retro soul summer

In Music on 12 August 2008 with 1 comment

When LizBurr made her muxtape this morning I thought, “Why haven’t I made a themed mixtape” outside of my usual run of the mill these-are-summers-songs-I’m-jamming-to. (Which I made sans links almost exactly a year ago.)
My second inspiration was the Captain’s Crate Retro Soul Summer post a while back. That being said I obviously can’t take […]

I still remember the day I first downloaded Emiliana Torrini’s Fisherman’s Woman last year all the way down to the exact outfit I was wearing. I was staying with my friend in Bushwick at the time (during my two months of couch surfing) and had taken the day off. Instead of working I’d spent the […]

This week’s edition of The Exchange bands together songs from our cohort’s respective hometowns. Or home-metropolitan areas. Or at least their home-states, I would hope. Please listen to it on Muxtape, or download it for your archives through Rapidshare.

Jen | Hip-Hop - Dead Prez
Panama | Kryptonite (I’m On It) - Purple Ribbon All-Stars
BK | Lifted […]

yukimi nagano is my black hole of sound

In Music on 6 August 2008 with 2 comments

Every summer there is that one song by a female vocalist that I want to put on repeat and listen to till the sun comes up. Usually songs I sort of stumble on by happenstance at live shows, soundtracks to films or shows I love and friendly recommendations.
Near the end of May papa blazey […]

James Brown - Think BK

I’m not usually a musical bully. I don’t usually say, hey listen to my music because its so fantabulous that it’ll blow you’re mind. Usually musical experiences are so objective anyway, what one person loves because they listened to it while slow dancing at prom another person will inadvertently hate. (And really can’t we […]

We’re late.
Summertime was the perfect theme because that’s what happened to all of us: we got caught up in a little too much summer fun and dropped the ball (Liz tried to no avail reigning it back in.)
But…as I say better late than never. Round 4 of the exchange. Well worth the wait.

George | Summertime […]

exchange.003 touch

In Music, exchange on 27 June 2008 with 2 comments

Lets get nasty people.
The exchange is back once again, and I’m late on my posting due to my health. This weeks theme: touch. Our freakiest freak nasty songs. Or as Liz says, songs that make you want to reach out and touch that special someone. Obviously some of us are, ahem, a little more […]
