Mix #113: "It's Good To Be Back"

- Wow. It's been way too long since I've done this. Missed it so much. A lot of good music has been released and discovered since the last time I made one, so I have a ton of a new material to share with the masses.
- My old band (shoreline drive.) was lucky enough to share the stage with Will Brierly and Rollerhosters a few times. Amazing band.
- Remember the awesome days of playing original Nintendo? Relive the music with The Advantage; a band who covers all old-school video game soundtracks.
- I have to give props to Boston bands through out this blog; big ups to Transit for creating a fantastic pop-punk album in 2011 and Lux, an inspirtation to want to create music at a young age. The link is for his new group, Worry The Worm.
- My infatuation with Bon Iver continues. Great performance with The (Legendary) Roots also featured on this mix.

Hiatus For A (Hopefully) Short Time

- Computer crashed out, so forget what I said before about 'the mixes won't stop.' The mixes will be on hiatus for a little while. I will update as soon as I'm back up and running. Thanks for your patience.

Mix #112: "Error: Restore?"

- Had no other choice the other but to restore my iPod. Although I have all the music from before, it's going to take a little time to organize it and add it back on. But the mixes won't stop.

Mix #111: "Mojo Risin"

- I recently heard about this group from NY called Industries Of The Blind and I have to say, I'm very impressed. They remind me a lot like The Burnish Paris/Eksi Ekso. Rock with a touch of ambient and classical. Actually, it's very hard to classify them, so take a listen for yourself. I added this song for mix tape purposes; it was the shortest one they had.
- Beastie Boys X 2; and a little De La Soul.
- Slug (Atmosphere) & Murs combined bring the humor and excellent rhymes; a choice cut from their (group is called Felt) album, 'Felt: A Tribute To Christina Ricci.'
- Another Monday. (wah wah wah) Enjoy the week and be good to each other.
