Sorry 'bout being away from the screen for a long time, but with the weather this nice I'd say people have better things to be doing than browsing blogs. Like dropping melted tangle twisters on themselves and getting nuclear sunburn. After a long break, Lolomix returns with number 9 in the series, songs about sleep. This is a very appropriate Lolomix because anybody that knows her will know that she is a sleepy sort of creature and loves to be in bed. I'd say my favourite track on this particular mix is swingboat yawning by Rollerskate Skinny. In my opinion we had in them, a modern Irish Psychedelic band that were every bit the equal of your Mercury Revs and your Flaming Lips. Its a class mix. Enjoy.
Download Lolomix 9: SleepThe Microphones- Don't Wake Me Up

Now put it on your ipod and run out to get the last bit of sun and an icepop! That's an order.

Rollerskate Skinny AND Sonic Youth. Jesus my misty-eyed nostalgia button exploded a few weeks back before Sebadoh. Good stuff. Nice sprinkling of Willy Oldham too.
Had to miss the Holy Roman Army gig at the weekend. How'd it go? Their new Capt Moonlight tune is deadly.
Cool. I will totally be checking this out over the weekend. It looks excellent. I was enjoying the Microphones on my way home from work today.
thanks dudes. Holy Roman army were great Adam. I'm going to blog about them soon. Deffo one of the best Irish bands out there at the mo'. Yep Red the microphones are great, the Glow part 2. is one of my fave albumsd
Yeah, the HRA are class. One of the lads did an email interview with them on drop-d a while ago and i'm looking forward to an album of some sort at the end of the summer.Not too many Irish acts that sound like them around.
Great mix! I dropped a melted tangletwister on myself just yesterday!
Willy Oldham!!
I don't think I've laughed so much in my life when i read that!
All these other names sprang to mind like Old Hammy Willy, Bonnie Prince Willy, etc etc
Ah yeah there's loads of 'em.
Bill Smellahan, Joanna Poosom. Drag city is a goldmine for them, if you're a juvenile eejit like me.
Excellent!
Im surprised "Im only sleeping" by the Beatles isnt on it though - one of my favourite ever beatles songs
hey whats the deal???
I've been listening to this bloody mix for hours and im still not asleep..
sleepy mix me hole!
good tunes tho.
The mix is called "Sleep", but its missing Ham Sandwich, "Sleep"! The rest of its good tho.
What no Sleeper?? U shud b shamed
Its not a sleepy mix its songs deadling with the theme of sleep or going to bed, thats what i was going for!
Teneka- No Beatles as i hear you can get into trouble for using their songs!
Dessie- You never sleep!!
Aero- Get real!!
You saying you don't like 'Sleep' by Ham Sandwich??????????? :(
Ah, no GY!BE or Team Sleep, which were the first sleep-themes I thought of! Looks like a cracking mix tho, cool beans...
Godspeed was number 1 on my list for the sleep mix, but considering "Sleep" is about half an hour long, it was pointless to put it on the mix!!!
