McCrank's Juke - March Mix (2010)
McCrank's Juke - March Mix (2010)
It's that time - where I drop my mix tape for the month of March. The McCrank's Juke line-up this month features a comeback, a couple of new bands, and a smattering of oldies to help tide you over till April. I really like the new stuff coming out from The National - that I am hearing on Jimmy Fallon, Twitter, and on Pitchfork. The sounds are legendary, making the last two albums look like warm-ups. Are these guys on the U2 / Coldplay train? Additionally new sounds from rap superstars and underground virtuosos - Diamond District lead off this set. I really like these guys and expect them to "massify" in 2010. I suspect that because they don't run with the likes of Ludacris or Jay Z - that they may still be legit and up germinating. Additionally, I have thrown in a 1984 rare B-side from original ska rockers General Public and a nod to The Smiths from Courtney Love and Hole. No ones said this blog would be easy, make sense, or evenbe coherent. The music mix collects the pieces and helps you to visualize some terrific musical textures. Rife with covers this list also, seems to capture the early half of March, with singles delivered from Fanfarlo, Wooden Shjips, and a killer video from Auf der Maur. The Areola Treat is an up and comer, with some strange vocals and killer pimp hooks. I suggest you go out, click the links, experiment with the sounds. You'll find something you like - I assure you!
