McCrank's Juke - February Mix (2009)

McCrank's Juke - February Mix (2009)

It is almost half way through February and good news seems to be everywhere. New releases in store for The Felice Brothers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, D'Angelo, Silversun Pickups and count them three albums by Prince. Considering this list is only 1/4 inch of the total musical iceberg for 2009, it shows that the musical landscape might be shifting. The worm is turning as they say. I am looking forward to lots of indie acts, some electro inspired disco, Echo & The Bunnymen performing 2 shows at SXSW and a whole host of bands coming through for Coachella. Ra Ra Riot, Los Campesinos!, Asobi Seksu and The National - all on tour! To make matters even better I have compiled a list for McCrank's February Music Mix. This includes a few obscure tracks and a couple of oldies pulled from SPIN and the likes. Ida Maria is getting a lot of space on my ipod this week, along with Bat For Lashes and some of that quirky shit from Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. Yeah I said it! Either way , enjoy some smooth sounds, light one up and plug into this playlist to get the February jones down on your jock.

PS. What is the deal with Jane's Addiction being in the studio with Trent Reznor?

If anyone can help me get into the SXSW shows, it would be much appreciated...I gots no connections but really want to see the Bunnymen, haven't seen them since 2000 (San Francisco) and have been a fan over 20 yrs !!

Will??? Don't you play guitar for the Bunnymen? You should already be able to get into the shows -- that is unless Mac has decided to pull another WAYGDWYL and left you out in the cold - JK. If you go Will take a high-end digital recorder. Would love to post the show on the site. The 2006 show was too noisy and had a bum audio.

Best of luck. Be seeing you!

Don't know if you have this but I believe the Avalanche EP is out of print and the song "Avalanche" is my favorite of their post 1997 output.

So here ya go
