I really like this week’s mixtape. A lot of foot-tapping jams. As always you can download/stream each track individually or grap them all in one place with the zip (below). I’ve also added a new help screen for those of you who’ve had some trouble downloading music from QC. Have a good week, homies.

I know it seems we like we have a slight Regina habit. That is admittedly true, but we’ve only posted a couple tracks if you check the archives so here’s a third. I love this jazzy jam off 11:11. Spektor plays McCarren Pool on August 15th. Only cool people allowed.
Bonus jam: another track off 11:11 because it’s hard to stop once you start listening.

Sheffield, England four-piece, Arctic Monkey’s are at work on their third record labeling it ‘psychedelic.’ Producer James Ford, who produced the band’s second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare (Warner Bros, April 2007) has signed on to work with the group again. Ford told the Daily Star: “It’s much more psychedelic than their first album. I wouldn’t rule out a bit of R’n'B either – the boys know their stuff.”
