Hello its been a while with the mixes..
download here



This mix contains every genre tag on this blog so it should be interesting, it marks the end of one era and the beginning of another, as mixes sometimes do. And i didn't make it for anyone once again but it definitely has people in mind, those that inspire, and those that cause pain.. and then the ones that do both.

and a reason to see him live:

a few of my favorite songs of the year from various genres
there are four parts to this mix: ethnic, electronic, hip hop, and indie...
it's quite a journey. hope you enjoy: download here

Although he looks as if he should be singing for disney, twenty two year old scottish singer/musician Paolo Nutini has the voice of a fourty something year old soul legend. Below are four videos that encompass his versatility in genre: the first a soulful pop song, the second an upbeat ska/reggae piece, the third a jammin blues track, and the fourth a melancholy ballad. All of these songs can be found on his album, Sunny Side Up, one of my favorites this year. Thanks my dear bff Laya for giving me this album.

Erykah Badu and her many talents....

My roommate eric bought a new cd player for his mazda millenia. He installed it himself so i made him a mix: Mazda Millenia. Great for long drives!


For lovers of 60s, 70s, psych, soul, pop, surf, n jazz.

Jamie Lidell put out a new album in April titled JIM and now he's going on tour and I am SOOOO EXCITED TO SEE HIM. This guy is a straight up genius little white man with a voice like Al Green. If you live in LA, he is playing at the El Rey on May 29th. Here's an episode from a 3 part short film album preview thingy featuring my favorite songs off the new album:



And if you ever want to hear some real shit (by that i mean if you're into idm & warp records), check out his (perhaps?) oldest album, Muddlin' Gear. It's the coolest EVER and it's actually helping me study for finals right now.

"Multiply" from his older album, "Multiply"


"If I could swallow the sky, and the mountains too, I'd do it, so there'd be nothing to fall on you, cause in a world full of wonder, don't let it all pull you under, there's still a little wonder left in you" - Jamie

A mix for late night lovers everywhere.
