mux update: metric & fanfarlo

I made this update a couple weeks ago but forgot to mention it in a post. There’s probably no need to introduce Metric or the lead single off their new album Fantasies (which is set to release in mid-April) because the song is already all over the radio. The other track is a bit older (2007) from the band Fanfarlo and it’s from the self-titled single You Are One Of The Few Outsiders Who Really Understands Us. It randomly came up on last.fm a month ago and I listened to it quite a bit. It’s got that same great big sound as the Marching Band track also on my muxtape.

Also, not sure why the twitter plugin for my blog was posting all those random twitters. I certainly don’t speak Danish or whatever other languages came up.
