If you’ve 60 mins to spare and a hankering for some amazing music, here’s a free hour-long mixtape made up of real rare gems. Examples: the opening track is Planningtorock’s original intro, taken from her 12” EP, but subsequently rewritten for her album; the Enon track was the closing song on High Society, tucked away at the end of a very long but brilliant album that never got the adulation it deserved; the Lispector song was one of the first I ever downloaded from the internet, from MP3.com perhaps, and it’s a real find. The Final Fantasy song “The Butcher” is from a little known EP, but it’s a fantastic example of Owen Pallett’s songwriting; the Dirty Three song from the brilliant “Whatever You Love, You Are”, which is often overlooked as their best album in favour of “Ocean Songs”.
