A Mixtape For The Thankful

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

oh yum!

Today I am spending time with family out here in Boston. So I would say I am thankful for that. Also I am thankful for you. Yes, you! You people that have been reading my blog since August (or November of last year for those very few of you) and download and listen to whatever it is that I am currently loving. Apparently you trust my opinion and you keep coming back for more (according to my stats). I started this blog to basically share my taste with fello music lovers and maybe help a few struggling artists get some ears pointed in their direction. I never try to post anything to gain an audience, I just post what I like and hope those of you like it too. I’m also thankful for all the artists that have answered the Kuestionnaire. They never had to, it was all their choice and I’m happy with the outcome so far.
So here’s to you and your families. Have a safe holiday!

Autumn, My Dear: A Mixtape

Friday, September 26th, 2008

The first weekend of Autumn is here. So I decided to construct a little 10 song mixtape for those of you that plan on taking a little walk through the woods to check out the foliage. These songs in particular represent the dreariness and slow change that Autumn brings. So strap on the headphones and let me know what you think…

8 Tracks Mix-Fest

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Since Muxtape has been down, the creative mix tape public has been hungry for more free online streaming sites to display their wonderful ability to piece together other people’s music into collages of awesomecore. Last.fm’s playlist capability isn’t that hot and Imeem is okay. Lately though, I’ve fallen in love with 8 Tracks. You post 8 tracks in whatever order you like, add artwork, and send it to friends or embed it on your website. Not nearly as stlyish as Muxtape, but it’ll suffice until the RIAA figures out how many ways they want to fuck them sideways.

So I kind of went nuts last night and made a few mixes to satisfy your ears for a bit.
