Last week, The Mixtape took a vacation. That's a bit misleading. Vacation implies that there was fun and merriment, which isn't the case. The dynamic of life altered a bit (for the good, mind you) and, as a result, last week's Mixtape didn't see the light of web. The quick and dirty on it is that the top three remained the same and two new songs entered - the recently re-formed Polvo and the greatest rapper alive (no need for quotes - Hova solely deserves that title. Weezy...whatever) - aka S. Carter aka Jigga aka Jay-Z. So there's that.
This week, the top two remain the same. Animal Collective and Grizzly Bear have been the 1-2 punch of summer listening for a few weeks, but that could be changing. Most of the top ten songs have remained the same for the last few weeks, but Sonic Youth (9) and Deer Tick (10) represent the newest top-ten entries.
The real action occurs just a bit farther down at numbers 16 and 17 where Mos Def drops two brand new songs - "Life In Marvelous Times " and "Casa Bey" respectively - on to the 'Tape. Honestly, Def's whole album, The Ecstatic, could go on there, but that wouldn't be fair to Telekinesis, Spoon, Spanish Prisoners , DJ Kaos, and Wilco who also have new entries this week.
So two it is for now. But here's a spoiler alert - The Ecstatic will definitely be in The Mixtape Top Ten Albums of 2009.
