If you like what you hear you should probably purchase music from the above artists at any of these fine online retailers:

Insound | Amazon MP3 | eMusic | Other Music

And if you haven’t done it already, make sure you check out the other monthly mixes.

Also, If you want to download all the individual tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions.

And now some northwestpunkdub goodness from Explode Into Colors. This track comes off the new new new 2 disc PDX Pop Now! 2009 Compilation which comes out on Thursday. If you live in Portland, you probably already know about PDX Pop Now!. Well, if you don’t know it… “PDX Pop Now! is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting music made in Portland, Oregon.” They are having an all-ages festival (July 24th through the 26th) which features free outdoor and indoor performances from a buttload of local Portland artists. I am guessing I probably won’t be able to attend this year. Maybe next? Hey, but you should totally go. It will be awesome.

Downloadable: Paper (Hot Sax Version) (mp3)

- Finally, here is a new mp3 that I didn’t want to listen to because I didn’t like the name of the band, but then I listened to it and what do you know here I am writing a run on sentence and actually posting the song from the band that I didn’t want to listen to, you dig? The band’s name: Micachu & The Shapes. The song: Lips (beggars mp3)
