Amo's Hot Shots 3.0
every year and a half, or so, I come out with a music compilation CD. They started because i friend of mine, Zach Mauss, used to give them as gifts to all his friends when we were in college. I just LOVED getting the CD's, and I knew that any time I got a CD mix from a friend (including the music complilation Queen, Megan Orsini, who once sent me 6 CDs at once), I tend to love.love.love them.
Since tonight I had a dinner at a cute little Mile End Pizzeria, where I ate WAY too much, with some of my closest "montreal people," I figured that it was a good time to put together another mix. Amo's Hot Shots 3.0 has hit the shelves!!! You can see playlists for Hot Shots 1 & 2 here. Hot Shots 2.5 had a very limited distribution in December 2009, but, a fantastic play list as well. And, since I didn't list them ever on my blog, here are the play lists for Amo's Hot Shots 2.5 and 3.0.
3.0 has a complilation of mostly Canadian music from 2011 and early 2012. The being said, there are a few Artists that bring me back to Africa; namely K'Naan and Freshly Ground, of which I have included some of their older tracks. There are also a few repeats of artists, which I generally don't like to do too much. But really... who can get enough of bands like The Decemberists and Dan Mangan and Rural Alberta Advantage? Finally, the playlist does not "Flow" as well as I would like it too. Generally, I like to be able to edit them up a bit, in order to have a good song order. But, frankly, time and energy are limited these days, with trying to figure up my work here in Montreal. At the end of the day, how much does that really matter. because, who are we kidding? no one listens to CDs anymore. we just throw on the Mp3s and hit shuffle.
So, enjoy the playlist:
