After being absent for a few weeks, I'm back at it-- I figured if Jimmy Fallon could take a week off, I could take four. Anyhow, after heading up to Gold Rush Country and watching lots of NatGeo and Ken Burns documentaries, I've been wanting to get out of the city and head into the American Wilderness. This week features music that is ideal for playing on a long road trip as you look at the American landscape from a moving window. The original mix was about three times the length-- if you're interested in hearing more songs, please let me know and I'll share the rest of the songs that didn't make the cut.

Thanks for listening!

Song listing:

1. Laura Veirs - America
2. Emma Louise - Boy
3. Iron & Wine - Boy With A Coin
4. Air Review - America's Son
5. Paul McCartney - Heart Of The Country
6. Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Johnny Appleseed
7. Dawn Landes - Try to Make a Fire Burn Again
8. Mississippi John Hurt - Lonesome Valley

This is the week that Austin turns into a huge, crazy, nonstop mess of music and hipsters, SXSW is here and here are some SX bands that I'm particularly looking forward to checking out. It's hard to include everyone because there are so many bands/people/performers everywhere throughout the city, so I selected the top 10 + 1 special band that may or may not play. If you ever get the chance, get to Austin for SX. It's a lot of fun.

Song listing:

1. Marijuana Deathsquads - John Cage Match
2. The 4onthefloor - Junkie
3. Lucy Michelle & The Velvet Lapelles - Postcard
4. Solid Gold - Get Over It
5. The Hood Internet - Suit & Commercial
6. Big K.R.I.T. - R4 Theme Song
7. Air Review - America's Son
8. Emma Louise - Boy
9. Empress Of - Don't Tell Me
10. The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize??
11. Daft Punk - Aerodynamic

Indie rap/underground rap/a buncha rappers you prolly should've already heard of/whatever you wanna call it, it's good rap. I draw a lot of inspiration from independent artists, especially in the rap community. Their work ethic and desire to keep moving their music to the next level is something I look to for motivation for me and my photography. It's a great reminder to me that if I want it bad enough, I'll make it happen and give up at nothing to achieve my goals.

1. Intuition - Imagining
2. VerBS - Feelings Getting In The Way
3. Dumbfoundead - Are We There Yet
