French Kicks
Posted on Tuesday 11 July 2006
The French Kicks have put up a microsite for their soon to be released 3rd LP “Two Thousand”. Although I didn’t pencil these guys in for my ‘most anticipated’ list this year, after hearing the 3 song teaser they’ve posted, I am very eager to hear the entire record. Since their Young Lawyer ep released way back in 2000, the band has continued to improve and evolve. Their revised bio on the microsite states that they’ve lost original member Matt Stinchcomb and wrote the new album using new songwriting and instrumentation techniques. The result is still undeniably French Kicks, with their complex arrangements and strong sense of melody.

Yesterday Pitchfork debuted a new “mixtape” section on their website (here), presumably an attempt to continue to grow in an area that music blogs have become popular for. Now I’m joking with the post title; by no means are we original in having mixes on the site; but in honor of the growing culture of mixes (a central focus of this site), I wanted to start posting some throwback mixes. I’ll start with Mick’s hearsay 06, which has so far been one of my favorites.
01 Bill Monroe – Banjo and the Holler
02 Sufjan Stevens – For the Widows of Paradise
03 Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger – City of New Orleans
04 Lester Flatt – Martha White
05 Mojave 3 – Prayer for the Paranoid
06 Damien Jurado – Ohio
07 Willie Nelson – Always on My Mind
08 Glenn Campbell – Gentle on My Mind
09 Iron & Wine – Love Vigilantes
10 John Print & Iris DeMent – In Spite of Ourselves
11 The Magnetic Fields – The One You Really Love
12 Tansfiguration of Vincent – Dead Man
13 Ramblin’ Jack Elliott – Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right
