Photography by Tsuru Man on man, Baby, the family, and I had a BLAST yesterday at Zoombezi Bay water park! It's not most the biggest or the best thing in the world, but water slides and family make for good times no matter what! But, it's funny, as you can read by the title, we are presenting a summer themed mixtape today, a mixtape compiled by the best music community ever, i.e. Our Society , but man, the weather today and yesterday [...]
Well folks we've almost put the first week of summer behind us. Although people try to say the start of summer is that weekend at the end of May that has a holiday in it. Summer actually starts on that day when the daylight hours start growing shorter. Summer. The gals have put away their sweaters and suddenly we men are treated to skimpier clothes. The muscle guys break out their mesh shirts, and us fatter guys spend more time sucking in our guts. The road crews seem to have every street in the city tore up and the birds [...]
1964 World Artists 2002 This tune was pop hit in England back in 1964. It was produced by Shel Talmy who learned his craft in Los Angeles as an engineer. The back story is curious: Whilst on vacation in England, he played some Beach Boys and Lou Rawls tracks to some Decca brass (erroneously claiming production credits) -They hired him on to produce some amazing groups - Kinks, The Who, Bowie, The Creation, and more. He had the skills to back up the Beach Rawls ruse. Rushmore fans might remember this tune [...]
Here at Carry You Away, we like mixes. Now that I have a car with a CD player, I really like putting together a collection of songs to fit a particular driving style or mood that I find myself in, and go from there. Recently, I got to thinking about movie soundtracks and how a lot of the hipster, indie films often have this sort of attitude - a mix-tape is generally just as good when it comes to a film. [...]

Cincinnati, Ohio Chad & Jeremy - A Summer Song
It's funny that when summer comes and you suddenly have nothing but free time, that you find yourself with almost no free time at all. What with frisbee, planting a garden, watching Doctor Who, cooking, and celebrating two close friends getting engaged, there's just no time to post on the blog. So, in honor of all the wonderful things about summer, here's a track that was my absolute favorite song in the world for several years when I was growing up. I would sit in my room on rainy Washington days watching the streaks run down [...]
I was sure I needed to get my eyes checked when I read that folk-pop legends Chad & Jeremy would be appearing at the Folk Alliance Conference this year. I was stunned. " THE Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde? Could it be? 'Distant Shores'? 'A Summer Song'? No!" Before the thoughts could be completely formulated, I was told that yes, in fact, they would be attending and I could rest assured I would be surprised. Even 40 years later, it's as if time stood still when you hear them. These guys [...]
I forgot to do a Monday morning mini-mix this week, and I was inspired by the originals mix I posted last week with Cover Me, I'm Goin' In - so I thought I'd share this, a handful of tunes I hadn't heard in YEARS until I started digging through old songs for last week's mix. I bet you know all the words too. Spiral Starecase - " More Today Than Yesterday " (from More Today Than Yesterday ) The Cowsills - " The [...]
