Our fourth episode will, not only, have some great new tracks up (from Beach House, Brilliant Colors, and Total Slacker) but we are also having a contest. Just use these easy to follow steps and we will send you a unique cassette tape of today’s show sans commentary, of course. We are also including a “one-of-a-kind” hand designed sleeve for the cassette. Cool, right? Well, whether you think so or not just email us at weeklytapedecktix@gmail.com with the artist name and title of the very last song in our rotation. First person to do so is the winner! Honestly, it’s not incredibly hard to name but contests are fun and so are mix-tapes so use yr ears. Tune in to Indie-Verse, listen, and get a cool cassette. ALSO! Don’t forget to catch Neko Case tonight at the Granada Theater. Tracklist after the jump.

I’ve been mulling through this idea for the past couple of weeks, and finally decided to yank the plug on the weekly mixtape installment. Not saying I’m done making mixes all together, but I feel like they should be more of a novel concept. Maybe something seasonal? Not sure, don’t really want to obligate myself to anything. But, when then mixtapes do roll-out I’ll make sure you guys know about it.

Dem Hunger – Charles Shit
Drake ft. Nipsey Hustle – Killer
O’Spada – Time (DA SUCKSHAFT Remix)
The Silent League – Here’s a Star (Neon Indian Remix)

gutsies//oh mary lou

Yes it is true that indie music is becoming saturating with fuzzy, lo-fi, jangly, 50’s inspired pop bands more and more every day, which makes it more special when a rather talented ensemble pops up. Gutsies are very much in the vein of bands like Fergus & Geronimo; using doo-wop-laden jingles that are not just fuzzy but downright woolly. It is difficult to find a lot of information on this band but it is clear they are unsigned and currently station in non-other than Brooklyn, NYC. Other than that there is not much to go one with this band next to he music; which is all you really need right?

Gutsies – Oh Mary Lou
