Great music for an international charity dedicated to raising money and awareness for HIV and AIDS.

Fall is my favorite season for music. The perfect mix of the joy of summer and the introspection of winter. Last fall some of my favorites were:
The 1900's // When I Say Go
Mariee Sioux // Wizard Flurry Home
Johnnossi // Man Must Dance
Division Day//Every Shining Time You Arrive
Sea Wolf // Leaves in the River ***GREAT ALBUM
Anyway, school just started and the feeling of fall just hit me... and uhh it's exciting.
What I have been listenging to.... HARD!

Department of Eagles // No One Does it Like You
Metronomy // A thing for me
David Vandervelde // Nothin No
Young Coyotes // Hell is
Grizzly Bear // Two Weeks
Apollo Sunshine // Breeze

Ok, here is another gem. I am covering both ends of the VWolf taste spectrum with SSION and Peak Fraeans, so if you dont like either of these than you are just... stupid.
Thoroughly take in the magnificence of the picture above and then listen to the masterpiece below.
SSION // Street Jizz (Ruff Ian Levine Remix)
Oh and check out the cinematic wonders at their MYSPACE.

I kept on looking into Freak Paeans and apparently he changed his pseudonym to Peak Fraeans. I also managed to dig up his Myspace page. He just put out another tape on top of the rerelease of his old tape on Caff & Flick. The new "tentrackmulticolouredsuperlimitedcassette" was released on the Swedish record label, Klorofyll Kassetter. It's a 100 cassette run at http://www.klorofyllkassetter.se/ for about $8.50 + shipping. Now I just have to get a cassette player...
Some of the mystery is gone but I still dig it... cassettes...how bad ass it that.
Check out the Myspace... it has a few tracks off the new cassette.
