Fall Mix 2009

I'm this weeks guest blogger on Primitive Future.

My friend Todd asked me to make a mix for his blog Primitive Future. Head over there and check it out! The songs are very weather appropriate (at least if you live in Chicago).

Spring Mix

Muxtape

After a conversation with a friend the other night about internet mixtapes, I uploaded a mix to this website that hosts all sorts of them. There's nothing rare or too out of the ordinary on mine, just a bunch of songs I'd listened to that day. I was mostly just playing around to see how the site worked and thought I'd make one of my own just for fun. Check it out if you're interested. Real update coming soon.


One Tundra to the Next

Mix - 4/15/08

My good friend Nyree recently asked me to recommend some music for her to check out. Since she moved to New York a few months ago I can't simply have her come over or burn her records, so I figured I'd use this forum to post mixes that she and anyone else can download. Most of this stuff is not new, but I rarely ever make mixes for people anymore so I went with a bunch of songs I've thought about putting on mixes for people. Enjoy.

01. AC/DC - If You Want Blood (You Got It)
02. The Lemonheads - Down About It
03. Duran Duran - Come Undone
04. Teenager - Alone Again
05. The Impressions - Can't Satisfy
06. Sparklehorse - Some Sweet Day
07. Beulah - All Points North
08. Leatherface - Not Superstitious
09. STAR - Exploding Order
10. Daniel Johnston - Mind Contorted
11. XTC - Ballad for a Rainy Day
12. George Harrison - Run of the Mill
