Welcome to Monday Mixtape, Vol. 64! This week’s mixtape is mainly good ol’ fashioned rock and/or roll.

Dave, a buddy of mine, provided me a playlist entitled, “What (LayersandSounds) Missed/Best of 2016” which was a compilation of really great tracks that I did not include on my Top 100 Songs of 2016. Now I will say that my Top 100 originally had something like 220 songs on it before I whittled it down, so it did include a some of his tracks - like tracks from Charles Bradley, Domo Genesis, Father John Misty, M83, and Michael Kiwanuka - but there were a TON of new ones to listen to.

Needless to say, a number of these tracks on this week’s mixtape are from his list, so we should thank Dave for this one.

I also recently discovered Pinegrove because they were on a bunch of year end list for best album. They're one of those rock bands you feel like you could have been in - it's an accessible sound that I can wrap my head around.

I also hoping for a new Twin Peaks album. Their first album was super raw and messy, a blur of young kids just rippin’ through songs. Their second album had a little less charm, but these recent tracks have been great, so I’m hoping for something good to come from them.

That’s all I got, have a great week all.
