About Today’s Mix:

Today’s scene starts with Brian snickering at me as I look back at him and ask what is so funny?

“You just called it Sensory Alien AGAIN.”

“What is it?”

“Sensory Overload.”

*sigh*

José and Kelly from Sensory Overload are two of my favorite folks on the internet, fellow Clevelanders, and always a great pair to hang out with. After a ginormous Cleveland blogger meetup last fall, a group of us continued to meet occasionally for food, music, and conversation. This series of get-togethers helped to melt the ice a bit on an otherwise typically chilly Cleveland winter, and also helped to bring me that much further out of my semi-reclusive hole.

Kelly got in touch with me to let me know that she had a mix for this series, and I was happy to get my hands on it when it showed up at the P.O. Box. What a great listen – I loved it, and I’m sure you will too.

Here’s a quick intro from Kelly to set it up, and we’ll be off and on our way!

This mix is simply a cohesive collection of some of my most favorite songs from the last 6+ years. The recurring theme of the mix is the ups and downs of love set to glitchy, blurry, and sometimes haunting melodies. Enjoy*

  1. Sensory Alien kinda has a nice ring to it 😉

    I forgot to add that “The One I Love” performed by Sufjan Stevens at SXSW is an REM cover — although, I’m assuming all of your readers are completely aware of this.

  2. I actually did put that little important note in the MP3 tag. But for the track listing here, I just used the handy cut and paste function.

    Busted!

    Thanks again. This is fab.

  3. Finally had a chance to listen to the mix today… you've had some great submissions, and this one is no exception. I love Rilo Kiley… and I've always loved Tori's cover of Love Song. As with the previous mixes, there are some I know and some that are new to me, which I always love. Thanks much!

  4. I hadn't heard the cover of Love Song. Pretty awesome! Glad you dug it! We've got some great mixes on the way!
