A rather short mix this month, for whatever reason. The week-long blackout at the end of it, along with planning for my trip to Canada, might have had something to do with that. I haven’t even really had a chance to survey last month’s music until now. But here, at long last — I know you’ve been waiting — are the songs I was listening to in August:
- “To Love Somebody” by Nina Simone
- “Black Boys on Mopeds” by Sinéad O’Connor
- “We Belong” by Emily Curtis
- “Gimme Sympathy” by Metric
- “Sophia” by Laura Marling
- “Paper Forest (In the Afterglow of Rapture)” by Emmy the Great
- “Bein’ Green” by Andrew Bird
- “You’re Too Weird” by Fruit Bats
