April 07 Mix

[In an attempt to keep my few readers abreast of what I am listening to, The Monthly Mix Series is a monthly post featuring music that found its way into my ears over the course of the past month.]

So, this one's coming a bit late, but alas it's here. The artwork this month is from LCD Soundsystem's set at Coachella. 

This month's mix has a bit of everything.  Here's a brief rundown:

I saw Killer of Sheep at the Nuart a few weeks back and the movie used "This Bitter Earth" so beautifully, I had no choice but to throw it in.  Daniel Johnston was on my mind a lot as I finally watched "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" and Friday Night Lights used the Bright Eyes cover of "Devil Town" which is great, even for a Conor Oberst song.  I really love the new National, the new Feist, and the Sea Wolf EP.  The new Maria Taylor is good if you like that Aimee Mann / female singer-songwriter thing.  Upon watching Regina Spektor's set at Coachella, I forgot how much I loved "That Time", so had to throw that on there.  The rest is a sampling of things seen and songs that came up on shuffle.  Of course, I had to end with LCD Soundsystem.  I fear I am becoming obsessed.

Thanks Dan! Nice Artwork - Mr. "I-don't-have-anything-for-the-cover,-oh-I'll-just-whip-out-this-awesome-shot-from-Coachella."
I loved Fidelity when it came out but never bought the album. That time gave me the extra little push. It is an awesome CD, Fidelity is way not the best.
