Favorite Downloads: March

Here's a mix of my favorite new-to-me mp3s I downloadead from various blogs in the last month. I must say I didn't do so well keeping up with the blogs this month. The Art Garfunkel track came from one of Aquarium Drunkard's L.A. Burnout mixes; the two 1960s Asian girl groups came from the ever-dependable Cargo Culte, and the rest came from miscellaneous corners of the web. For the record this mix is intended to be listened to in order.

Stray thoughts:

1. I've never sought out an Art Garfunkel record; perhaps I should? 
2. I hear people compare the new Belong record to shoegaze, but surely Flying Saucer Attack is the more appropriate reference point if "Never Came Close" is any indication?
3. Need to get that Rene Hell full length stat.
4. I hated Gang Gang Dance way back when they first came around, but I can't stop listening to "Glass Jar."

• Art Garfunkel: 99 Miles from L.A.
• Robin Pecknold (w/ Ed Droste): I'm Losing Myself
• Thành Mái: Tóc Mai Sợi Vắn Sợi Dài (Long, Uneven Hair)
• Belong: Never Came Close
• Rene Hell: E.S. Des Grauens In Fifths
• Gang Gang Dance: Glass Jar
• Dara Puspita: To Love Somebody

Where did you pick up the Pecknold track? It's awesome.

He gave them away for free a couple of weeks ago. Here's a link to a blog that was offering them: http://stereogum.com/653402/download-a-free-robin-pecknold-ep-feat-ed-droste/mp3s/
