Best New Atlanta Music: Atlas Sound – ‘Logos’ LP
From the very beginning of this blog, I’ve been evangelizing the music of Bradford Cox. The guy is a prolific, consistent, and an all around incredible artist. He’s from another planet. And so at this point, anyone who reads this blog is either on the bandwagon with me or not. If you’re smart, you’ll get a copy of Logos and find that it is awesome, just like everything from this dude. So I’ll spare you a long-winded lovefest. Instead, I decided I would put together a little mixtape of my favourite songs that have been given away on the Deerhunter blog over the years along with other Atlas Sound rarities and such. Whether you’ve been living in an alternate dimension and have not heard of this Mr. Cox, or you need something in between daily repeats of “Walkabout”, this is for you:

Ohmpark Mixtape #10: I Heart New York
My time in New York over the last few days was extremely fun, but also rather brutal. This Piano Plays Itself and I bounced around back and forth between Brooklyn and Manhattan, ferociously partying between shows. Mixed in the blur of all that, I also got to spend some quality time with some dear old friends from Atlanta, and even met a few cool new folks. I truly do love New York City. Today I’m recouping from the exhaustion of two hard weeks on the road, so here’s a short mix of songs from my favourite New York artists:
Here We Go Magic : Collector (Daytrotter Session)
Cymbals Eat Guitars : Some Trees
St. Vincent : Your Lips Are Red
Dirty Projectors : Useful Chamber
Sonic Youth : Anagrama
Battles : HI LO
Akron/Family : Phenomena
Grizzly Bear : Colorado
