mix 001: wake up, we gotta get up now
Here’s my January mix. I realize it’s already February tomorrow, but I guess that’s only fitting. These are the songs that made an impression on me this past month and really defined January for me. Since the words may be hard to read, here is the tracklist. Enjoy!
Of Montreal - “Nonpareil of Favor”

I decided to actually, you know, live up to my promise of finding new bands myself without assistance from blogs, music publications, etc. So today I joined Ourstage and was pleasantly surprised by the quality I found in just a few minutes of listening to their charts. This was my favorite song I found, and I quickly proceeded to send the band a message requesting that the song be available...

I ate my poptarts, wrote 1000 words of my beyond-all-hope-of-winning nanowrimo novel, and decided to surf the blogs and listen to music until my shift ends. Listened to a few songs, nothing too...

Hello, everyone. My name is Noel and I like music. I want to try music blogging. Ideally, I’d like to post a song every day, which probably won’t happen because I get lazy about these things. I will make a good effort though.
Thanks for stopping by.
