Thao & Mirah - Little Cup (Live on KEXP)

Love them, and love KEXP.

Hey guys! This week’s mix is all from artists I was lucky enough to catch at SXSW a week and a half ago! If you’d like to grab some more mp3s, you can head over to Aurgasm and check out the SXSW recaps. There are a ton of great artists that I got to see, so it was hard to narrow it down. 

Also, the photo is from when Serena and I went over to the Congress Bridge to see the bats. (The only like, 3 photos from SXSW that I still have after my iPhone crapped out on me are the ones I uploaded to Instagram.) Sigh. However, Serena took a bunch of great ones, so you can check those out at Aurgasm and Flickr!

Thao Nguyen with Adam Thompson and Jim - “Gift Card”
——-
Quite possibly my new favorite holiday song. Not even kidding. HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE INTERNET, GUYZ.

I’ll give you a gift card, in the exact amount
Of the gift card you gifted me,
‘Cause it’s the thought that counts.

Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - “Beat (Health, Life and Fire)”
——-
Beat my brow, beat my chest
Beat the ones who love me the best
Oh how could they be liars
They insure me health, life and fire

Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - “Swimming Pools”

You’ve got to push all the doubt to the side of your mouth.
— Thao Nguyen, “Swimming Pools”
So, I saw this print in the bathroom of a gastropub down in Orange County this weekend. It made me laugh, so I took a picture. Don’t take this as a sign to feed your pets beer, it’s probably not a good idea. Hope you guys like the tunes — the first track is actually one of my favorite Mumford & Sons songs, it’s from their Love Your Ground EP and features Laura Marling on background vocals. I think I’ve posted it before. Also, major props to Jill for sending me “Static Waves” last week - such a great song! Let me know what you guys think of this week’s mix!
