| David Bowie says farewell with Blackstar
The new year is here and it's good to have some fresh cuts in the iPod as we enjoy the winter wonderland.
The music world lost a great one in David Bowie. His last album Blackstar [January 8th, via ISO] is one that resonates with fans of all ages. The track "Lazarus" is a swan song of sorts, and has traces of his career layered in the sounds. He will be missed.
January's Playlist kicks the year off with a bang, and provides a burst of energy while racing down the ski slopes.

| Phoenix goes Bankrupt! |
"Beware the Ides of March" is the famous warning given to the title character in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. If Caesar existed today, they might be telling him to beware the "mp3s" of March, for they may cause dancing seizures. This month's mix features some spring-time gems in the form of spanking new indie rock and hypnotic shoe-gaze, sure to help put winter in the rearview mirror.
French alternative-rock darlings Phoenix are making some major noise in anticipation of their upcoming 5th studio release Bankrupt! [April 22, via Glassnote]. The 4-piece rock outfit, led by Thomas Mars, has introduced the first single in the form of the synthy, eastern-sounding "Entertainment." While Mars states he'd "rather be alone", it is safe to say the band most certainly won't be as their tour will bounce through the western United States featuring a headlining spot at Coachella. They will also be at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival followed by a slew of European festivals including Primavera Sound, Pinkpop, and Leeds Festival.
As the snow continues to melt away, the March mix most definitely does its best to bring about the much needed sunshine of the spring. In fact, it's so good that it would have Caesar saying "I came, I listened, I conquered."
