Kitsune Noir Mixcast / No.023

It’s Friday, it’s almost the weekend, and here’s a delicious Mixcast to wash your cares away. This week’s Mixcast is based around the theme of women’s names. I think most rock stars end up going through break ups or fall desperately in love so women’s names tend to be quite prevalent in music. Not that there are only male singers on this album.

For the album artwork I hunted through my old National Geographic’s and found as many odd images as I could, putting together a diverse collage of woman-ness. The back is my favorite though and I didn’t have to do anything to it, that’s exactly how it was.

Here’s this week’s tracklist:
Jolene by Cake
Griselda by Yo La Tengo
Vanessa From Queens by Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks
Ashley by The Dodos
Tila and I by Harlem
Dear Jennifer by The Clientele
Selfish Jean by Travis
Oh Christine by The Cave Singers
Pretty Mary K by Elliott Smith
Carey by Joni Mitchell
Savannah Smiles by Okkervil River
Anna by Taken by Trees
Shirin by Jens Lekman
Ada by The National
Goodnight Laura by Spoon

  6. Hey! I’ve also been collecting tracks with names as titles (in general, not just women’s) for a mixtape. There’s quite a lot to pick from, huh?

  10. @Victor & Marion – I had it in my list but I didn’t think it fit. Plus I put Atlas Sound on everything I do (or so I feel) so I wanted to mix it up a little : )

  12. Great artwork… of course, “Carey” refers to a guy :-) but it’s still a great song.

  19. I like the mix. I was also looking for the picture with the woman and the gun. Where did you find it?

  20. Ooh! I’ve just finished a uni project to make a themed CD and packaging, I wish I’d seen this beforehand! I went for chemical elements in the end…

  21. Thanks again Bobby for another wonderful compilation.
    You have honestly changed the way I listen to music nowadays!

    In my version of iTunes 9.0.2 something goes wrong with your artwork however. The artwork of Mixcast no.15 is shown instead of No.23…
    Had this with earlier mixes too.

    Are you familiar with this?

  22. I forget to say this is happening with every mixcast, not with the mixtapes, funny eh?

    Comment by Niek — January 30, 2010 #
