Kristen’s SXSW ’10 Mix- Bonus Tracks!
22. “Are You Fucking Kidding Me (The Facebook Song)” – Kate Miller-Heidke
I first saw Kate Miller-Heidke at The Hotel Cafe. I had no idea really what to make of this classically trained songstress who sang about how cruel she was in high school or this lovely ditty about a former lover resurfacing on facebook. Definitely unforgettable. Then I saw Kate at Coachella and cemented my love. The video below wasn’t taken by me, but it was the first time I saw this song performed live…
23. “Monsters, Demons, Accidents” – The Other Side of Morning
I thought my SXSW ’10 mix was complete until I saw The Other Side of Morning play a set at Harvelle’s in Santa Monica. I felt compelled to tack on another track…
And thus ends my SXSW ’10 mix. I hope you, like me, were able to discover some amazing new artists. Enjoy the music!

Kristen’s SXSW ’10 Mix- Part 5
18. “New Improved Formula” – Spring Tigers
You may think that this is yet another British band on the list but actually these guys are from Athens, Georgia. Doesn’t mean I still don’t love this song…
19. “Butch” – Saint Motel
Last year, I discovered LA bands Nico Vega and Crash Kings and they are now staples in my life and my music calendar. I wonder if this will be the year for another LA band, Saint Motel?
20. “Jane Doe”- Never Shout Never
I saw Christopher Drew Ingel (AKA Never Shout Never) at Bamboozled and he definitely stuck out, but I’m not sure if it was in the best way. Then I came across his CD What Is Love? on sale and decided to give it a go. For some reason, I’m now loving it!
21. “Oh Lord” – Foxy Shazam
Oh to see this performed live…I can only imagine. The perfect way to end any mix.
the end…or is it…?

Carney Day!
Today is the day folks! Mr. Green Vol. I is officially out in stores, on ITunes, etc. Carney’s first full length CD has been on the precipice of release for sometime now it seems, but I’m pretty sure it’s actually happening this time. I would highly recommend everyone go out and get yourself a copy. Once again, for a taste, enjoy the video for the band’s first single, “Love Me, Chase Me” :
The release falls in the midst of a little tour…to get your taste of Carney live (trust me, you’ll love it), see if they’re coming to a town near you. And if you live in LA, I really hope you can come to The El Rey this Saturday to see the boys put on their last hometown show before heading of to NYC.
