Totally went off last night at Nate's birthday party. There was a gnarly stripper in a LOST replica DHARMA Initiative jumpsuit, way too much Flip Cup, a 4:00am Dance Dance Revolution competition, and the cops only showed up twice investigating noise complaints! I'd say we successfully dragged the birthday boy into the first hours of his 27th year with style. So, I'm gonna get some rest. How's about a mix tape for you. RULES for uninitiated noobs : I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods [...]
This week I have been taking a stroll down memory lane, recapping some of my most successful Sunday Mix Tapes. The next new one will be number 200, you know. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that this is a very exciting time for us all. Although I must say, if I'm still doing this after 200 more mix tapes I might have to consider making some big changes in my life. After mix tape number 100 I decided to make a change. It was January 14th, 2008 when I unilaterally (is that what you'd call [...]
Last year this record came into the store in a standard over-the-counter buy (as opposed to coming from a private collection). I giddily snatched it up the day it appeared. You know how crazy I get for those Nurse With Wound list items. There's no way I'll ever own every release attributed to every artist on the list, but I've got more than a few now so it's exciting to find new affordable pieces to add to my collection. From the All-Music Guide: "Glaxo Babies were the fore-runners of a wave of Bristol music that spawned [...]
It has been a very strange - sometimes fun, sometimes agonizing - week. I don't really have much else to say. Here's your Sunday Mix Tape. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. Of course there's a fucking theme [...]
New old sounds Normally EMJ is dedicated to posting on new music, admittedly we do trip back in time a bit every now and then, but after some extensive browsing today I found so many great old gems I'd never heard/heard of before I thought it'd be interesting to share some with my fellow music lovers. Admittedly most of these were found on the eternally amazing WFMU's website, from one of their DJ's compilations posted in 2006, called Obey The New Wave: 1980 and all [...]
Of all the posts that have shown up on the proliferous Cargo Culte blog, the one I have gone back to quite often is I Hate Art, Can't Stand It , which provides a nice companion soundtrack to Simon Reynolds' book Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984. With the permission of the Demagogues of the Cargo Culte, I have compiled 15 more hits from Art Punk's formative years. Some of the bands are mentioned in Reynolds' book; others are [...]
Oh man, last night was filled with good times. Nicci had a "wrap party" for a student film she acted in, and then it was our friend Thesy's birthday. I absolutely love parties at Thesy's mansion in the hills because it inspires me to try to meet as many people as possible. I put on superficial smiles and get really drunk and chat up as many people as possible. I especially love all the weird looking fuckers that show up. Also, I like annoying the douchey "Hollywood types" that tend to congregate in really small groups and look around at [...]
The video above comes from Portland`s very own one-man band `Boy Eats Drum Machine`aka Jon Ragel who bleeps our radar this week, anyone who mixes turntables with saxophone, has my vote any day. Almost a miniature Roxy Music meets Breakbeat without the make-up, so neatly compacted into our post mod ern digital age. Refreshing. Ivy : Worry About You Learn More And Buy [...]

Nathan Nothin here... I've been barricaded in the vinyl room for four days now. I just now found out that it's Sunday night. So my Saturday Mix is a slight misnomer, well sue me. The hurricane curtains block out all light, all sound louder than my stereo. Four days of nothing but vinyl... What I have convinced myself that I believe that I remember that I heard, random pockets of memory left un-eroded by the torrential squall of drugs & alcohol, the following soundtrack from my latest lost weekend. Tracks: Baby's on Fire - Brian Eno [...]
This month's DJ comp harkens all the way back to 2001 (and 21 years further back from there), from the late great program Rhubarb Cake . Here is Douglas' marathon premium from that year, titled Obey The New Wave - 1980 and all that-- UK DIY, etc. Here's how Douglas described it at the time: 23 blurts of intense, delicious, mysterious and staggeringly unusual UK DIY and art-post-punk, circa 1980. Grab this comp quick - these tracks will be up for one week only. Nancy Sesay and the Melodaires - C'est [...]
