Scruffy The Cat-Tiny Days-1987

This is the second release from Scruffy the Cat, an underground Boston band from the 80's. This music is pretty dorky and I almost didn't post this album. What intrigues me about these guys is that there is limited information about them on the internet (no wikipedia page, no lyrics, just a handful of blog posts) and I'm always stoked on mysterious bands. Especially one that has remained relatively unknown for as long as these guys. Their jams are cool if you think about it in context with the dirty punky shit going on at this point in time.

There are some quality tracks on this bitch

Emancipator-Soon It Will Be Cold Enough-2006

To some, it must seem like this young electronic producer came out of nowhere this year, but those in the know have been following Emancipator since he self-released his first album, “Soon It Will Be Cold Enough,” at the age of 19 in 2006. His agile melodies layered over headnodic, immaculately-produced beats captivated fans across the internet and across the world. “Soon It Will Be Cold Enough” was picked up by Japanese super-producer Nujabes, pressed in Japan and sold 5,000 copies in the first six months.

This album has been blowing my mind. Hella chill and super sampley.

Secret Cities / Strange Hearts / 2011

i pray this is the beginning of the groovy uprising

This album is a mixture of the sweetest sounds from indie pop artists mixed in a lost groovy convent. Its has the stylings of early brit pop, peppered with spices similar to The Morning Benders, or Vampire Weekend but without the MSG if you know what I mean! Even a splash of female vocals that are tolerable! woohoo
soooooooo....

Various Artists / Perfection - Mixtape / 2011

I never really got to introduce myself on here so I'll make this quick- My name is Paul and on my free time, I like compiling mixtapes. I'm a fan of anything and everything that appeals to my ears. Whether it's pop or indie (and it's many subcategories), if it sounds good, it's going on my mixtape. "Perfection" is my most recent compilation and is filled with indie, pop, folk and lo-fi tunes. Check out the tracklist after the jump. 

If you're musically adventurous, give it a try.
