Use Your Ears: Monthly Mix - May

I'm way behind on my monthly mixes.  Here's what I was listening to in May.

Artist Title Album Notes
1 David Gilliland & Jeffrey Lyman Sarabande et Cortege pour basson et piano The Wind Compositions of Henri Dutilleaux As noted previously, my new favorite bassoon piece
2 Fleetwood Mac Secondhand News Rumours Thanks to a lovely mix from a lovely lady, Ms. Laura
3 Jens Lekman You Can Call Me Al (live)
Found via Miss Moss's Simon/Garfunkel/Covered mix
4 Auditorium Sunday Be Brave Also found through Miss Moss.  This song has gorgeous layering, and is about a first winter snow. Probably my favorite song of the month.
5 TV On the Radio Killer Crane Nine Types of Light Ethereal.
6 Robyn Hang With Me Body Talk Keep it tight.
7 R.E.M. At My Most Beautiful Up A sweet song that Mariele included on the mix for my bachelorette.
8 Katy Perry E.T. Teenage Dream I have a very minor Katy Perry problem.  This is not the Kanye West version.
9 Ke$ha Your Love Is My Drug Animal I also have a minor Ke$ha problem.
10 Auditorium All Your Days Be Brave Folky and wistful.
11 Sia Clap Your Hands We Are Born From a fab mix of female artists I got in a Design Crush mix swap.
12 La Roux I'm Not Your Toy La Roux Incredibly catchy.  Also from the Design Crush mix.
13 Kate Nash Do Wah Do Bridesmaids Soundtrack The most simultaneously joyful and angry song I've heard lately.  Design Crush mix again.
14 Lykke Li Breaking It Up Youth Novels Great percussion.
15 Jackson Sisters I Believe In Miracles Jackson Sisters Don't you?  Not to be confused with La Toya & co, the Jackson Sisters were a 70s disco family group out of Compton. c/o DC.
16 The Chemical Brothers Asleep from Day Surrender Miss Moss mix.  Good for sleepy afternoons.
