Mix CD #53 - What's The Alternative To The Alternative?


Hello folks, remember me? It's been a good while since the last blog update sorry. For most people the Covid-19 lockdown is a chance for increased productivity with blogs and podcasts and other assorted amusements but, as I do the majority of my writing on company time, I'm finding it hard to make time for it with family stuff and, er, Skyrim. 
Due to my little lad being high risk I'm gonna be off work until everything is alright again so it'll be a while until (my already erratic and lackadaisical) normal service is resumed.

Anyway, this blog. There's no theme as is the norm these days, just some great music. There are artists from all over the world, including six from Australia alone. I seem to be listening to a whole load of Antipodean bands at the moment but it seems to be a particularly fertile source of new, exciting music so expect more on the next blog!

I dunno why it's taken me so long to think of it but I've also included a link to every artist's Facebook page. Just click on their name down where all my blurb is, ta...

Cheers,
Luke

You can download the mix HERE
You can listen to it on Spotify HERE.
Annoyingly, the only track not available on Spotify is the bloody title track by Local Resident Failure. As a substitute, I've gone for the opening track from their 2012 album A Breath Of Stale Air. It's appropriately titled The Opener.
