Away With Meredith

(Away With Meredith, July 2008)

Download me.

A couple of years ago I ran into a troublesome girl with no direction. She asked me for help, and so I helped, and after that she still needed help so I gave some more. Eventfully she was leaving this place, and asked once more for some more help, and well, this is exactly what that help sounds like.

For an adventure in a new place, full of new things and whatnots, fancies and failures, and otherwise, this is your mixtape.

There's Sea and Cake, Donna Regina, Ambulance Ltd., Devendra Banhart, Husky Rescue, Jon Brion, Beth Orton, Bon Iver, Andrew Bird, and a few more.

You want it. I got it. You say you want something that will get your body going. You say what has been done is too mellow, you think I'm too mellow. Well, here's something that will get you on your feet, with stirring butts and shaking heads. Something fully loaded, 80+ minute mix filled with the likes of m83, Fila Brazillia, TV on the Radio, The Chemical Brothers, Aphex, and a bunch of others.

The essential concept of this album is to put this sucker in, and just let it autoplay as your dj for birthday parties, barmitzahs, weddings, and sporting events.

Nothing Is

Download Mixtape?

Dear visitor, passerby, stumble-a-crosser, these mixtapes are dear to me, and hold a certain time together. Each mix ties me to a time in my life, and the people and sounds resurface upon each listening, for I have attached someone to each mix in dedication to them. This one, however is attached to no one in particular, and remains one of the hardest mixes to make for me, not in terms of skills or finding music, but just getting the right songs to create a certain atmosphere, and to give you a feeling like you're on some journey for the next 80 minutes.

Nothing Is features Beth Orton, Blue States, Boards of Canada, Get Well Soon, Goldfrapp, Ned Collette, Ohbijou, Red House Painters, Ruby Throat, Stereolab, Taken by Trees, just to name a few.

There isn't anything intense going on in life, so there are no intense emotions stirring around, all I have is my inspiration from distant memories, and a pocket full of new encounters.

Download the Mixtape!

You'll get Patrick Watson, Fruit Bats, Micah P. Hinson, Grizzly Bear, Felice Bros, and much more with this mixtape.

Perhaps I should use this opportunity to give you insight to each mixtape, this one marks a return; a return to place I left for six weeks, a place that was refreshed and busy with activity, a place far different from where I had been (my little escape I call maui). This mixtape marks a renewal and refreshment of spirits and of adventure into what felt like a new life.

I hope you enjoy it.

And in other news, the newest mixtape is 1/3 mixed, and I almost have the entire track list considered so just be patient with me, it will be well worth the wait.

A Winter's Heart

Another for this cold and miserable season, another from a time passed. With plenty of Elliott Smith, Radiohead, Patrick Watson, Micah P. Hinson, and more, and did I mention covers too, yes, there's covers of some dear and beautiful songs that also exist alongside with their originators.

For an easy-going time, whether you feel like being lonely or in the company of someone special this winter.

For The Dead Days of Winter

(December 2006)

Download Mixtape

This time around I'm going even further back to year 2006. This mix is part of a series of trip-hop and the like, tapes (cds) I made while working on my own music for the genre.

For a relaxing time, whether that is riding on a train, or walking on a snowy day, or even for going to sleep, I recommend this pup for all of the above, and for you to create new scenarios with.

Enjoy.

When You're Here

Download: When You're Here

Something more mellower, something more fuller in atmosphere, it's a real good one to dim the lights, light some candles, have a p.y.t.* over, and just look in each other's eyes for a long time. This puppy goes from electro-rock to dream pop to folk, all sorts of reverb, and echoes. ...this baby is one of my favorites, and it takes me to a good place every time, and now it's time to take you away on somewhere nice (just make sure to bring a p.y.t.).

Let's Get This Party Started.

Hello. This is new, this place, that is, and it is the home of my many mixtapes I've made for others, sometimes for individuals and sometimes for a bunch of others, but now in this context, for anyone, friends or strangers. I will avoid going on how much I put into each mix, but will explain, there are many influences for my mixtapes, and they're usually the people I encounter.

This week I wanted to start with latest.
