Category: Single ArtistSounds like: a head-on collision between cute and chaotic that spews candy sprinkles, sparklers and limbs.People who write this band off as "too cute" are missing the fact that Deerhoof started as a noise band. Their drummer absolutely kills - he goes apeshit throughout entire songs. They have a lot of material to sift through at this point, so here is a compilation that ...

Category: Indie electronic stuff.Sounds like: The blithe daydreams of a madcap young scientist.A bit late for a last entry in the spring theme, but you can't contain this mix anyway. It's like a lab beaker bubbling over with day-glo disasters concerned only with getting outside and catching some sun. Conceptually it concerns all things spliced: critters, word games, jumbled thoughts. Natural...
Category: Noisey Drone DoomSounds like: More of the noise/drone/doom et al tracks all mashed together. This is the second mix I did in 2006 for a Hipinion Mix Exchange. Again, the title was from a random google search, and the artwork is by John Stezaker. This time around I used arguably too many tracks, and so I honed it down for the third one.Tracklist: (note: only elements and excerpts of mo...
Category: Noisey Drone DoomSounds like: The final compilation of noise/drone/doom et al tracks all mashed together. This is the third mix I did in 2006 for a Hipinion Mix Exchange. The title for this one was from Police Squad, and the artwork as always is by John Stezaker. This one is good, but I think the last ten minutes could have been better.Tracklist: (note: only elements and excerpts of m...
Category: Noisey Drone DoomSounds like: A whole bunch of noise/drone/doom et al tracks all mashed together. Which is exactly what it is. This is the first mix I did in 2006 for a Hipinion Mix Exchange. The title was from a random google search, and the artwork is by John Stezaker.Tracklist: (note: only elements and excerpts of most songs are used. Also this mix plays as one 80 minute mp3.)Khana...
Category: Indie rock and popSounds like: Pop this in when you need a bounce toward that springtime season.This is a pretty straightforward spring-themed mix, with a touch of summer as well. Starts off on the rock side and then shifts in a more pop direction about halfway through (some of my mixes still reflect that old cassette division between sides). A schoolteacher friend said that she put...

Camera Obscura - Fren...
My friend Tariq came along to the studio last night and playedalong to a load of old Frank Zappa records. There was a bit of aglitch with the recording equipment at the beginning of the showso this mix takes off from when I pressed record and the Mini-Discplayer actually worked!This photo was of him arriving at the studio, there are none inexistence of him actually playing in the studio because...

Category: Electronic soul.Sounds like: Reminiscing when it's time to move on.I wanted to do a soul mix of sorts, but with the catch that I'd use only recent electronic artists. After some sifting I patched together the following, which is a bit long but good for late-night bouts with insomnia. Might be a bit lite and coffee haus-ish for some, but with all of the bass-heavy tracks, it sounds g...
