Mix No. 3 nearing completion

AH, Grand Alto has sold me up the river... Probably because I wasn't at his record release party.
Yeah so I'm back to work. Which means I'm back to blogging more frequently. When GA went Blackroc, I feared the mix wasn't going to work. Then gave it a full listen and figured I could drop some neo soul on you fools. Lee Fields & The Expressions, "Ladies" It was featured as a closing tune on Entourage this past season. GA didnt mention this in his little Flurries entry, but he hit me back with a surprisingly Soulful Yo La Tengo track, "Periodically Double Or Triple" One of the reasons I love this third mix is its very heavy on tracks from 2009. If someone had told me we'd go from Lee Fields to YLT, I wouldve said yeah right. I was waiting for a chance to drop "Walkabout" It has this Motown sound. Bright and jangly rhythms with a good rhythm, something somewhere between Frankie Valli and The Beach Boys. And while I don't share GA's hatred for Animal Collective, I don't love them. I also don't like Deerhunter all that much either, but as far as this side project goes, I want to hear more of it. And then the reason I've been stumped is: How Do You Follow St. Vincent?
