Some of you guys enjoyed my January Mix so much that you’ve requested more. I couldn’t let you down. So I made you guys another mix for February.
I know, I know, it’s March 2nd. I’ve been a bit behind on life, and am still playing catch up. I threw together this mix with my favorite stuff from the past 28 days or so. Some of these you should know, and some of them you may not know. That all doesn’t matter. These are 32 songs that kept me very happy through the gray month that we know as February.
I put this songs together in an order that made some sense in my mind. There are all kinds of songs here, and hopefully a few of them do you some good. This is meant to be played for top to bottom. So if you add the entire thing to your iTunes, it should be placed in order. You can stream all tracks individually if a little taste is all you’re after. You can download the whole thing as a ZIP file at the end of the post as well.
I hope you enjoy my February 2011 Mix. Please be sure to leave a comment below, letting me know your thoughts,. Good, or bad. Let me know what songs worked for you, and what didn’t.

It was such a sweet month!
Kevin — 2 Mar 11
Thanks for sharing. First time hearing the The Heron and the Fox….and I love it.
Huberticus — 2 Mar 11
Good ear.
Uzair — 3 Mar 11
Thanks.
I would’ve included:
1. The Joy Formidable (not sure if this is January or February)
2. Hey Rosetta! (this Canadian band should’ve gotten big instead of Arcade Fire)
3. The Boxer Rebellion (Step Out of the Car is the only track that would make it).
Good early start to this year, really liking that Chapel Club album.
Michael — 3 Mar 11
This is really great. Thanks.

I don’t know a lot of these songs, but I can’t wait to listen to them. I do love seeing Elbow there however! And I like the idea of monthly playlists. I’ve been making my own every month since coming to college. It’s so fun to look back at old playlists and get that rush of feelings from the past.
Harry — 4 Mar 11
Great Playlist! Please keep making these!
Giovanna — 4 Mar 11
Great playlist. My favourites are Sèance on a wet afternoon and The great Pan is dead.
Will — 5 Mar 11
Thanks guys, glad you’re enjoying them. Looks like this is going to be a monthly thing now!
Caesar — 5 Mar 11
Thanks Will. Your music IQ is off the charts! I really enjoyed Tony Castles-Black Girls In Dresses. I also loved Chapel Club’s All The Eastern Girls. Both songs tood out from the pack and are played on repeat often.
Taylor — 5 Mar 11
Thanks Will. Possibly silly question – does anyone know an easy way to import the zip into itunes and maintain the original track listing?
Thanks!
Will — 5 Mar 11
If you unzip it and add it to itunes it will come up in order. I forgot to edit the album name, so you may have to add them into a playlist for the tracklist to work.
I’ll make it easier next time! Sorry about that, Taylor.
Matt — 5 Mar 11
Thanks again for having such a strong blog. You always manage to introduce me to new music. I was particularly thrilled with you introducing me to Two Door Cinema Club last year. This is another excellent list, and I can’t wait to learn more about some of the new-to-me artists in the future.
Will — 5 Mar 11
Glad I can help in some way, Matt. Means my blog is doing it’s job. Thanks for reading, and I hope I can keep introducing you to new bands!
Sarah — 6 Mar 11
Thank you. Your brain is awesome. I’m a fan.
Emma — 11 Mar 11
Ahh this mix is awesome! I especially like The Vaccines “Wetsuit”. I have to say I’m extremely excited to hear their full length on May 31st

[...] As usual, you can stream each track as well as grabbing a ZIP file of the entire mix. When you add the mix to iTunes, it’s included as one album with the correct tracklisting so you can listen to it as I intended. I hope you guys enjoy!
