WatchI meant to upload my Halloween mix from high school today, but instead I watched Misfits and American Horror Story. I’m sorry. But here’s a music video I made for Jeff the Brotherhood’s “Shredder,” which just missed being on this year’s Halloween tape. Sadly, I cannot explain

Wolf Creek Ryder
This mix is about Halloween circa 1979 and why you shouldn’t pick up hitchhikers in Arkansas.
Why It’s Pretentious: This is the first 90-minute tape I’ve made in a long time. Even I think 90-minute tapes are pretentious, but I had to make room for a 9-minute song from a vaguely obscure psych rock band from the 60s, so, y’know, do what you gotta do. It’s inspired by...

Every Good Boy Does Fine #1: The Andy Griffith...
This mix is by I Speak In Tunes and is about whistling, presumably.

So as you can imagine, every morning’s breakfast soundtrack is a little bit like a musical tug-of-war. This...

Crosswords and Coffee
This mix is about getting back to the grind on Monday mornings, coffee, and crossword puzzles.
Why It’s Pretentious: So anyway, if you say nice things to me, I will probably make you a tape. Or at least a mix. This mix is for crosswordsandcoffee, who left me a nice note about my blog last week. YOU SEE, NOW THE THEME MAKES SENSE. Even though I made this over the weekend, I tried to keep it...
