Monthly Ipod Rotation

I finally got around to purchasing some new albums. While I write papers, work on other schoolwork, and drive to school I have a "chill mix" playing. I basically live by this mix. It's comprised of my favorite type of music, chill/electronic/samba/bossa kind of stuff. Past additions include Koop and Bonobo. Thievery Corporation is a standard in this mix. It started out with about 2-3 albums and has grown to 188 songs equaling 15.3 hours. There was a point where I had listened to the mix so much I felt like I was starting to go crazy, so I had to buy some new albums.

Here are this month's additions...

'Stereo Deluxe 150' by Mo'Horizons, 'Moving On' by Hird, 'Jet Sounds' by Nicola Conte, 'Samba Esquema Novo' by Jorge Ben

When I'm looking to branch out of my usual "chill mix" I listen to the podcast from KCRW called Top Tune of the Day. SUBSCRIBE TO THIS NOW. It's how I discover all of my favorite music like Bird and The Bees and Venus Hum. JUST DO IT. One free song gets downloaded to your itunes everyday-1 out of 10 I'm not a fan of-so, for the most part, the songs are great. Best part: it's free! Proof that giving away music isn't a bad thing. I've bought a lot of albums as a result of this podcast. Thank you KCRW!

I hope those of you who are in the U.S. have a lovely Thanksgiving!
