Chechnyan Love Album Release - Coming Soon

The  label has confirmed that they will be releasing the full album in November.  It will be available online to download for free.  I'll also be working on a new song for a compilation and a remix of another artists song for a separate compilation, both to be released …

Record Deal

So it looks like I have a record deal wit a small indie label in Germany.  It's nothing big in the world of music, but I'm thrilled.  Just the fact that a label sought me out means a lot.  I'll post more details once everything is confirmed.

Everybody Knows

Everyone should experience Leanard Cohens music.

Metal Heart

This song resides in a sad part of my life having to do with one of my failed attempts at a relationship. Everytime I listen to it I am reminded of things falling apart with a certain someone. For some odd reason though, as the years have gone by, I now find …

Ain't No Sunshine

This is one of my absolute favorites. It's one of those songs where the lyrics are simple and right to the point, yet don't lose any of there impact or seem stereotypical.

The three versions I have:

Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers - Greatest Hits
Ain't No …

Squarepusher

Iambic 5 Poetry is one of those songs that can fit a multitude of different moods. If I'm feeling a bit down or just want to relax with something to help me zone things out, then this is thee song. His other works are great too, but this is one that I can play …

New Wave

I've been on an 80's kick today. Unfortunately, most of my 80's music is on vinyl, and not in my iTunes library.

Walk On

If you like any of these songs, make sure you check out the others.

Walk On By - Isaac Hayes

2 Wicky - Hooverphonic

I Can't Go To Sleep - Wu-Tang Clan

Recline

I used to work at an independent coffee shop where we could play whatever music we wanted. This was an album that I played during the day when things were a bit quieter and more laid back.

The tracks on the disk are:

Homebase - Dzihan & Kamien
Skin On The Drum …

Mix Tapes

I've always been the type of person who enjoys searching out for those golden nuggets of music. One of the best resources has always been other people. Friends, family, strangers you meet at a concert or coffee shop. It seems like every single person out there is …

Martina Topley-Bird

Anyone who is a fan of Tricky should check out Martina Topley-Bird. She has worked on some of his albums (apparently they were married and had a child together), and he has returned the favor on her solo albums. I am not familiar with her first album, Quixotic, so …

Fugazi vs. Destiny's Child

I have a feeling that all of you that "trust" me will soon change your minds after this post. Let it be known, however, that I do actually like Fugazi and some songs by Destiny's Child. That being said, I give you a mash-up by Party Ben of Fugazis' "Waiting Room" …

Coltrane & Jurassic 5

This is a great mash-up of John Coltranes "Mr. Day" and Jurassic 5s "The Influence" by dj BC.

Enjoy.

Hey Ya

I'm sure that this has already made the rounds here, but just in case...
Here is a cover of Outkasts "Hey Ya" by Obadiah Parker.

5 hours of Kraftwerk at work

When I was younger and cooler, I worked as a manager at a record store. We had a 5 disc CD changer and everyone who was working got to pick a CD to play in the store. One day, a coworker managed to convince everyone to give him their pick so that he could play 5 …

Wedding Dinner Music

A close friend of mine is getting married early next year, and has asked me to put together a mix of songs to be played during the wedding dinner. He wants a trip hop sound to the music (which I have a fair amount of) so I gave him a disc with about fifty songs on …

My Identical Twin

Big thanks to Spaceling for finding my long lost twin. If anyone likes my music collection, then they will like his.

The One That Got Away - Part 1

Years ago I was involved with a truely incredible person. She made a set of three mix CDs which musically described each of us as individuals and then the two of us as a couple. The images are the actuall covers that she made. Here is the track listing of the …

The Butchies

If you in the mood for a somewhat aggressive female indie rock band, then I recommend The Butchies. The Butchies Website

Mixmas 06

It's been a long time since I posted anything here. I'd like to say that I've been busy, but I haven't. So, with Christmas nearing, here you are.

My sister made everyone a mix CD for Christmas called Mixmas 06. Here is the track listing:

Winter Wonderland (Bent …
