Punk' N Center Four

Hello All.
We have landed in Pittsburgh for the next 3 days. And on this last day of January we have finally been able to find the time to post our final mix for the the first month of the year. Here's to the start of February being SUPER, or we hope.

No pics, or pseudo travelogues this time, no sirs and madams, just music. Part two of music that somewhere in the world has seen its physical release in January, 2009. Just to warn yinz, some songs on this mix are slight more fringe pop, definitely not as mellow as the prior. But, let's be real, this is still pop music. That's how we roll at the Unincorporated.

And here it be: PUNK' N CENTER FOUR

1) Stronger Than Jesus:A Camp
Remeber the Cardigans? Well, A Camp is their lead singer, Nina Persson. We'll probably see her again on PNCU this year when we debut our ESL mix.

2) Stop Taking (So Many):Circlesquare
This song sort of builds and builds, but no resolutions really. Canadian band, so we suppose this is to be expected.

3) When She's Near:Fiction Family
Nice break, especially after that Circlesquare song.

4) The Wrestler:Bruce Springsteen
Hey, the Boss is everywhere. In our opinion he should stick to songs like this. Ditch Clarence and his sax, grabber the Seeger sessions musicians, and keep it acoustic. Also, attempt to avoid selling your latest greatest hits volume being sold exclusive at WalMart.

5) Your Sick Blooms:The Hunches
Watchout. Things have a tendency to break when you play this song.

6) Charlie:Kenneth Pattengale
Imagine a world in which Ray LaMontagne was happy and beardless. Meet Ken.

7) Daddy's Gone:Glasvegas
We at the Unincoporated cannot vouch for this album, and we hate this band's name, and the lyrics, well, try to listen too closely, but this song is just so darn singable.

8) Whar:f. Kool G Rap, Ghostface Killah & Tash Mahogany:RZA
From the soundtrack to the show described as: The TV anime series is set in a "futuristic, yet feudal Japan," and stars a samurai named Afro, because of his hair. That is unadulterated from wikipedia, peoples.


9) James Blues:J. Tillman
Drummer for the ubiquitous FleetFoxes. Really great song in our opinion.

10) Her Beautiful Ideas:The Guggenheim Grotto
It is unfortunate that a band's name can be an immediate turn off, but sometimes, if you can get past that first instinct you will find some very good music. Other times, not so much.

11) Brothersport:Animal Collective
There's that resolution we were missing. For what music they make, and what they call themselves, they look surprisingly ordinary.

12) Animal Party:The King Khan & Bbq Show

Conceptually, a song about having a party with animals at your house is long overdue. And it rocks, too. Also, in order to make up for the Unincorporated not getting Four out in time for you all, click here to get theKK&Bshow's self titled album.

Enjoy.
