If you want to download all the individual tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions as we are way too lazy to zip and upload every single Monthly Mix.

Also, if you like what you hear you should probably purchase music from the above artists at any of these fine online retailers (or your local independent record store):

Insound | Amazon MP3 | eMusic | Other Music

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

For your streaming pleasure, here’s a few videos I took during the third day of Northside Fest.
 
Streamables:

Bryan and Matt of Marie Stella sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series.

q: What is the last song you (really) heard?

b: Some jam band song I can’t even identify. The music selection at my local coffee shop can be pretty bad sometimes.

m: “Never As Tired As When I’m Waking Up” from LCD Soundsystem, on vinyl, in the wee hours at a rad party!

Streamable: Never As Tired As When I’m Waking Up (youtube)

q: What is your favorite beverage?

b: I’m a fan of the whiskey + ginger. Delicious.

m: Kahlua Mudslide.

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

b: It’s a tie between Liars and Flaming Lips.

m: Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

Downloadables:
Sunset Rodeo (mp3) by Liars
Drug Machine (mp3) by Flaming Lips
Flavor (mp3) by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?

b: Union Hall was my favorite for a long time, because I used to work there. These days… Fort Useless! Santos Party House is pretty great too, in a funhouse of debauchery sorta way. Though I’ve always been a fan of Bowery Ballroom, and I’ve had a lot of great (late, very, very late) nights at the Delancey, Trash Bar, and Pianos. I really miss a few venues that I spent a lot of time at a few years back: Rothko, Sin-e, Northsix, and Tonic all have a special place in my concert-going heart. I left New York right before the big diy venue explosion really happened.

m: Trash Bar

q: What piece(s) of culture are you really really excited about right now?

b: I went to see the Justin Beiber movie. I considered it a cultural exploration.

m: Not sure which “culture” they mean… realistic 3D movies…

q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?

b: We just made new shirts! We’re continuing to record and release digital singles, and should get working on a full length album in early 2012.

m: Guided By Voices vinyl! (Sing For Your Meat tribute album released by No More Fake Labels on Record Store Day 2011)
