mixtape | up! 7 songs to get you up & out

7 songs guaranteed to make you get out of your seat and jiggle a little - if you're me anyway. seriously, if i was djing in the pub at atp in camber sands i'd be playing all of these songs. the room might be empty but i'd be having a brilliant time.

::: fool's gold - nadine
::: guillemots - trains to brazil
::: miracle fortress - whirrs
::: mazarin - chasing the girl
::: vampire weekend - horchata
::: akron/family - everyone is guilty
::: clinic - the return of evil bill

clinic | clinic

i've just opened the windows for the first time in 4 months, which means it's finally getting cooler - and the whole of georgia breathes a sigh of relief. bring on the winter.

maybe it's the prospect of bundling up in warm clothes again, but i've been feeling a bit homesick the last couple of days (i moved to atlanta from london at the beginning of this year) and have found myself making playlists of baggy and britpop stuff in my itunes. i'm not going to post any of that stuff since there are umpteen blogs that post it all in far more detail than i could muster.

instead, here's clinic, a band that takes various american influences and twists them into something uniquely british sounding.

released by domno in 1999.
