LoLomix 2: Trumpet Triumphs

The DJ returns with a barnstorming megamix of songs which use her favourite instrument, the trumpet. Trumpets are fuckin' deadly altogether, and crop up in many's an indie choon as the less serious cousin of the dreaded string section. Its hard to listen to a big parpy trumpet bit in a song without smiling. So for your listening pleasure...

Now thats some savage trumpeting with some savage art design that shows a nice continuity from megamix 1. Fair fucks Loreana. As usual let me know what yis think. Oh, and also I can only host this on Zhare for the time being as I've exceeded my fileden bandwidth. I will put it on fileden soon.

I wanted to blog in detail about how good Jens Lekman was in Whelans last night but time is against me. So here are a few descriptive words-Magic, Christmassy, moving, awesome, goosebumpy. Oh and there was a bit where he loop recorded the audience softly singing the chorus to Black Cab and then played it back over the speakers to us with a look on his face that said "Holy shit. This is one of the most amazing gigs I've ever played." At times he seemed genuinely taken aback by what was happening. And there was a genius chorus-removed cover version of 'Call me Al.' It was really one of those "i love it when a plan comes together" nights. There was a support dude too, a guitar-touting troublador type who was pulling all these fey lines and pretending to be bashful, but he didn't fool me. I'm guessing he's a cold sociopath in the vein of Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman and is currently butchering a Dublin groupie to the strains of 'The greatest love of all.' It was in his eyes.
