ATH is back on our BS this Friday as we try to kickstart your weekend right with some tunes spinning on the tables over at Tweedys bar near campus from 5pm-8pm(ish). As per usual, the music will feature an eclectic mix of random tunes we like with requests taken but not always honored. All music comes straight from our very own record collections and is sure to get your feet moving, so bring your party pants.

We’ll also have some used LPs and 45s for sale from the legend @djrayray_ath. Prices are cheap and always negotiable. Bring it.

Gimme 5: Slothrust

unnamed-1After the smashing success of my first Gimme 5 feature with ACL band Corbu, I decided to keep the idea churning with bands coming into Austin. An easy first choice for the idea was Brooklyn rockers Slothrust. The band was in town last night at The Parish, and though I couldn’t be in attendance, I hear the show was was like most Slothrust shows, bad ass. So prior to the show, I asked the band to pick 5 random songs that mean something to them or have inspired them in the past. No rules or limitations. Follow the jump to see what they came up with.

A Make It Through Your Afternoon Mix

Ian Orth is a busy guy these days. Spinning as one half of Learning Secrets, leading the band Orthy and putting together some sweet mixes in his spare time. Hell, he was even recently featured in Tribeza Magazine.

So, I introduce to you one of his recently shared mixes. It was for El Paso’s Late Night Social Club. There be smooth beats here and you can download it. Ian has a knack for picking the remixes that don’t suck and making them work together, so nod your head through the rest of your workday and download it for your weekend.

Anyone have a set of lungs I could borrow?
