HEALTH Megggamix (Mixed By Acid Girls)

You may know the Acid Girls from their two Health remixes a la HEALTH//DISCO. Well now they have taken the music of GT favs, Health and crafted an almost 28 minute crazyass megamix. I tend to like my music in 1:30 to 3:00 minute punk-sized chunks, but in this case I am willing to make an exception. (You may have noticed) I have a tendency to describe things as awesome. Well, this IS awesome.

Listen: "HEALTH Megggamix (Mixed By Acid Girls)" (box.net mp3) (props to Urb)

In other Health related news, they are recording a long player presently entitled GET COLOR. Also, HEALTH//DISCO comes to wax in with a new sequence and a new remix from MATH HEAD. Maybe we will get to hear that soon (hint hint).

White Snow By Ben Weaver

So, Ben Weaver has a new album entitled The Ax in the Oak coming out next month. In putting this recording together Ben worked with former Red Red Meat member Brian Deck (who had produced Iron And Wine, Modest Mouse, and Califone among others). In the studio were cellist
Julia Kent (Antony And The Johnsons), vocalist Erica Froman
(Anathallo), Will Duncan (drums), Blake Sloan (bass), and bassist Steve Reidell a/k/a STV SLV (The Hood Internet).

Downloadables:
"White Snow" (bloodshot mp3)
"Alligators And Owls" (bloodshot mp3)

Given Reidell's involvement will we see a Ben Weaver Vs. The Cool Kids Vs. James Pants Vs. Titus Andronicus mashup sometime soon?
