Modcast #52: Tame Impala Mixtape #4 - Kevin Parker

Summary: The fourth and final Tame Impala mixtape dubbed 'Life Affirming Music' coincidentally arrives for us the very same day of InnerSpeaker's release, direct from frontman Kevin Parker. Tracklist 1. Todd Rundgren - "International Feel" "Put this in your pipe and smoke it. Guy in 60's psych band starts solo studio wizard career of cosmic epiphanous proportions. WwwwooowwooooAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH." 2. Ratatat - "Lex" "Was obsessed with these guys for a good while. They really have their own way of playing guitar. Genius melodies/beats." 3. Dungen - "Fredag" "I have to keep a lid on Dungen's influence on me or it would consume me completely. The rhythm in this song is one I always find myself gravitating to." 4. Caribou - "Melody Day" "Canadian guy who records all the instruments himself. A perfect mutant cross between 60's psych and electronic music." 5. Supertramp - "Logical Song" 6. Supertramp - "Breakfast in America" 7. Supertramp - "Take the Long Way Home" "Supertramp marathon, fuck yeah." 8. Frank Zappa - "Peaches en Regalia" "I love Frank Zappa in very small doses, this constitutes most of that dose." 9. Prefuse 73 - "Nature's Uplifting Revenge" "A relatively schizophrenic syringe shot of bliss to the brain." 10. King Crimson - "Court of the Crimson King" "Soundtrack to battling a serpent on the edge of a cliff, losing, and then getting up and winning the battle." 11. Royksopp - "Eple" "It feels like there would be a lot more songs like this in the world but for some reason there aren't." 12. Pop Levi - "Call the Operator" "My favourite Pop Levi song, the rest of the band begged me to put another Pop Levi song on but I love it's cheesy crooning goodness."
