Cloud Nothings "Attack On Memory" Mix 2011 by Wichita Recordings

A selection of songs from Cloud Nothings' Dylan Baldi.

01. Black Sabbath "Supernaut"
02. Nina Hagen "Born In Xixax"
03. Killdozer The Pig Was Cool
04. Zounds "This Land"
05. Thin Lizzy "For Those Who Love To Live"
06. The Wipers "No One Wants An Alien"
07. Bitch Magnet "Navajo Ace"
08. Swell Maps "The Helicopter Spies"

Dylan says of the song selection:

While I was writing the songs that would become *Attack On Memory*, I listened almost exclusively to music that was made before I was born. This is a pretty common practice for me, actually, but I took it to a new level while making the record.

I more or less memorized every guitar solo on the best Thin Lizzy albums, listened to only The Wipers for about 3 weeks, and fell asleep to Black Sabbath every night.

This mix condenses my listening habits into an easily digestible "best of", songs that strongly affected what I was thinking while writing my own music. Not to say that every song on *Attack On Memory* sounds like Killdozer, but I do think that the influence of these particular tracks is often obvious, and hopefully sheds some light on why the new Cloud Nothings album sounds so different from any of the past recordings.
