*RSS readers...please come to my blog to view this weeks iMix and expand your musical palette*

This week's mix thrives on a collision between alternative music and electronic elements such as keys, synth and voice manipulation. Born out of a need to bring you the Black Kids, AlternaTronic flows quite nicely. Notable favorites of mine include The Bird and the Bees, MGMT, Vampire Weekend and The Ting Tings...OK, they're all good or else they wouldn't be on the mix ;-)




It pays to give your two cents. Bob Pattison is the 700th commenter and has a $10 iTunes or Amazon gift card coming their way so he can use what music knowledge he's garnered through these iMixes here and purchase some good DRM-free music. He's a wedding/portrait photographer, check him out...also, good to meet you in Vegas Bob!

What music have you guys been discovering lately?

Sera Cahoone, Shearwater, and Imogen Heap are in my rotations as current favs. It's SOOOO hard for me to have just ONE favorite of anything. Just like you are in my top favs of photogs, Fred. :) P.S. Are you headed to Austin next month for ACL?
