BiH 52

It's not that I don't want to publish more of these, it's just that I don't have enough time. But whatever. I complain about it every time, so I should just accept the new cadence and roll with it. I have made a few goes at BiH 52 over the last few months and it just never got off the ground. I think starting with this one, I am just going to be a bit less discriminating. We get what we get when we get it, and some will be better than others. Despite my efforts, BiH has always been this way. 5.5 years now.

My other recent issue is Painting With, the new Animal Collective album. I haven't really needed to listen to anything else and it has been in steady rotation, daily. Oh and I need 4 of these tickets so hit me up if you have extras. Any at all... NM and I did catch them at the Fox in Oakland and it was pretty incredible. A mix of new and old material, mostly new. But I had never seen them perform Feels-era material before myself. This is a long tour so check them out if you can. Certainly one of the best bands out there right now by a long shot.

Onto this mix, which does not include any Painting With songs because you should just listen to that album, and uncharacteristically only includes one song that I heard for the first time today. This is a healthy mix of a lot of different types of music. You'll dance, you'll cry, you'll trip out, you'll get down with your lady or your man (or both). I hope you enjoy it, and hope it was worth the wait.
