Hey, it’s time for a regular ol’ mix. Happy sounding songs. Guitars. New music. No big whoop. Something snappy. Something you can dance in your chair to, or ride your bike, or go for a walk since the weather’s getting nice out. Yeah, I’m talking to you!

#0091 – The Mossback Mix

[Kevin] A mix of insanely good northwest bands, spanning Washington and Oregon. Nothing heavy.

[Kevin] Winter’s a great time for a mix of northwest bands. These mostly span Washington and Oregon. Not all songs are what they seem, so before you write something off, give it a listen.

I started off just trying to round up enough Pacific Northwest bands to make a mix, but I ended up with way too many original, insanely good songs and got turned on to a bunch of new bands in the process.  Hope you do too.

We Sing in Time – The Lonely Forest
Good Friend, Yr Hunger – Castanets
911 – Man Plus
Bananas – Blue Scholars
I Say Fever – Ramona Falls
I’m a F*cking Genius – Supersuckers
Black River Killer – Blitzen Trapper
Two Minutes – The Blows
Beep Beep – Big World Breaks (featuring Godspeed, Jerm, Lia Brown & Toni Hill)
You Only Believe Me When I’m Lying – Zoe Muth and the Lost High Rollers
Little Slickers – The Globes
Better Than Lies – Beehive
Now We Can See – The Thermals
Wall of a Song – The Whore Moans
Ward – Visqueen
Clear as Day – North Twin
Otherside – Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
The Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid – The Decemberists
