do you like excellent music?

if you like excellent music, today is your lucky day.

when my sister was in high school she dated the most ultimate super extra hipster guy who introduced me to the likes of radiohead, pinback, neutral milk hotel, and one of my forever favorite bands belle & sebastian.

since those days long gone (i'm pretty sure i was in eighth grade at the time?) i have become a devout indie music snob guru, and i really owe it to david.  

i crossed out snob because i'm pretty sure you can't be an indie music snob and like nicki minaj as much as i am ashamed to admit i do.  i've also noticed that working a full time job really cuts in to the time you can spend hunting down obscure music, so i've been digging on a lot of familiar oldies lately.

i have always loved making music mixes, so for any of the few readers of this blog who are interested, i would love to share a little of what i've been listening to most lately.   it is available to download here.
