"Summertime lovin'--Lovin' in the summer (time)"

With the exception of a tape I'm working on now, the last mix that I made was May 17th of this year. After being put together, it was shipped off to a friend in California? Arizona? Alaska? I can't remember who got it. I didn't even keep a track listing for it after each side was converted to mp3 and forgotten. I found a scan of the artwork, this morning, and just sat through Side A & B mp3s while doing homework. So here's the forgotten mixtape that was meant to be this summer's soundtrack:

"Zing - Boom!"

A scan of the infamous cursed mixtape of crushes made in spring of 2004.

Ketchup and Rubber Buns

Sorry about the hiatus. Unfortunately, I didn't get to make too many mix tapes this summer. Real life tends to get in the way. However, I was given a couple tapes over the break. My pal & partner in the analog revolution, Kisston, made me a tape for my birthday called, "I'M NOT DRUNK!"

Pretty dern thoughtful.

Pen pal, Brian Polk, sent me a really bad ass tape.

"THIS TAPE HAS BEEN MIXED"

10% off Oriental rug cleaning!

Spring downloads!

This tape is now available for download! A small zip file with two audio tracks, side A & B. Just click here!

"Those Worshippers of Zen & Sin"

Had a nice long barstool argument at the nearest tavern, the other night. It was "Neighborhood Joe" and I going on about about digital vs analog. Eventually, I managed to convince him to let me compose a mix tape for him and we swapped info. This is what I've created, for ol' Neighborhood Joe:






And this tape is available for download! Zip file is here!

"Better The Devils You Know..."

It's spring time in the garage....



As legend goes, there was a cursed mix tape made in the spring of 2004. A fantastic tape of punk rock love songs that heightened real life crush experiences. Unfortunately, it also brought heart break to those that rocked-thefuck-out to it. That tape is long gone but today I decided to create another to take it's place. Hopefully it only brings positive results for the listener.







I'm offering copies of this tape for trade with personalized artwork on each. If yer interested, just holler at me!

"Black History Month 2012"

This is a February tape, I just didn't get to scanning it until today. Kisston gave this to me last weekend in honor of Black History Month. Also! Check out one of her blogs at: http://obsessedwithmixtapes.blogspot.com/
Kisston made 31 mix tapes in 31 days! Holy diver!

"The Fire Of Love Is Burning Me"

100 Minutes of mostly The World/Inferno Friendship Society.

"The Real Thing"

Marcia (from The Sound of Poison zine) and I have been mailing one another fun packages back and forth for awhile now. I made her this anti-vd tape and sent it along with a copy of my own zine. I'll have a track listing posted, later on.

"Same old Circus...Just Different Clowns"

To hold up my end of the trade with Brian Polk, I constructed a pretty nifty mix tape.







I also sent him a copy of my latest zine, The Greasy Spoon's Weirdo Du Jour! Interested in obtaining a copy for yourself? Interested in making a mix tape trade? Contact me, friends!

"I made a trade and all I got was...THIS TAPE!"

I received a mix tape from Brian Polk of the zine, Yellow Rake! It's kind of the best thing ever.



He even sent me the latest issue!
Thanks Brian, I'll be finishing up the tape I'm making for you, soon!
