Another week, another round of grabby new tracks for us to hand over to you, dear Flavorpill readers.

Happy royal wedding week, everyone. If you’re anything like us then you will be…well, not paying attention. If all the British royalty hype is making you crazy, then the only solution is to plug in some headphones and ignore it to the tune of this week’s mixtape. We’ve got new ones from the Flaming Lips, Liturgy, and Thee Oh Sees, not to mention Seattle’s dreamy Seapony and Belfast’s Girls Names. To snap them up, right click + “Save As” or scroll to the bottom to download the whole mix.
April showers are upon us, and we aren’t exactly seeing any flowers on the horizon. Mostly those gray skies make us want to hunker under some headphones for the duration of the month. If you’re feeling those pre-sunny day blues, we have just the right dose of noise to keep you going. This week’s mixtape has new ones from heavy hitters like the Beastie Boys and LCD Soundsystem (RIP), not to mention some great new tracks from Flavorpill favorites Chiddy Bang and Cults. Right click + save as to download some single-serving goodness, or scroll tot he bottom for the whole mix.
We’ve got a groove-heavy mixtape for y’all this week, thanks to new ones from Gang Gang Dance and Cold Cave.

Step on in, enjoy the ride, and remember to right click + “Save As” to download each track. Or if you want a lump sum (of songs), scroll to the bottom and get the whole mix.
Though it might not feel like it just yet, spring and his unruly cousin summer are about to hit us. That means the return of one of our favorite things — outdoor concerts! Quite a few of our artists this week would sound great from a picnic blanket (The Flaming Lips or Craft Spells, for example), and some of the others would incite the massive, sweaty dance parties that won’t start till June (Big Freedia, Big K.R.I.T.). Don’t forget to right click + “Save As” to download each song, or scroll to the bottom to score the entire mix.
If you didn’t manage to make down to Austin this week, we have just the thing to fill the gap in your concert-marathon-free life. That’s right: a mixtape! But not just any mixtape. This week we’ve got some hotly anticipated songs from Lil B and Mac Miller, plus some delicious hints of albums to come from TV on the Radio and Junior Boys. Prepare yourself for the next Texas invasion, right click + “Save As” to download individual tracks, and, as always, scroll to the bottom of the post to snag the whole mixtape at once. Bon appetit!
How’s your March going? OK? Too quiet? Stuck inside in the drizzle watching reruns of Will Smith movies? We thought so. Here’s the cure for whatever ails you: another heaping serving of new music, fresh off the griddle. There’s a sneak peek at Wiz Khalifa’s new album, plus tracks from the Dodos, Parenthetical Girls, The Wrens, and more. Right click and “Save As” to download, or if you want it all, scroll down to the bottom to get a big ol’ zip file.
If it were up to us, this week would be officially known as Johnny Cash week. The Man in Black’s birthday is Friday — he would be 79 — and if there’s a better way to celebrate it than to pour some instant coffee laced with whiskey and sidle up to a pile of tunes, we don’t know what it is. So we got him (and you) this great big haul of tracks, from a monstrous black metal ballad from Liturgy to another peek at Lupe Fiasco’s upcoming CD. Enjoy, and don’t forget to right click + save as or scroll down to grab it all.
It’s the week following Valentine’s Day, and if you’re anything like us, you’re currently in a half-off candy-fueled stupor. But President’s Day, in all its diplomatic glory, is right around the corner, and the end of blizzard season might be finally in sight. We’ve got some great new music to celebrate whatever occasion you can come up with, including a new track from Panda Bear and a sample of the Dears’ fifth album, out this week. Don’t forget: right click + Save As to snag those suckers, or roll down to the bottom to get the whole thing.
