Love - sometimes elusive, sometimes painful. At some point in our life, we may experience love and with that feeling might come heartbreak.

After the success of our Holiday Sweaters & Egg Nog compilation, Cactus-Mouth and I decided to team up again for two of music’s great subject matters: love & heartbreak. We asked artists to give us their interpretation of either a love or heartbreak song - exclusively for us. While some may tug at your heart strings, they are never too saccharine or sappy, nor are they too dismal or bleak. This is a MONSTER mix - 20 different artists - 71 minutes of heart-stopping goodness.

We were super lucky to get such wonderful contributions from these artists. This time around we had some amazing covers - from the stupendously catchy “Not Feeling The Love (Trapped In The Black Lodge)” R. Kelly cover by Kuhrye-oo, the Wintercoats’ sublime “Someone To Share My Life With” Jens Lekman cover, Naminé’s echo-y, heartbreaking New Order “Bizarre Love Triangle” cover, and the swirling, swoon worthy “The Way You Look Tonight” Frank Sinatra cover by Saskatchewan. They do the originals justice and even surpass them, if I say so myself.

I feel so grateful to have newer artists on board like: Moths (he released a video for our track yesterday), Under Alien Skies, clownfacee, Youth Castles, and Pressed And, as well as some of my dream comp artists like Jeans Wilder, Local Winds & Top Girls, Fielded, and Welcome Back Sailors. We also pulled in the likes of such talented folks as Medic Hands, Sutja Gutiérrez, Kiss Kiss Fantastic, and Ra Calium. A big special shout out to my eternal homeboy, the ever wonderful, ever helpful: Guerre. No exclusive comp of mine (collaboration or not) will ever be complete without some input from him!

Before I close, I must add that one of the most giggle inducing (in a completely good way) tracks on the comp is Butterclock’s “breakUPparadize”. Drawing from “Gangster Paradise”, it will leave you both slightly heartbroken yet smiling. ALSO, a radically different, super lo-fi mono track from Ricky Eat Acid entitled “Seventeen”.

I want to thank each and every artist on the mix, my good buddy Cactus Mouth, and, most of all, you for listening. FEEL THE LOVE! ♥

Co-Premiere With Nofop: Local Winds “Small Towns” From In The World Of Ours(2010)

I tend to be anti premiere / co-premiere.

This is because I think it cheapens the blog to be swayed in what you post based on the exposure it gives you, as opposed to how good it is.

So, that being said, I agreed to do it here because:

A: The songs good

B: It allowed me to open with a rant about premiere’s and co-premiere’s.

But, you won’t see a lot of them here and you’ll never get one I agree to post without hearing it first.

That precursor out of the way, Scott Dickson of Local Winds and Closed Cassette was a pleasure to work with on Collaborations and delivered one of my favorite jams off that tape in “For Now”, his collaboration with Top Girls. With his new project, Local Winds, he’s taping further into the spacious electro soundscapes he works so well with.

I’ve always liked Scott’s seeming tendencies towards organic inspiration in his pieces. And in “Small Towns”, the first track released off his upcoming In The World Of Ours, this is absolutely present. The slow grow of urban sprawl displacing plant life and animals in it’s parasitic advance, only to house middle class mundania at it’s finest.

Or maybe that’s just my interpretation. But one of the best things about Scott’s tracks is there’s enough space for anyone to breathe whatever world they’d like into it.

We are all starting to feel a little more jolly as the season approaches so, in light of that, and as a reprieve from list-making, we asked two of our staff to curate a Christmas-themed cassette for the season.

~*Cactus Mouth/Unholy Rhythms Christmas Mix 2010*~

Over the past 6 months, I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of the nicest artists and bloggers out there. During this time, I came to know (albeit virtually) Cactus Mouth - one of the hippest dudes out there. As the months progressed, there were many occasions that he and I would blog not only the same artist, but the same song; we sometimes described the song with the same exact words. SCARY!

So, of course, when I found out that he was interested in doing a mix just for Christmas, I wasn’t surprised at all since I had the *same* idea. Originally, the mix was going to be a three-way collaboration with Yvynyl, Cactus Mouth, and myself. However, Mark had to bow out…. slightly*. He managed to round-up a track for us and provide an astounding amount of support. The end result is an exclusive 14-track wintertime mix.

Some of the tracks are a straight up ode to Christmas tunes. We have both Mutual Benefit and Megafortress covering “Silent Night”, but in two totally unique ways. The other tunes are, at times, a bit more subtle in their celebration of the season but they’re all fantastic. From the joyously infectious upbeat “Emelia” by Unouomedude, to the gorgeously ambient “Missa Do Gallo” by Dream Band and Ricky Eat Acid.

I am also super excited that we got the up-and-coming SNOWMINE to contribute a track, as well as Martha! Mother. My ultimate homeboy Guerre contributed a tune that, while not super Christmasy, it is oh so perfect for watching the snow fall on a day you’re isolated. For those looking for a little more “chill”, there are the tunes by the fabulous Ra Cailum, DanielRadall, Craig Cruiser, and Closed Cassette.

The only song that people might have heard in advance is BAnanas* Symphony’s, ”Holidaze”. The song was meant for the mix but somehow escaped early enough to give listeners a taste of what was to come. It is still a fantastic song hence the inclusion of it on the mix.

I want to thank each and every artist involved and most of all, I want to thank Cactus Mouth for a wonderful collaboration. Merry Christmas, one and all.

Closed Cassette’s newest creation Alright is a fresh breath of air. As Australia warms up this track feels perfect for driving extended distances with the windows rolled down.

Putting a strong emphasis on his perfectly layered vocals, his sound becomes as saturated in colour as the image posted above. Lush synth chords and twinkling arpeggios also create a welcomed underwater vibe to this track.
