Children Under Hoof - Skinny Wolves Mix


A mix I made for Skinny Wolves's ongoing mix series compiled by bands that are/ have played at their shows. I asked the four other members of Children Under Hoof to give me three songs each that reflected what they think influences their input into the Hoof's "sound". I spent Saturday mixing them together with some film and TV clips, slowed down vinyl rips and songs that get me all hot and bothered.

Documentary about the original John Maus, Chicago's own Jan Terri. If your not already infatuated by her sincere pop charms have a gander at these pop promos. Even Yo La Tengo covered one of her songs.

I normally don't post up funny videos but this is too good not to share. I've watched it four or five times and I still haven't managed to watch it without crying with laughter.

If you havent been paying attention to Holly McGowan aka Ilex's soundcloud, here are four great songs she culled together for the wonderful folks over at Second Square to None.
