Monthly Mix #17: July 2016

July 2016:
Mixing in some old in with the new.  July's been a slow release month.


1. Cookies - "Go Back"
July 17 was Cookies Day.  Remember when I talked to Ben Sterling about it?

2. Emily King - "Focus"

This new single ensures your standard edition of The Switch is due for an upgrade to the deluxe.

3. Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - "Midnight Rider"

Sharon & the Dap-Kings take this Allman Brothers classic for a spin. 

4. Son Lux feat. Hanna Benn - "You Don't Own Me"

A remake of his "You Don't Know Me," this time with marching band instrumentation. 

5. The Game feat. Anderson Paak & Sonyae - "Crenshaw/80s & Cocaine"

I've basically been listening to only Anderson Paak for the past month.  I put him on last month's mix though, so this is just an excuse to squeeze him back in on a technicality.  The Game has definitely had stronger verses (How many times can you rhyme the n-word with itself?), but I love that blaxploitation soundtrack funk.

6. Francis & the Lights feat. Bon Iver - "Friends"

Good to hear from Bon Iver again. 

7. Daryl Hall & John Oates - "She's Gone"

I saw Oates & Hall at PNC Bank Arts Center this month, so they've been on heavy rotation.  Did you know that John Oates hates that people call the band Hall & Oates?  In an interview with Esquire, he said, "There isn't one album that says Hall & Oates.  It's always Daryl Hall & John Oates.  From the very beginning.  People never note that.  The idea of 'Hall & Oates,' this two-headed monster, this thing, is not anything we've ever wanted or liked."

8. Esmé Patterson - "Feel Right"

An exceptional vocal performance.

9. Tokyo Police Club - "Not My Girl"

TPC are such a fun band to listen to in the summer. 

10. Floating Action - "Don't Stop Loving Me Now"

This has been on my list to include since the beginning of the year, but I didn't find the right spot for it until now. Lo-fi reggae vibes.

The Next Round - Episode 47: George Clinton

It's not every day that you get to meet one of your idols, but I got to do just that a month ago in Las Vegas.  The legendary George Clinton had a beer with me after his show at Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas.  George just celebrated his 75th birthday last Friday, and there's one thing he'd still like to cross off his bucket list.  Find out what it is, as well as his thoughts on Prince, To Pimp a Butterfly, and more.

The Next Round - Episode 46: Pop Etc

The Next Round returns with a two-drink chat with Chris Chu of Pop Etc.  Chris discusses the benefits of songwriting as a discipline, working on a song every day in his Brooklyn apartment.  That prolificacy resulted in literally hundreds of ideas that were then brought to his bandmates and unanimously whittled down to the ten tunes on their latest LP, Souvenir.  Listen to Chris talk about the time he snuck into a Twilight movie to try to hear his song, and find out which '90s alternative band he finds criminally underrated.

Buy yourself a Souvenir and go see Pop Etc at Baby's All Right on 8/12.
