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.

Here is it, over SEVEN HOURS of music. What follows is a compilation of all the tracks that have been stuck in my head throughout this last year. Definitely check out first 21 tracks, but also make sure you scroll through the whole list. Perhaps there is something down there that you missed (maybe maybe)?

Did I miss something totally awesome? Then leave a comment and let me know. Have fun listening/downloading.

Oh, and be sure to check out our of best of posts, and while you are at it why not peruse previous GIMME TINNITUS best of songs lists from 2010 and 2009?
 

Earlier this week, Dinowalrus dropped a track from their upcoming LP, Best Behavior, which is set to be released on March 6th, 2012 via Old Flame Records. Best Behavior was recorded over the past two years with Nadim Issa and Matt Walsh (of The Forms), and features drumming from The Depreciation Guild’s Anton Hochheim. On this, their second LP, band has narrowed their focus in order to create synthy jangle rock in the vein of the Madchester sound. This track has a brief cameo vocal appearance from friend of the band Patrick Stickles (of Titus Andronicus).

Listen.

Downloadable: What Now (mp3)

Be on the look out for a remix by Jez Kerr (of A Certain Ratio) as well as three different side projects of the “hair-metal, acid-house and stonesy glam rock persuasions.”

Preorderage should be available in the not too distant future @ oldflamerecords.bigcartel.com.
