A mix! What is it? Well it's a collection of songs you can groove to, but that's not important. Today marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the movie Airplane!, and because that movie gives me a fair share of the funnies (and it's been a while since one of my randomly themed mixes), I thought I'd throw this together. Strap on your seatbelt, make sure your tray table is in its upright position and take off with this mix - oh, and avoid the fish.

Surely, It's An Airplane! Mix (artist name leads to site):
Albert Hammond, Jr. - In Transit
Angus & Julia Stone - Paper Aeroplane
The Courteeners - Cross My Heart & Hope to Fly
Fanfarlo - I'm A Pilot
The Grates - Sukkafish
Mouthful of Bees - Airplane
My Teenage Stride - To Live And Die in the Airport Lounge
Spoon - It's Gonna Take An Airplane [Destroyer Cover]
The Wave Pictures - The Airplanes of Brescia
We Are Scientists - Over and Out


Otherwheres - I'll be busy and/or workin' the whole time, but I hope you all get to enjoy this Independence Day weekend!

These days, the man behind PlayRadioPlay is better known through his new guise, Analog Rebellion. The fact that this band goes by a different name these days ought to reveal how long I've left this one on my backburner. It's been back there so long, it turned into something new. Analog Rebellion, however, represents a different sound from Daniel Hunter's earlier musical days as PlayRadioPlay. The one I really want to put up on the table is PlayRadioPlay, so give me this moment to unburn toast and talk about an earlier incarnation. Hunter started PlayRadioPlay in his high school days, and may in fact now encapsulate Hunter's youth - it's young and naive compared to Hunter's current project, Analog Rebellion. PlayRadioPlay has a wistful youth that reminds you of the innocence once held for love and life. It's sweet and lighthearted music that makes for an easy listen.
