The Old New Thing
As I promised earlier, I plan on releasing new mixes quarterly. I just finished a new one called The Old New Thing. The concept is based around so many “new” bands I’m hearing these days that pull some heavy influences from old bands. So, I paired one new song with one old and at least attempted to make things flow naturally. I ended up with a collection of songs that is all over the map from the Vince Guaraldi Trio to American Steel to The Bangles. Believe it or not, I enjoy everything on here quite a bit and I hope you do to! I’d like to especially call out the track from Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground though. I received their new record on vinyl from Virgil this week and everything from the artwork to the vinyl color to the music is all amazing. I can’t recommend this record enough.
