Yes, yes ya’ll, we are back. Great time to get our weekly mixtapes back up and running for everyone to enjoy, as I am no longer planning my wedding or on my honeymoon. Yup, Tracy and I have been happily married for two months now, thankyouverymuch! Here’s some new stuff that trickled into our offices or that stumbled blindly into my Google Reader that I couldn’t ignore.

In this edition: Kings of Leon, Bat for Lashes, The Faint, Houseguest, Jem, Drones, The Hush Now, Soft Targets, and Her Space Holiday.

Come check out the Radio Exile mp3 Mixtape: Vol. 7 Side A “after the jump”
