Best of the Rest 2007 Adam 1. Restorative Beer - Fiery Furnaces
Kinda surprised just how far into Beatles-based pop this veered. I usually think of Fiery Furnaces as leaning more towards the dancier end of things than this, not that that's a bad thing at all. I dug it.

Bowling for Blood Adam I've loved so many of the ChipperDemon CDs from the class of '08, but the first half of this mix boasts the single best run of any of 'em. Even with my favorite ChipperDemon outings like "Duets of Dodging Acorns" and "I Wouldn't Buy You A Sweater If It...

I Didn't Make a Youtube Video of it But... Josie-Bob: Balls and Boobs Adam 1. Time to Pretend - MGMT
I've stumbled upon this song twice while reviewing Blu-ray discs; it opened '21' and was featured pretty prominently in 'Sex Drive'. Why do I find that worth mentioning here? No idea. "Time to Pretend" as a whole is pretty...

We Sure Are Hot For Two Cold People; There's a Fire in My Snow Pants Adam 1. Anyone Else But You - The Moldy Peaches
My name is Adam, and I'm your biggest fan. I'm sure there are plenty of frowning hipsters who'd grouse about "Anyone Else But You" being overexposed after being featured so prominently in "Juno" (itself the...

Alcohol August 2007 Adam 1. Crown Victoria - Robbers on High Street
Yet another ChipperDemon mix hits the ground running with a strong start, and as repetitive as I'm sure I'm starting to sound with some of these comments, I'm really digging the vintage organ sound here.

Do You Want Your Shirt Back? Adam I had a pretty tough time limiting myself to just three favorites this time around.
1. Knots - Pete & the Pirates
After falling head over heels for Pete & the Pirates' "Mr. Understanding" off the not-quite-January tracklist a while back, I trotted...

I Created September Adam 1. The Humans Are Dead - The Flight of the Conchords
Shameful, eyes-uncomfortably-shifted-right-hangdog-expression admission: I've never actually watched an episode of 'The Flight of the Conchords'. I know...! Clever lyrics, I'm digging the acoustic...

Welcome Home Josie Adam Ha. When I hopped in my car and headed back home, "Hang Me Up to Dry" started playing on Sirius' "Alt Nation", so that's the third time I wound up hearing that song today.
Kind of along those same lines, I heard a Starfucker song on XMU a week or two...

Welcome Home Josie Adam Oh, I didn't know this was the first ChipperDemon mix ever when I grabbed it out of the stack this morning. I feel as if I'm witnessing the dawn of the universe or something. Okay, not really, but...
1. Chelsea Dagger - The Fratellis
Just from all...

A Whole New Appreciation for Bangs Adam Infectiously bouncy and upbeat, "A Whole New Appreciation for Bangs" is definitely one of my favorite mixes so far.
1. Lolita - Throw Me the Statue
If you had a gaggle of Welsh kids half-screaming this, it'd almost pass for a Los Campesinos! song,...

August Tastes Great on an Everything Bagel with Egg, Cheese, Tomato, and Avocado Adam This mix has fewer really giddy tracks than the next few months that'd follow, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Even moreso than usual, the emphasis this time around certainly seems to be more intensely placed on danceable synthesizers and...

You're Too Hot and I'm Too Hungry to Wait Adam 1. Cryin' for the Queen - Little Jackie
That's a pretty slick '70s groove this song is anchored around.
2. Hurricane Jane - The Black Kids
The chorus sounds like indie dance-pop from the here and now, but if I'd only heard a verse out of...

A Year's Worth of Treasured Trash Adam 1. Sick of Goodbyes - Sparklehorse
The half-belched wah opening grabbed me right off the bat, and that buzzing guitar jangle and the straightahead rock stomp of the rhythm section make for yet another strong start to a ChipperDemon set.
2. I Love...

Duets of Dodging Acorns Adam This is another one of my favorite compilations from the handful I've listened to so far.
1. You, Me & the Bourgeoisie - The Submarines
The lilting vocals and the retro melody buzzing out of that fuzzy, faintly psychedelic guitar immediately drew me...

The Lords Are Coming! Adam By a pretty hefty margin, this collection has more songs I'm already familiar with than any other in the archives, and that's kind of intriguing to see.
1. While the Flies - The Joy Formidable
An opening track like this -- with a shrill electric...

Super Teens and Marshmallow Dreams Adam I'm obviously just grabbing ChipperDemon CDs at random here. Impressions after the mandated two listens:
1. Act, Wait, Activate - Holana
I strolled in expecting something more acoustic and subdued after reading that comparison to The Moldy Peaches. ...

I Will Never Love You More Than Singing In The Shower, So If You Don't Want To Party Your Ass Got To Go. Adam Now that I have the mostly complete ChipperDemon archives at my fingertips, I'm following instructions by giving each set a couple of spins and commenting on them accordingly.
1. Napoleon Says - Phoenix
The danceable rhythm and lo-fi ringing guitar...

I Wouldn't Buy You A Sweater If It Came With A Gas Card Adam If you're ever struck with the burning desire to toss on a second song by the band, Silversun Pickups' sophomore album comes out on April 14th. "Lazy Eye" was almost inescapable for a short while there. My friend Scott was enthralled by the video when it...
