I know you’re upset. I’m one day late. But after spending days and nights arguing the definition of a mix with the Stranger, I came to the conclusion that, alas, Meow Mix was not a mix. This is partially my fault – I never really intended it to be a mix, but rather a collection of some songs I’ve been listening to in the past week. And if I’m lucky maybe there a couple of bands in there that you’ve never heard of before. After all, that’s the only reason to come back, right? From this day forward, I declare Meow Mix to be Meow Picks.

This week’s episode includes The Bar-Kays “Soul Finger,” a track off the funktastic Superbad soundtrack, and Lykke Li’s “Dance Dance Dance” (because people need to be reminded how good her music is after this). The Ruby Suns “Kenya Dig It?” caught my attention because of the fact that it sounds like it belongs in an Animal Collective or Panda Bear album. And finally, I need to give a special thanks to ipickmynose who posted Iver’s “Skinny Love” a few weeks ago and reminded me of how much I love that song. Ennnnnnjoy.
