All the Windows are Glowing with Summer’s Slight Return
This mix was designed to be played while driving south, towards the coast, with the windows down – even in winter – and has been road tested as such. I decided to put together all my favourite up-tempo feel-good songs of the year, blend in some jammin’ oldies, and then cut and reshuffle for months until all that’s left is as tight as an exclamation. The homemade CD case (pictured) is meant to reflect the absurd level of effort involved. This one has been three and a half months in the making! Hope you like it. Continue Reading »

admin on Jun 25th 2009

There is a loose conceptual theme and it all blends together to fit neatly on a blank CD. Because it has been so long since my last mix (hence the presence of a few older songs), I thought I’d go all out and package it in a handmade sleeve with a tracklist invitation. Hope you give it a try… Continue Reading »
