Monolith is a music festival outside of Denver from September 12-13. I’ve been hunting down music by all the bands performing since I bought my two day pass a month or so ago (thanks to Ralph for the heads up on the presale!).

I just made two Monolith mixes (because my car has no iPod connector), and I thought I’d share. If this incredible collection of musical goodness inspires you, tickets are still available and you’re welcome to crash at my new place in Denver*.
