Mixtape 47: “This Human Form Where I Was Born I Now Repent–Repent!”

Every Wednesday, Web in Front will be offering up a digital mixtape, comprised of whatever happens to be floating through my head and ears at the time–great local music (including exclusive unreleased tracks from our Featured Artist Interviews), old favorites and oddball obscurities; also featured will be mixes made by some of our favorite Los Angeles musicians, along with the stories and explanations behind their picks.

While there’s a myriad of new tunes in today’s mixtape–new tracks from Local Natives, Sharon Van Etten, Jenny Lewis and Jonathan Rice, The Smiles, Seasons, and Telegram, along with older material by My Morning Jacket, Lou Reed, the National, Pixies, and Madeleine Peyroux–the real draw is the mix’s closer, “Good Times!”.  An boozy and freewheeling acoustic jam, the song was composed by Red Cortez’s Ryan Kirkpatrick as a tune to commemorate equally boozy and freewheeling, well, good times had with friends in L.A.  Hang out with the guy at Spaceland, and you find the song sitting in your inbox the next day–and it’ll put a smile on your face.  Tracklisting and song info after the jump.
