Finally. 

Sightlines has released their Summer EP. And the best part is that it’s free (actually, the best part is that it kicks a ton of ass).  

It’s never too early to start your summer.

Mixtape #21: This Has Nothing To Do With Anything (Pumpernickel)

We spent a fantastic day at the Main Street Record Fair and then popped over to Red Cat to fetch our Music Waste passes. AND SCHEDULES. Which, to be honest, we were more excited for than the passes.

The show consisted of us playing some of the new singles that we purchased that day and gushing about some of the bands that are playing at Music Waste

Amazingly, Liz held it together this time around. 

1. “Dying Breed” - Slam Dunk

2. “PCS” - Crystal Swells

3. “Nu Sundae” - The Courtneys

4. “Sunday Best” - Hermetic

5. “The Penitent Years” - Role Mach

Mixtape #20: Super Special Rainy May Long Weekend Spectacular

Everything started off nicely! There was sun! Heat! Promises of no school or work!

Naturally, it started to rain. But that didn’t get us down; we got ice cream to spite the rain. 

But needless to say, we suffered some remorse. Liz especially. She lost her mind a bit, but provided us with a much needed laugh track to boost our spirits (as I’m sure it did yours). 

Jesse, on the other hand, went to a bunch of shows on the weekend and scored himself some new vinyl, which he was eager to play.

1. “These Kids” - The High Drops

2. “Nervous Breakdown” - Shimmering Stars

3. “I Will live Together” - Hemogoblin

4. “Non-Families of Grandview Park” - So You Think You Can Sleep

5. “Nanook Two” - Greenbelt Collective

6. “Pepsiz” - Nail Salon

7. “2 Step” - Bear Mountain

8. “Nothing Will Grow” - Little Jungles

9. “Tripcatcher” - Shi Yi

10. “Boomerang” - Half-Chinese 

11. “Plate Glass Effect” - Balacade

12. “Super Moon” - Mansion Music

13. “HRSDRVS009” - Teen Daze

Mixtape #19: Nothing As It Seems

With all of the new music that is due in the next couple of months, we decided that it was only best that we played as much new music as possible. 

At the same time, the weather was unreasonably summer-ish. So, naturally, we had to load the list with as much pop punk as possible. 

Also, we couldn’t help ourselves, but we dusted off some old 7” records, including early versions of some Mixtape favourites. 

1. “Whitmore” - Half Chinese

2. “Drop It” - NEEDLES//PINS

3. “PYT” - Philoceraptor 

4. “Little Bit” - Bad Channels

5. “Gospel Problems” - EEEK!

6. “I WIsh There Was Something We Could Call You People” - NEEDS

7. “Only Fun” - Slam Dunk

8. “When I See You Again” - Shimmering Stars

9. “Sunlight Is Collecting On My Face” - Dixie’s Death Pool

10. “Better Things To Do” - My Friend Wallis 

11. “First World Pooblems” - Koko

12. “Math Whiz Ego Kid” - Pedagogues 

13. “Music Snob” - Thee AHs 

14. “Landmark” - Apollo Ghosts 

I can’t seem to find… oh HERE it is

“Never Forever” (Live) - Dead Soft

Mixtape #18: Less Talk, More Rock

We decided to let things roll on this one. 

We had a ton of new music that we were super eager to push on our listeners, so we just kind of shut up and let the music rip.

When we did talk, however, we briefly discussed Vancouver artists in the festival scene outside of Vancouver, as well as the Music Waste 2012 lineup (as per their Flickr account).

This was our longest playlist to date, so enjoy!

1. “I’m In Love WIth the USA” - Apollo Ghosts

2. “Cobra” - Yung Mums

3. “Royal Bummer” - Vision Loser

4. “Prequel” - Gang Signs

5. “Stranger Thoughts” - Village

6. “No Love Lost” - Watermelon

7. “Mononoke” - Loose Tights

8. “Japanland” - Real Boys

9. “Dryer Fire” - B-Lines

10. “Love Goblin” - Kingdom Cloud

11. “Apathy” - Big Nothing

12. “Surrounded” - Tough Lovers

13. “Rain Check” - Bleach Babes
