A Good Man Is Hard To Find

not to post over bens' latest mix, but i've beed inspired.

for your listening pleasure: a good man is hard to find. it started out with some slower songs that i really liked and morphed into basically a list of a lot of music that shuffles through my most played list.

also, i'm not really good at saying 'no'--consider this a two-disc set.

but again, similar to ben--this mix is probably more for myself. i hope you enjoy.

you can download the tracks here, with cover art and the .m3u list as well.

the antlers

i've had this album on repeat for the last month. which is kind of demented because it's one of the most depressing albums this year. with a title like "hospice," you should know you're getting into trouble. the band pretty much covers all the topics: death, depression, inadequacy, abortion, cancer, abuse. not exactly light listening. but it's really, really good. the music is beautiful, almost like a soundtrack to your dreams/nightmares.

so if music has a way of overcoming your emotions, listen with care. but i highly recommend this album.

Hospice - The Antlers
