Exciting news: Your latest Flavorpill Mixtape has arrived. Your ears are salivating. Your fingers are ready to click ctrl + left click and “save as.” Eight essential downloads from this past week in music after the jump — all free for the taking! Take a listen, and then leave us a comment with what you think of our selections.
Flavorpill’s weekly show on Viva Radio is a canvas upon which we splash, dot, and etch hyper-fresh gems and classic cuts. In this inaugural edition of Viva La Mix!, we hone last week’s playlist into a mixtape containing 10 essential downloads. Once you’re done downloading, check out our Viva Radio page for this week’s show (which offers a nice preview of next week’s mixtape) and to browse the 60-plus playlists in our archive.
Today at Flavorpill, when we were supposed to be busy working but were secretly watching the inaugural hoopla on Hulu.com while drinking some limited-edition Hennessy 44… we read a bunch of kids’ letters to our new president and then we watch footage of previous inaugurations (Calvin Coolidge was a fox!); we discovered the dangers of loving (yourself on) Twitter too much; we hopped on board a trend that’s sweeping Japan and bought a creepy Obama mask; we cried over the escalating price of coffee; we recovered from the Big Love season premiere; we did a doubletake over this headline; we listened to some new Hot Chip; and finally, we were introduced to a handy gadget that ensures your kisses don’t stink.
