Friday Feel: The Smell & Fwends

Since this is my 40th friday feel I chose all tracks from CMT’s Top 40! (sike)
This mix is composed of a few bands from LA’s venue/scene The Smell. Accompanying those rowdy kids from LA are everyone’s favorite all girl psychedelic drone wizards, Pocahaunted. This will make for a solid late night jam session, so pull out those headphones. The bonus track wraps things up with Bradford Cox’s infamous pop fuzz.

Julianna Barwick on the Porch

Julianna Barwick creates elegant vocal arrangements that your mother would probably enjoy. These are the songs you heard in your dreams as a child, coming back to haunt your cluttered life (I’m projecting) and clean things up a bit. She stopped by the Porch to talk about her Louisiana upbringing, going to Cali, and of course her angelic voice.
