Since I’m in Seattle today I thought it would be fun to feature some Seattle artists on today’s Monday Mixtape. In addition to some of the more popular grunge rock bands of the 90s (such as Nirvana & Pearl Jam), Seattle is also home to artists like Death Cab for Cutie, Brandi Carlile, Fleet Foxes and Foo Fighters as well as the popular Indie label Sub Pop.

So in honor of Seattle contribution to the music world, here is today’s Monday Mixtape: Seattle Music Mix.

Album: Narrow Stairs
Artist: Death Cab For Cutie

Dashboard

Album: We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
Artist: Modest Mouse

It was actually really difficult to decide which songs from these Seattle artists to include in this mixtape. There are so many amazing tracks that are equally good. Be sure to check out other songs by these great artists.

Who is your favorite Seattle Artist?

    Where’s Poor Old Lu or Aaron Sprinkle or Fair? Early representatives in the Christian subculture of the Seattle influence (more Death Cab than Nirvana, but still…), and of the early Tooth & Nail Records days.

    Tim, I guess I never really was that big into Aaron Sprinkle or the other bands you mentioned. And I didn’t even know Tooth & Nail had their roots here in Seattle as well…that’s cool.

    Vince, I totally agree. Fleet Foxes and Band of Horses (just realized how animal-centric those names sound when you say them together) are both some of my favs. Especially Band of Horses.

    Man. When I think of what Nirvana and U2 did for pulling us out of the 80’s into speaking toward the future, I get jealous. Good stuff. ch:
