OneRepublic: Kids (Not loving the new album, but this is solid).Circa Survive: Drain You (Nirvana Cover).Probably like 4 people will agree with me, but that’s ok.) Then at 1:56, it changed and suddenly I related to it about 1000 times more. Anthony Green: You’ll Be Fine (I loved this song, so I watched the video, which was meh.The Lumineers: Angela(This one definitely builds to something, but it’s worth the wait.).Judah & The Lion: Take It All Back(This one grew on me.).Yelawolf: Daylight(The hook on this, dayum).Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness: Fire Escape(Also very Anthem-y, but Andrew is a F-ing badass, so that’s cool.).Dirty Heads: Sound of Change(Very addictive, this one.).Sylvan Esso: Radio(This song is utterly ridiculous and yet strangely catchy.).Rag’n’Bone Man: Human (Got this from the trailer for 13th.).Lecrae & Leon Bridges: On My Own (Yessss).I might like this one better than the original b/c it’s so much sexier. Snow Patrol: Mysterious Ways cover (One of my very old favorites, particularly while I was writing AEITA, but it’s popping up again for Book 3.Garbage: Push It (Ok, this is a 20-year old song, and I blame Jay Kristoff for getting the 90s back into my head, but whatever, Shirley was Queen before everyone else and this has aged so well.Grouplove: Good Morning (Why is everything they do so great? Total Laia song.).Colter Wall: Sleeping on the Blacktop (Nobody says “moon” like Colter Wall).Very early-2010s anthem rock, but I like.) Kings of Leon: Waste a Moment (Caleb’s voice aaaaaaaa *dies*).Nas Feat Raye: War (I mean, it’s Nas, what else do you want.).But you all know about that album, judging from the number of people who have mentioned it to me, so hopefully you don’t mind. Sorry. I also left off Glass Animals, tho I do like their new one.
Looking at this now, I realize that it’s a bit dude-heavy. Mostly because fall is when all the BEST albums come out. AN AURAL ALTERNATIVE: BAA MIX 88Īh, yes, fall in California, a time of endless raking, ridiculous drinks, and an overuse of sweaters in weather that doesn’t really merit it.
X-Ambassadors: Torches (Very Ember Quartet).Zipper Club: Regrets (I LIVE FOR THE 3:15 MARK IN THIS SONG).G-Eazy & Kehlani: Good Life (Ok, I know this is so mainstream and also from Fate of the Furious but if you have a problem with that then, well, TWO MIDDLE FINGERS TO THE HAAAATERS.Bishop Briggs: Dark Side (HELENE ALL THE WAY).Ella Vos & R3hab: White Noise (R3hab Remix).The Orwells: They Put A Body in the Bayou (SUCH an Elias Book 3 song).Boo Seeka: Oh My These guys remind me of Alt-J (whose stuff I haven’t been into lately, but I loved their first EP).Missio: Bottom Of The Deep Blue Sea (Elias and Laia song).Julien Baker: Distant Solar Systems (Go find this on spotify or iTunes, it is worth it).Lea Porcelain: Cover of Streets of Philadelphia (An atmospheric cover, if not as moving as the original.).Kendrick Lamar: HUMBLE (JUST BUY THE WHOLE ALBUM).Pentatonix: Bohemian Rhapsody Ridiculous, but fun.Matt Maeson: Cringe (A Helene and Elias song).Spring is here, my allergies have taken over my face, my deadline is looming, WHAT BETTER TIME FOR A NEW BAA MIX? If you listen to anything, listen to Kendrick Lamar, OBVIOUSLY. Skating Polly – Little Girl Blue and The Battle Envy.
