IDHAS Ten Songs Mix 23



There wasn't going to be an IDHAS 10 Song Mix this week with the return of The IDHAS Audio Extravaganza. The Extravaganza normally takes longer to prepare due to Jim's Mixing and Mastering excellence, whereas the 10 Song Mix is intentionally more down and dirty and done solely by me. The Extravaganza is also based on time (around 75 minutes) as it was always intended to fit on a CD.

So rather than just throw out the mix with our usual brief "Here It Is! Listen!" I thought I'd explain why there's a bonus. Firstly, March is a review a day month, but there's been so much great stuff in over the past few days that I decided to change the line up and so needed time to properly listen to the new albums. There will still be at least 31 Reviews this month, probably more.

Secondly, Jim and I decided that it would be great to mix what was planned to be IDHAS Audio Extravaganza 108, so there was less work needed to compile 108, allowing time for this. Finally, the current 10 Song Mix continued the consecutive appearances in the Mixcloud Global Indie Rock Chart. Last week's Mix hit the chart in less than 12 hours, so I wanted to keep that interest going. 

So here are our favourite 10 songs of the week that will take up 34 minutes of your precious music listening time. This is an absolute cracker, maybe the best yet. Essentially, the melodic Pop Rock that you've come to expect, but with the usual diversions into Indie, Psych and AOR. 

The observant amongst you may notice that there are 11 tracks this week. That's simply because I felt you had to hear the 59 second Reprise of The Bye Bye Blackbirds' We Got Lost, but it wasn't fair if I added it at the expense of another song. Just wait until you hear Murder Hornets, it blew my socks off. The Mixcloud link is below and at the foot of the page is the Mixcloud Player which takes you directly to the music. Here is the playlist of the ten songs this week :

The Flashpot Moments - Itch

The Summer Holiday - Subway Dreams

Beachheads - Shine

Grampfather - Murder Hornets

The Bye Bye Blackbirds - We Got Lost

The Bye Bye Blackbirds - We Got Lost (Reprise)

The Sun Sawed In Half - Twist Of Lemon

The High Water Marks - Proclaimer Of Things

Mad Rollers - Good Time

Stephen's Shore - Carefree Tyme

Young Guv - She Don't Cry For Anyone
