For the longest time I suffered with a problem I'm sure many of you also suffer with: lack of hard drive space on my puny laptop, it being packed to the gills (or gigs, for that matter) with my digital music collection. I officially "ran out" of room a few months ago, and have since been pretty stagnant with my music listening.
But I have a job, and therefore I have money (a little bit, at least). So I recently went to my local Best Buy and got myself an external hard drive. It's a good thing. I have since been able to listen to all the music I've been meaning to get. This mixtape is a swath of that new music. Some of it is by bands that I had never heard before. Some of it is by bands I had known and loved already, but I just hadn't gotten around to listening to their new stuff. So here's what I've been missing out on....

| 1 | Deerhunter : Cryptograms |
|
I don't even know where I heard of Deerhunter. I think I first mistook them for Deerhoof (which I really can't stand) and was initially put off to them. Luckily I finally was able to get this cd, and have been loving it ever since.

| 2 | Tom Waits : Fish in the Jailhouse |
|
Before you guys freak out on me, yes, I'm already a fairly avid Tom Waits listener, I just hadn't picked up this record yet. But I'm glad I did.

| 3 | Victor Bermon : Farewell Lunch for Laura |
|
Just got this one. I caution to call it "ambient" music, because I don't think that label ever makes anything sound exciting.

| 7 | Tim Armstrong : Into Action |
|
I had heard this song awhile back on the radio, loved it, but I embarrassingly didn't know who sang it, so my friend who I was driving with (a little more in tune with the punk scene than myself) had to fill me in. In case you didn't know, Tim Armstrong is one of the guys from Rancid. This is his new solo album. It's really kind of reggae-ish. It's really good if you're into that kind of stuff.

Confession: until about a week ago, I had never listened to any Ryan Adams. I've been meaning to for a couple of years now (literally), I just didn't know where to start. So far I'm liking this one a lot.
