Esopus. The mix is a little on the dark side until the end, but it’s the middle of winter, so you and your johns can like it or lump it. Also, a challenge: try getting off during the Teach-In track. Dutch ABBA wannabes with a really surreal command of the English language (”Maybe it’s a bigot!”) challenge all but the most focused minds.

Click below for individual tracks or here (Side A) and here (Side B) for the whole shebang in handy-dandy RAR archives. As always, if you like the music, you should use some of your hard-earned money to go buy it. In a real store. One that could use your money. Or, if you’re impatient and want mp3s now, go to Amazon. Their store is better than itunes.
