As of tonight, if you add up all the Sunday Mix Tapes I've ever made, you get exactly five years worth of music. I don't go around boasting about how I was the first music blog to conceive of a weekly mix tape…but I sure go around thinking as much! Seriously, who the hell even [...]
As much as I want to, I will not be posting any cuts from the new Spiritualized LP, Sweet Heart Sweet Light, which came into my possession yesterday. It was lovingly packaged with posters, flyers and stickers, which I'm trying my best to apply to every available surface in my home. Alas, as the official [...]
![INDIDGINUS feat. PABLO SANDOZ – Gene Swarm [Microdot]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4106625_lg.jpg)
Previously heard through his enjoyable and most eclectic 2011 Bandcamp released album entitled Sofa Surfer , we step back in time to Indidginus's earlier album of 2008 ("Feast or Famine") for a retrospective look at a track called 'Gene Swarm.' Harbouring parallel similarities to The Shamen's 'Re:iteration' track - by using a speech sample as the main centre point in where the main message really lies, 'Gene Swarm' remains ideal, and very un-dated for lots of downtempo magic and wholesome Balearic deeds. Within Indidginus's 130 to 139bpm "Feast or Famine" assortment, lies a [...]
The other day I began to describe the origins of the Sunday Mix Tape feature. Today, I'll describe the end of an era. The second fifty mix tapes, which commenced on January 28th, 2007, saw an increased amount of attention paid to marginalized artists. It was almost as if the first few dozen installments were my way of convincing people to come along for the ride, and the second fifty mix tapes were my way of introducing people to the really good shit. Three years ago, before the reissue and the recent Pitchfork review, you'd never see an [...]

"E.E. Barnard's photo of the North American Nebula, taken on September 4, 1905, illustrates what astronomers call "dark nebulosity" and what I am here calling "white darkness". Is the phenomenon seen here the result of white light splattered on a black background, or blackness emerging from a white background?" Sandoz - White Darkness While I'm trawling these old compilation LPs, here's another beautiful ambient track taken from Narcosis . Sandoz, AKA Richard H. Kirk , was a member of Cabaret Voltaire and [...]

Wow. Last night's dinner party was pretty incredible. Good people, excellent food, an overall great experience. I sampled dishes I'd ordinarily shy away from, and tried my best to liven up the gathering with my particular brand of humor and gregariousness. On a scale of one-to-ten, I'd say my performance was a twenty-two billion, three-hundred eighty-four million, seventy-six thousand, one-hundred and forty two. Thanks, alcohol! Sorry. In all honesty, it was the most fun I've had here yet. Also, in accordance with the laws of full-disclosure, I'm obligated to inform you that I had to choke back a [...]
Another week has ended. A new week is set to begin. I hope your weekends went swimmingly. Maybe some of you even swam somewhere? The weather sure has been warm enough, right? I don't really know, I'm just saying that. For all I know eighty-five percent of the country could be covered in snow. Well, since you asked...my day was nice. I went shopping this morning for groceries and toiletries, then I had a good healthy lunch, and then I spent the afternoon joking around with Steve. We walked down the street drinking matching pink smoothies. It was [...]
