Erica likes music
I'm Erica and I'm 22. I also like Diet Coke and Boston sports.
I don't know a lot about music. But I do spend an obscenely large amount of time trolling the web for songs to fall in love with. I also contribute to Tuneage.
You can email me at erica [dot] mayyasi [@] gmail [dot] com or listen to my muxtape. If I've posted your music and you'd rather I didn't, please email me and I will take it down right away. Plus hearing from you will probably be the highlight of my week.

Sunny Day Sets Fire — Wilderness (CSS remix)

Sharleen Spiteri — All The Times I Cried
This is the perfect chick flick song. Mark my words this song will have a triumphant montage set to it in Bridget Jones 8.
Guillemots — Kriss Kross video
New video from the Guillemots via Stereogum. It’s kind of (incredibly) low budget looking, almost entirely black, white and red, and falls prey to many a music video cliches but it’s still vaguely fun to watch and one of my favorite songs. I always listen to it while I put on my make-up pre-bar. I’m sorry, let me clarify: I used to always listen to it while I put on my make-up pre-bar. Now I just watch the Olympics.
David Choe’s gorgeous Obama poster is on sale at Upper Playground. You may ask, does this have anything to do with music? Um YES (kind of not really): David does artwork for Good Vibe recording artists. Er, I just like the poster. (via OMG Posters!)
The mix must go on... current favorites (vol. 4)
Just like the rest of the internet, I am devastated to be muxtape-less. I’d been updating mine with my current favorites (and occasionally themed mixes) and then sharing them here and I’d compiled a great list of 12 new favorites I was excited to share. This certainly isn’t as awesome as muxtape, but I’ve uploaded the 12 songs to this box widget so you *should* be able to stream them in a similar fashion (you can’t see it on your dashboard though… sorry!). I’ve never used the box widget before so please let me know if you have any problems with it.
Get your own Box.net widget and share anywhere!
Here’s the tracklist:
SJ Esau — Bastard Eyes
Apollo Sunshine — Breeze
Madison — Lollipop (Lil’ Wayne cover)
Woodpigeon — Cities of Weather
Soft Targets — Something Else
Arms — Shitty Little Disco
The Walkmen — Canadian Girl
Cold War Kids — Something Is Not Right With Me
Absentee — Bitchstealer
The Donkeys — Dolphin Center
Passion Pit — Sleepy Head
Bat For Lashes — A Forest
I’d been going through a bit of a music rut for a while but am finally out of it and super digging these songs.
Also if you want to look at past tracklists they’re all here!

Black Kids — Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo) video
I’ve been listening to this song nonstop for weeks now and it still hasn’t gotten the slightest bit old. The Black Kids have concocted an equivalently fabulous video chock full of cartoons of our childhood glory days.

Black Kids — No Substitute Love (live Estelle cover)
No way! A Black Kids cover! Love it!
» Update: RIAA Says Muxtape Hosting "Illegal Content"
RIAA spokesperson regarding Muxtape:
For the past several months, we have communicated our legal concerns with the site and repeatedly tried to work with them to have illegal content taken down. Muxtape was hosting copies of copyrighted sound recordings without authorization from the copyright owners. Making these recordings available for streaming playback also requires authorization from the copyright owners. Muxtape has not obtained authorization from our member companies to host or stream copies of their sound recordings.
Gaaaaaah this is all so disappointing.
