Monday Mixtape: Count 'Em Up

Good Night, Sweet Prince

Today, instead of music, I give you news. Derek of Good Weather For Airstrikes, one of the best music blogs around, has called it off... in order to start a record label. The first single to be released on Neon Gold records is none other than "Sleepyhead" by Passion Pit.

I think I'm gonna buy a turntable just for this record.

Seriously, though, check out the archives of GWFAS. Tons of good stuff. This guy introduced me to the Dodos, Metronomy, and tons of other amazing alt/electro artists.

Bonus:
Since there hasn't been enough Regina lately: "Hotel Song" by Tom Williams
