Social Disco Club - The Unity Agency Mix (May 2012) [mp3]
Currently listening to as my weekend jump off soundtrack.
90 minutes of real nice House-ish grooves. Perfect.
This is something I made for a couple of friends IRL… it’s not a monthly mixtape (remember those?), it’s not a DJ set. It’s an hour and a half playlist of songs that are a great back drop for when you’re chilling out. I recorded the playlist as a single mp3 and faded the songs in and out of each other. You know, like a radio show, minus the talk and commercials.
It features bands like The Shins, Joni Mitchell, Bahamas, Bon Iver, Woodpigeon, The Tallest Man on Earth, Laura Marling, Birdy, Cur De Pirate, Gil Scott-Heron, Allo Darlin’, Craig Finn, Ryan Adams, Best Coast, and Grimes. Music mostly written on guitars (as opposed to synths or samplers). Pairs well with a comfy chair and three cocktails.
Download and relax this weekend, won’t you?
Look, I made a funny!
(I’m a week behind on TV and just catching up now).
Fugees - Vocab (Refugees Hip Hop Remix) [mp3]
Yesterday, I listened to the latest episode of The Champs Podcast, which features a lengthy interview with Pras from the Fugees.
Today, I am going down a rat hole of mid-90’s Hip Hop mp3s.
Elijah & Skilliam - R&B Classics - Rinse FM 7/5/12 [mp3]
Afternoon at work cool jamz alert!
A 3 HOUR dj set of 90’s R&B.
Track list here.
Listen, I’m as excited as all the other self-identifying electo-nerds about the playable Google doodle of a Moog Synth, but is a 15 minute video tutorial on how to play the doodle really necessary?
Pretty great long weekend. More of these, please.
Lazy Sunday - Dec 17th 2005
Lazy Sunday 2- May 19th 2012
The elephant in the room: The Lonely Island dudes have been fake rapping for 7 (seven!) years. I’m not knocking them… I’m just pointing out that we’re all very, very old.
Thinking about having a “Pop Rocks Minute” of my own. (Taken with Instagram at Westbank)
