BTW: It's an AAC file this time around, as I was futzing around with some basic podcasting stuff in Garageband. If anyone has trouble getting it to work, let me know in the comments & I'll try to upload a mp3 version.

I have mixed feelings about this 2nd edition on BigTix, but I decided to post my attempt at it anyway. Feedback is appreciated, as-per-usual.

ETA: In case you didn't notice, I updated BigTix01 podcast-style. Enjoy.

MP3 BigTix01 [128 kbps / 72.8mb / running time: 79:24 min]

I've created an AAC version that's more iPod-friendly:

M4A BigTix01 [128 kbps / 74.9mb / running time: 79:26 min]

The Go! Team - "The Wrath of Mikey"
Tapes 'n Tapes - "Cowbell"
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Gold Lion"

Lo-Fi-Fnk - "Wake Up"

MC/VL - "Rock The Party Right"
José González - "Hand on Your Heart (split EP version)"
Destroyer - "Your Blood"
The Radio Dept. - "The Hide Away"

Yes, it's a blatant rip-off of the abfab Pop77 (who delivered a lovely belated valentine to the internets with the 44th edition of his P77 mix series last week). Nevertheless, here goes the first edition of my own (potential) mix series, BigTix. It's actually post-dated for last Friday, to coincide with my pal Rachel's 25th birthday, but I kept tweaking it over the weekend.

Happy belated, Rach.

I have to jaunt off to the ol' jobby-job, but I'll try to update this later.

BTW: Welcome back Marc Maron. Say it with me now...FIRE TRUCK!!
