Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream

I wanted to create a “party” mix that could be enjoyed by all breeds of partiers; whether you’re the guy wearing an “I got tanked in Cabo” t-shirt, who still loves those Third Eye Blind classics, or if you’re a hipster who’s already tired of the third full-length Arcade Fire album (send me a copy of that, by the way). So fire up the grill, tap the keg, or do whatever it is you do when you want to let loose and crank this mix of new, old, and classic tunes.

Track Listing:

1. Shout Out Out Out - “Self Loathing Rulz”
2. Girl Talk - “Bounce That”
3. Outkast - “B.O.B”
4. Sponge - “Go Speed Racer Go”
5. Of Montreal - “Suffer for Fashion”
6. Bon Jovi - “Livin’ on a Prayer”
7. Kool Keith - “Get off my Elevator”
8. Journey - “City of Angels”
9. The Darkness - “Friday Night”
10. Bloc Party - “Hunting for Witches”

Get it.

Sally Russel, aka Sally Seltmann, aka New Buffalo comes fresh from down under (that’s Australia for those who are wondering) and brings with her a unique sound in the vein of Regina Spektor and Leslie Feist. Her delicate voice just flutters over sparse but angelic rhythms (see “I’m the Drunk and You’re The Star”). “Versary” has a Three Dog Night like beat that has her voice lulling the listener into a den of sound (and the bells are a nice touch). And my favorite “Emotional Champs” is what Sufjan Stevens would sound like if he had two x chromosomes.
So go on and enjoy.
