Fly High, Duluth! Mix Tape 2011.6 :: DREW DANBURRY'S RECORD CLUB (PART 1)


A few months ago beloved indie rocker Drew Danburry shared lists of his favorite songs, categorized in a number of pretty-broad "genres" (stuff that feels like dance music, stuff that feels like oldies, etc.). Anyway, I took him up on his offer, listening to what makes his world go 'round. Instead of just reprinting those lists here, I decided to "pay it forward," if you will, and select my favorites from Danburry's favorites. I started with the "dance" collection -- though, as you'll soon find out, this batch of songs is sometimes only slightly related to the dance genre. Anyway, without further ado: Submitted for the approval of the Mix Tape Appreciation Society, here lies ... the first installment of "Drew Danburry's Record Club." Enjoy at maximum volume.


1. Andrew W.K. - "I Get Wet"

2. The Faint - "Worked Up So Sexual"

8. Blur - "Girls and Boys"

9. Bloc Party - "Helicopter"

10. Ladyhawke - "Magic"
