The mix tape for March is a mixed bag of loud and quiet gems. Current favourites are Modest Mouse (must buy their new album) and neat sequeway into Jose Gonzalez's gorgeous 'Crosses'. Surjan Stevens track is a killer too... yet another album to buy, no doubt.

Two Cow Garage are another fun find, as much for their uncompromising, simple punchy songs as their attitudes - like they were born to be rock stars. Fear of Flying remind me of some 80s band that I can't think of, but it's a cracking tune that always grabs my attention.
