Let’s slow it down right quick how about. This jam feels like when you’re in your kitchen at 9 am in the morning trying to finish that last batch of jello shots as quickly as you can before you get on a boat on the lake. If this song was released more than a week ago I’m gonna be really pissed because I could have been using it to usher in the sun. If you’re not gonna include a Black Crowes or Tom Petty song on your mixtape, you might as well include one by a band that sounds like the lovechild of the two. The original is an all seasons song this version was made just for spring and the awakening that comes along with it. The song and it’s lyrics (which can easily stand next to some of the best ever written, I SHIT YOU NOT) are both nearly overshadowed and bolstered by the weeping violin.

It’s muted and the swells of the original are corked with calm. Turns out, the live version is just as stellar as the album version but in such a different way. This song has soundtracked every hard thing I’ve endured for the past year. Wake Owl :: Wild Country (Live at Daytrotter) If you aren’t as in love with the man singing here, Tyler, then you can I cannot be friends. If you think that Branches doesn’t win the covers game, you’re a dolt. It’s probably a certifiable mental health issue at this point.ĭOWNLOAD Don’t Stop Now via Noisetrade :: FACEBOOKīranches :: I Believe In A Thing Called Love However, I am right obsessed with Hayden and as such, will include one of his jams on every tape I make until that obsession subsides. So, let’s just be honest: This jam doesn’t necessary fit the mood of this here tape. Seems like we waited for a thousand years…ĭOWNLOAD the Summertime EP via Noisetrade :: FACEBOOK Here’s a mixtape to commemorate that.ĭOWNLOAD What Winter Could Not Kill :: A Spring 2013 Mixtape I’m so goddamn glad winter finally heeded my calls to fuck off. It makes that first warm light seem so much greater than it probably is. While the Midwest might be the greatest of assholes for punishing the innocent with its wintertide grip, it is also a kind of savior for rescuing us with spring.

It was not the worst I’ve seen and yet for some reason, it felt as if any day now I would just wither into steam. The last 30 winter’s taught you to survive this.įor some reason, this winter was rougher to weather. You promise things you cannot give to the Gods in exchange for a single blade of green grass and you convince yourself that last year’s winter taught you to survive this. Here, when it turns cold, you grit your goddamn teeth and steal yourself against the wind and you pray it’s one of those seasons that ends sooner than the Farmer’s Almanac says it will. This is the conundrum of the Midwest clime and it is one that baffles me every damn year, despite 30 of them here. I want to both berate nature for having inflicted all those cold, hellish months on me and thank it profusely for having whisked them away with chirping birds and blooming iris’ and sunshine.
