Music Fan’s Mic Mix: August 2010

Seems an odd time to begin a project, halfway through the year. But it’s been an idea roaming around the ol’ head for some time, and with August being our biggest, most productive month yet, it seemed a good time to introduce to you our monthly, tounge-twistingly titled, Music Fan’s Mic “mix” of August-related treats. Be it from the finest releases over the four weeks, or merely in relation to a news story, the tracks have at least some minor relevance to August and ourselves.
Sorry U.S users, you’ll need Spotify for this, enjoy the links to our articles to discover the music we’ve included…
