2024, Vol 2: All We Have Is Here and Now

It's early March, and there's already been enough great music to warrant the 2nd mixtape of the year! 

Welcome returns from: Pearl Jam, James, Norah Jones, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Ministry, Bayside.

New music from: St. Vincent, Dean Lewis, Kings Of Leon, Vampire Weekend.

Covers galore! Paramore tackling Talking Heads, Pierce The Veil doing a killer Radiohead cover, PAW covering Nirvana, Front Line Assembly with Jimmy Urine covering Falco! 

I don't think anyone writes love ballads as beautifully as Susie Suh. The songs by Principe Valentine and Allie X, both new discoveries for me, feel straight out of a John Hughes movie or an 80's goth club. It's great to hear an unearthed Linkin Park tune.

And the title of this mix comes from the new Beth Gibbons (of Portishead) single, "Floating On A Moment," which ends with the lyric "all we have is here and now, all going nowhere." Crank it, enjoy, discover something new!
