Mixtape Monday

Here’s this week’s mix. It’s continuing on last week’s semi-theme of being a little on the darker side. Last night was cold and windy and it was nice to lay in bed with a book and the Bows album, which I only just discovered.

The mix is also a little bit eighties, what with the Thompson Twins, Falco, my all-time favorite Tom Waits song, and, um–well, maybe it’s not so eighties besides that, unless you count New Order side project Monaco, who came out in 1997. The Remi Nicole song comes from the soundtrack to the St Trinian’s remake, which I’m totally itching to see even though it looks a little bit dumb. Who knows if it’ll ever be released in the US.

As always, if you like the mixes, buy the albums. At a real record store, preferably. I’m thinking about posting links to record stores in my mixtape posts, just because seriously, they need your money, so if there’s any in your part of the world that you think are good e-mail me and let me know. In the meantime, if you don’t care about real objects, there’s always the Amazon mp3 store, which is marginally less lame than itunes.
