Sommersaults and Jelly Beans

SNHM 006: Thanks, this is hard.

The sixth of these.  Do people care about them?  I can’t tell.  Oh well.

The city seems to be stuck, and can’t make up it’s mind whether or not it’s winter yet and fucking annoying. At least in Saskatchewan you knew it was winter.  Because you nearly die if you go anywhere a door without 8 sweaters on.  Anyways.  I think this playlist is made of out stuckness.  Is a thing?  I don’t know.  It also only features bands that start with only the first couple letters of the alphabet because I’m kind of lazy.  Anyways, I think it works.  And speaking of lazy, I haven’t put this in an any order.  Flag & Family is the work of a friend of mine and I think you should check out his stuff and download the album for free.  It’s on facebook or something of that nature.

The next couple of these will probably be my favourites of the year and the decade type things.  Let me know what you think of them, it’s validation for this relatively self gratifying thing of me sharing other people’s art.  Paisleac@hotmail.com.

You know you're from Saskatchewan when:

no matter how fucking cold or disgusting it is, you still got outside for your cigarette.

Scene Not Herd Mixes 005: Gravity's got nothing on us now.

I actually took this picture! This is the lovely Kay captured on Artistic TZ Polaroid film with an old Land Camera.  Oh summer and friends, how I miss thee.

Anyways. This is basically what I’ve been listening too lately.  They go well with buses, late nights or the falling sky.  I hope you’ll forgive the two covers on one mix and the longer songs, especially Idiot Heart but I couldn’t not put it on here.  It’s too good.

Also.  I hope none of you thought, “Oh cool a Built For Spill cover” when you read the tracklist.

Scene Not Herd 004: Look me in the eyes.

If I were Bono I would say this is number fourteen, but as I am not we’ll go with the fourth.  The title and the picture should become pretty obvious by merely glancing at the tracklist.  There’s some post-rock and dream pop in there but we’ll leave that alone.  So here we go.
