this mix is a story.. a progression of sentiments and moods experienced upon returning to my hometown, los angeles, leading up to the point where i am now, ready to leave again. like most of my mixes, its a bipolar one, mixed with nostalgia for my hometown, lament over lost ones, anger and boredom, while in the end finding solace as it travels further east.

So finally, after a semester abroad with much traveling and photography and not enough time spent on listening to and finding new music, I give you the Hood Fairy mix. This will count as best of 2010 in music as many of these songs happen to be from 2010.. This mix covers my winter period, the lonely nights spent in my bed in Prague with headphones on, unable to move from the various euphoric sounds entering my ears... as well as the cold walks to class, trudging through snow and thinking only intense rap music could save me. So you will get a dose of that... also the sound of a fairy's wand comes up intermittently throughout much of the mix somehow, hence it's name. Lastly, the song "Terry" is dedicated to my best friend Taylor who died while I was away. I would make a Taylor mix, but it'd be full of Magnetic Fields and Belle and Sebastian (memories of our time spent together in high school) and I'm not sure I want to go there again.

Hello its been a while with the mixes..

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.

a nice blend of underground, old school, hyphy, and southern rap. download here

A warm-hearted compilation drenched in psychedelic goodness made by yours truly. Not your typical garage rock or heavy psychedelia but what you will find here are friendly folk ballads and tripped out pop masterpieces from the 60s as well as a few from today.

in particular; download here + the tracklisting:



i like it more than my other mixes because i didn't have anyone in mind while making it. and i am so happy i found the link wray cd i thought only existed on vinyl so there's a little overdose of that as well as 100dbs overdose because its better than all the other hip hop out there at the moment; plus if you listen to all nine minutes of track 4 you get a special surprise somewhere near the end. pure nostalgia, and a tribute to all music !!

Homeboy 100dbs just put out his second album. I completely forgot about this and am purchasing it online as we speak. Brenner's Breaks 2 is available for download here. If you loved his other stuff be sure to get this, and if you haven't checked him out, you will love it! Trust me.

And, as promised, the Killer of Sheep soundtrack can be downloaded here.

download here. its full of surprises
kudos if you can find the title in the mix



i think you have to be weird, awesome, and slightly sensitive to truly enjoy this

an idea of what it would be like to see amon tobin live...



click the picture for the link. bought this at some recreating russian art / theremin orchestra + pb wolf/j rocc/cut chemist concert i went to a while back. my friend charlie has been on my case about burning this for him so i decided to upload it and share with the world/my friends. by all means go buy all of his albums (especially permutation & supermodified) and hopefully this will encourage you to go see him spin if he ever comes to your town; his myspace
