I’m pretty picky about my mixes, usually favoring to post individual tracks rather then an hour and a half of bangers. With laptop producing and the insane amount of mixing ability available to everyone, a mix really has to stand out and have some character.
This one does, sent to me a few days ago by CLAKSAARB from the bay area.
CLAKSAARB- Step Once, Think Twice (Live In SF 11-07-09)

Let me start by saying that if you haven’t been to Red Rocks Amphitheater you need to make the journey. It is one of the most famous venues in the world for a reason; with opera house like acoustics and views that rival The Gorge, Red Rocks is a can’t miss. FuckBadMusic made its first journey out to Colorado last weekend for Monolith Music Festival. Although clouds and rain made shooting photos a challenge it didn’t put a damper on the artists or the crowd. Day one featured outstanding sets from The Antlers, Cotton Jones, Of Montreal, Caitlin Rose, Frightened Rabbit and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros stole the show just before the rain started to fall. Day Two opened up with Neon Indian and closed with The Mars Volta and featured Deer Tick, The Thermals, Phoenix, and HEALTH who laid down the loudest set of the weekend. Despite the weather an amazing time was had by all and I am positive this won’t be our last trip out to Monolith.

I wish I could make one of those web things describing the way in which all of Seattle’s best bands connect. If you ‘Continue Reading’, please be prepared for your head to explode, not just because what i am going to describe is very confusing, but also because the music contained within this post has been known to do that. This, of course, is all in celebration (Read: Promotion) of the fact that Past Lives is playing Situations on August 2nd. Nathan’s Myspace bulletin said “(ex-Blood Brothers/Shoplifting)” but I didn’t feel like that did Past Lives justice.
