snapshot of north Jersey 1991
It’s cool I found all those tapes, but really what I’m excited about is a lot of mixes that friends made me for me, and that I really thought were gone. Especially this one, 1991, from one of my best high school friends, Dave, from when I was starting college:
I dreamed I found my old tapes from high school &...
…and it turned out I wasn’t even dreaming.
I had no idea these still existed. A lot of them I carted with me to Seattle in 1995, and I guess I forgot I sent them back to my parents’ place when I moved back in 2000.

Rid of Marianne!
Here’s a mix I made for my friend/enemy Marianne Ways! It’s for her, but you can download here if you want to!
Marianne is a Karaoke Queen, and she likes to sing. I made her a mix with songs that I think she’ll like, but that I also like. I went for interesting vocals (or just “fun to sing”), a lot of women, and also chose songs about hate (because I HATE...

MORE NOISE PLEASE! September 2010 Mix
Download September 2010 mix here.
I’ve been working on this mix since the beginning of this month & I’ve changed it a million times and now I’m just sick of it, really. This whole month has been a blur; I hate that summer is over but there’s nothing I can do. Just Deal With It, I guess. Time To Grow Up.
Anyway, I don’t know how noticeable they are, but...

Good scream.
I’m putting together a compilation of Good Scream songs, inspired by DePalma’s Blow Out (not to be confused with Not DePalma’s Blow Dry).
It’s as good a time as ever to get to work on this because, check out what’s playing at IFC Center this weekend.
So far I’ve only got a few songs: (in no particular order)
“Child In Time” - Deep Purple- Colin...
