June mix off recap

Nicki's review:

Okay mixtapers I feel like this is already a pretty successful venture! I'm impressed with our mixtaping capabilities here. and i shall follow Allison's review format as follows:

NICKI - yes well this was an awesome mix naturally. but my two faves were
1) Reckoner by Radiohead. Need I say more? They are my favorite band of all time and that song slays me. At first you like the simplicity, but then you realize how layered the song is- as with most of Thom Yorke's music and then it just gets dreamy. simply dreamy.
2) B.S.E. by Young Galaxy. This one is fun cause it's a new band my brother introduced me to. He's so good at that. I don't have time for that stuff- hence the mix tape club. B.S.E. stands for Black Swan Event, I'm pretty sure we've attended an event like that. Give em go, this band is out to have some fun!

My least favorite song on my mix, Oslo by Blonde Redhead. I hate it. I also hated XTAL by Aphex Twin, it simply came down to no other songs that started with those letters. sorry about that guys.

CHRISTINE - this was a fun pop album. I need music like this for working out and stuff. Faves:
1) Wasted by Carrie Underwood. I'm not sure why I don't own any Carrie Underwood because I love me some lady country singers. This was a good one that I'm glad to have in my collection.
2) Vienna by Billy Joel. Good one! I haven't heard this song is such a long time and I'm a Billy Joel fan for sure. Listening to Billy Joel gives me the same feeling I get when I Netflix Cheers. It's a safe, nostalgic thing.

Least favorite- I have a hard time with Glee remakes. I basically think that they usually bastardize music. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that a show like that is out there, but I keep trying and I can't love it. Especially when they break into Jump. That just doesn't work for me.

ANGIE - I'm with Allison on my number one.
1) Birds by Kate Nash- what a beautiful, lovely song. What can I say? I loved it. Period.
2) Calgary by Bon Iver. Duh. Again, no need for words. You get it.

Least favorite. Aime by Damien Rice. I used to love him, but now I can't deal. I feel like screaming, "TAKE SOME ANTI-DEPRESSANTS DUDE!"

ALLISON - Well you are my winner! I was shocked and please with this mixtape, my friend. I really, really enjoyed it. I thought you had a nice variety of genres and good balance and diversity with your artists.

1) Fancy by Reba McEntire (I'm weirded out by the spelling of her last name). This song is truly the best Reba song there is. And it made my day that you put her on your mix. Let's be honest though, there is no way you could have passed this up. Thank you.
2)Galileo by Indigo Girls- well I hate to be cliche, but.... Seriously though, it's just a great song.

Least favorite is Cold by Maxwell. Cant' do it. Can't do Maxwell or Ben Harper. And they are the same person to me. Uhp, that sounded racist. Nevermind, I'm just coming across as an ass.

I would like to leave you the video of Home by Edward Sharpe and Magnetic Zeroes, also featured on my playlist cause it's just a feel good song. It's important to feel good.
