Last Minute Mix Tape

Sometimes it helps to click the “Publish” button. But then again, when it’s late and you’ve stumbled home after a night of drunk Philosophy with Thesy what feels like a blog post isn’t always a blog post. Plus the “Save Draft” button isn’t anywhere near the “Publish” button on the WordPress back-end…

Quick mix tape today. I’ve got to finish carting my records over to the new pad and then I’m going out for drinks. Check out the silly covers of Hendrix and L. Cohen by The Dicks and Pearls Before Swine respectively.

RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. No theme this week. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
