My blog-buddy Brian aka whiteguyswithbeards released this mixtape. I suggest you download it. If you don’t follow him on Tumblr I suggest you do that too.

Here is a collection of new jams from a handful of bands I have been digging lately and writing about. The tracks are mostly new and, for the most part, very local.

I envision myself putting one of these together periodically from now on, so consider this the first installment. Track listing below, enjoy.

1. DOM - Jesus
Pure summery pop bliss from Worcester Locals. Be sure to check out “Rude as Jude” on their myspace as well.

2. Lil Daggers - Ya Tube Sabe
Another track from my friends from Miami. Track makes me want to run from the cops in the worst way.

3. Quiet Loudly - Over The Balcony
Nifty number from my bearded buddies from Brooklyn.

4. Tan Dollar - Tan Dollar
I could listen to this on repeat all. day. long.

5. GOBBLE GOBBLE - End Of Days
Another new track from pals GOBBLE GOBBLE, this one pumps up the techno.

6. Truman Peyote - Kartwheels
Rad jam from Truman Peyote’s upcoming split with Many Mansions on Whitehaus.

7. Many Mansions - Sparkly Portal
Lighter-than-air track off of said split. Put your headphones on and take flight.

8. Tropical Depression - Miniature Mountains
Found this track thanks to FMLY. Airy grooves from the west coast.

9. Philip Seymour Hoffman - Everything In My Cupboards Is Moldy
Like the actor, only way better. 80% more R.L. Stein also.

10. PPALMM - Acid Cops
Killer track from PPALMM off Breakfast of Champs’ Mozart Family All-Stars comp.

11. Girlfriends - I Was Here But I Disappear
New track from Girlfriends’ amazing self-titled debut cassette on Floating Garbage Continent. For the record I called it “gritty” way before the Herald ever did.

12. Golden Girls - Amateur Teen Sex Attics
More wonderful noise coming from wormtown. Makes me miss the Common Fashion Outlets.

13. The Great Valley - Lucky Me!
New track from friends The Great Valley off of their 7” Holiday, Holinight on Spooky Town.

14. Boy Without God - City Kids
Boston songwriter, beautiful track.

15. Quilt - False Eto
This track sounds like it’s emerging from a cloud of smoke in another world to me.

16. Psychedelic Family - Black Horse Knight Rider (Live)
Epic. Put on repeat for days.
