Every time I make a new Mike Mix I’m amazed by how much good music falls through the cracks over time. After all, only a small number of songs on each mix have been featured previously on my site. There simply isn’t enough time to write about them all.
Which is why I love making these mixes so much: songs that otherwise would’ve remained permanently buried finally see the light of day. The 14 tracks of Mike Mix 9 are no exception. Many of them are appearing on my site for the first time; most of them should’ve been posted months ago.
With all that said, it’s time to introduce Mike Mix 9.
Despite its quiet start, Mike Mix 9 packs quite a punch. “Lookout Mountain” by Drive-By Truckers rocks incredibly hard; “Else” by Built to Spill bounces around nervously; and “Only In Dreams” by Weezer builds to an epic climax. At the opposite end of the spectrum, “My Lady’s House” by Iron & Wine plods along gently while “The Blackest Crow” by Justin Rutledge quietly refuses to end (in a good way).
As always, I highly recommend listening to Mike Mix 9 in the order presented below. Download or stream the entire mix using the links below! Enjoy!

Mike – nice to see a couple of good Iron & Wine songs make the mix. Definitely one of my favorite bands.

Thanks for the new mix, great job. I had forgotten how good Weezer could be? Karen
