Feb 6, 5:56pm hearsay
february 2012 mix I don't know if the correct term is "blessed," "graced," or "honored," but I felt all of the above when guest DJ Wyndham's funky mix landed in my inbox this month. I can think of no more fitting of a mix in light of Don Cornelius' recent passing. I know you all got soul, so be sure to enjoy these Super Low Prices. February 2012 Mix - "Super Low Prices" guest mix by DJ Wyndham 01 Paul Nero - This Is Soul (1970) [...]

favorite songs 2011

Dec 31, 2011, 11:24am hearsay
favorite songs 2011 I'm officially not doing an albums of the year list. There have been so few that I wholeheartedly enjoy, I'd have to do a top 10 that starts at 8. But that is not to say that there wasn't some exceptional new music this year. Click HERE for my favorite tracks from 2011. I'm hoping that 2012 will pick up the pace, but if not, I'll just further recede into the vintage music that I love so much. I hope you enjoy listening to the mixes as much as I like making them.

december 2011 mix

Dec 27, 2011, 4:10am hearsay
december 2011 mix A great feeling of inferiority after being directed to Bobbylondon 's Hamburger Eyes podcasts was part of what delayed a December Hearsay mix. The other part was the need to spend the few non-working hours I had with procrastinations that are even less productive than the time that I spend putting together mixes for this site. There has been so little released this year that really caught me, it kinda follows that I would put together this collection of 19 temporally thematic songs. In fact, I'm not sure that I can put together a "best [...]

november 2011 mix When Winter hits elsewhere, Fall hits Los Angeles. Little changes, but we occasionally don infrequently worn coats, and complain frequently about the 30° difference in temperature. We fear that it will stay this way, seemingly forgetting that we will likely return to shorts for at least one weekend before Christmas. We yearn for 2 weeks ago with more energy than we dedicate to thinking about 2 weeks from now. Put the future behind us and the past ahead. Stand for nothing, live for me.

october 2011 mix After growing up surrounded by hip-hop, in my late teens I moved to a place where underground hip-hop heads were scarce, and I primarily had to rely on myself to find under-the-radar emcees and producers. Without much in the form of exterior stimulation, I used mixes as a way to listen closer to new musical finds. I made a number of mixes in the tape era, but with the first CD-burner I purchased in '98 or so, hip-hop mixes for myself became routine. They were quickly assembled and provided with no tracklist; simply labeled in numeric order starting with "Mix [...]

august 2011 mix

Aug 8, 2011, 2:19am hearsay
august 2011 mix It's been some time since I've posted on this blog and I am happy that topomodesto gave me the opportunity to put together a mix. In the face of algorithm driven mix generation I hope that there continues to be interest in crafting diverse listening experiences. What may start as a matter of convenience easily translates into common practice. Collecting and orchestrating music samples into coherent ideas may be perfected by professional dj's, but I find my interests don't take root until I search out the connections between songs and artists myself. And this invariably leads [...]

Appetite "Tussy" (Music Video)
Enjoyed this video for Appetite 's "Tussy" via Yvynyl last week. Directed by Sean Stout , whose jumpy editing does a music video perfectly: it's entertaining, fits the song just right, and enhances the experience of listening rather than undercutting it. Do I want to hear more? You betcha. Am I surprised this isn't released by Anticon ? Words can't describe.

Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor. Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you. (It's a summer jam, of sorts.) [ mix cover image by Marcus Claesson ] July 2011 Mix [...]

Black Hills by Gardens & Villa
With such a diverse roster of bands, I don't know how it is that I'm obsessed with virtually every Secretly Canadian / Jagjaguwar release. I guess they just have me pegged. I first noticed Gardens & Villas when their weirdo-funk track, "Orange Blossom" landed on Baltimore-based Pasta Primavera's Winter Chain Mix . It's a fun track, but I'm even more excited to hear this Santa Barbara-based band's debut after hearing and seeing the video for "Black Hills." Gone is the funk "Orange Blossom," and in is a catchy synthesized bassline [...]
