Mix of the Week Returns
by Dan Sicko May 8, 2008 in download
It’s was nearly a full year since their last mix, but you have to give Mix of the Week some slack (they’ve been rocking since at least 2000). Back in April, a new 45 soul mix from Soul-Sami of Club Soul Sides found its way to the top of their page. Even if the mix is from 2004, I’m hoping this is the impetus for much of more cross-genre MOTW goodness we’ve come to expect.
Welcome back Pirkka!

Slowdive: Catch The Breeze (Creation EP) 1991
Pale Saints: Half-Life Remembered (4AD EP) 1992

The Cure: A Forest (Polydor LP) 1986
The Stone Roses: I Wanna Be Adored (Jive LP) 1989

Jane’s Addiction: Jane Says (Warner Bros LP) 1988

[Bonus track] Fishbone: Sunless Saturday (Columbia 2xLP) 1991

yeah, this definitely looks like a great primer on that ’shoegazer’ sound with some equally interesting diversions into US indie when i actually listened to rock. thanks for the tip.
