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*.

Alisha & I came up with a new Tumblr idea after trading too many MP3s by email late last night. We’ll take turns posting a song a day to Song Pong, and the only rule is that each post must somehow relate to the previous one. This is the first post, so it’s connected to nothing but pure awesome.
