mp3s: The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart Mixtape
Mining 2009.sxsw.com, Vol. 9
Next up on out little continuing series of SXSW-related mp3s is The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart who are playing all over place during SXSW (not as much as The Mae Shi, but hey… they set a pretty high bar).
I’ve said it before, TPOBPAH sound like an amalgamation of a bunch of late 80’s-early 90’s college rock, but at the same time they does NOT sound dated. We first heard about them last year in The L Magazine’s 8 NYC Bands You Need to Hear article. There’s an old GT blogspot post about that here. Well, as you may know The Pains have been quite mp3friendly, so I thought I would go and compile all their mp3s that have been floating around the internets and plop them into one handy post. Without further ado, I give you The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart Mixtape:

Question: Are you one of the people who think The Pains sound like a poppier version of Black Tambourine? If not, take a listen: Black Car (slumberland mp3)
Another Question: Is it possible for me to mention The Mae Shi and not post an mp3 from them? Not this time… Boys In The Attic (mp3)
