Artist Mix Tape: Thomas Dean
This Wednesday marks the second installment of our Artist Mix Tape series that’ll last throughout the next few months. If you’re in a band that’s featured by our guests, and you’d like your song removed, please email us and we’d be happy to take your track down (I’m lookin at you Sparks XTC, I have a feeling a bunch of these fools are gonna post the shit outta your tracks).
Please welcome Thomas Dean of the quirky, abrasive, yet undeniably catchy goth-garage band Order, formerly Order of the Dying Orchid. Last summer Order saw it’s first proper LP release in 9 years, comprised of some highlights and some pretty deep cuts from the band’s near decade of existence. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Thomas Dean’s brainchild Order, which will be celebrated by a yet to be detailed release that you’ll undoubtedly be reading about on this blog later this year. You can check out more information on Order here, buy the LP here, and their split cassette with Elephant Child here.

I ripped this one myself……. one of the best Lilys tracks from this period. Maybe one of their best period.

“Foolish” is my second favorite Superchunk LP . I saw them 4 times in one month in high school.
