High Bias Mixtape Series Vol 7: "Pas de printemps pour Mimix"


Mix by special guest Michel (of Cocosuma!)

Just in time for Spring! A celebration of pop from one our favorite artists in Europe, this month's mix is sure to put a smile on your face! Michel sez: "Où il s'agira ici de Pop Muzik
Avec un P majuscule, comme dans Poésie
Des chapeaux pointus de Devo au western douillet de Harpers et leurs bizarreries,
Le sentiment se fait international et la pop se transforme man, au grès des pays.
Entre le 'parce que edit' d'Invert et Bela Wala Shi
c'est le jour et la nuit
On a le vertige horizontal sur la planche en France et la pluie
se fait triste et songeuse en Australie.
Car aujourd'hui c'est admis, presque un fait établi:
'New York, London, Paris, Munich
Everybody talk about Pop Muzik'"
