What I've Been Listening To

What I’ve Been Listening To: V.1, P.22 - Cassette, Count RockuLA

I’m heading down to NY this weekend because a couple friends of mine are flying out from LA to DJ. Count RockuLA and Cassette will be in the city for four nights, Saturday through Tuesday. So, instead of highlighting what I have been listening to I figured I would feature what I will be listening […]

What I’ve Been Listening To: V.1, P.21

Another week without muxtape, another chance to try something different. This week 8tracks is coming to the rescue. They rolled out a bunch of new features this week including the ability to embed mixes on third party sites, editing uploads, and listening while browsing.
Eliot Van Buskirk of Wired’s Listening Post recently interviewed the founder of […]

What I’ve Been Listening To: V.1, P.20

As you may know, Muxtape is down. I’ve done my best to scour the internet and find something of interest from each of the albums I’ve been listening to. I’ll provide you with a list of the artists and albums first.
The full helping of scattered media is after the jump.

Guatemala City - Yolanda, Yolanda
Atlas Sound […]

What I’ve Been Listening To: V.1, P.18

Three sets of music have been dominating my time.
First, Billy’s introductory Dylan mix. Although I’m not new to Dylan, I had never heard Dylan’s poem to Woodie Guthrie. Also, Billy’s song selection is dead on so it’s a solid mix regardless of one’s familiarity with Bob Dylan.
Second, Chairlift’s self-titled debut. It’s a great blend of […]

— Two tracks by The Replacements caught my eye this week - Love You Till Friday and Shutup. And although they’re technically about different subjects - Love You Till Friday being about loving and leaving someone after getting your kicks and Shutup being about people who kiss the band’s ass - their attitudes are complimentary.

The mix for this week is a pretty stark departure from the usual look back at music pre 1990. Other than two and a half mountain goats songs (1.5 of which are covers) and Liz Phair’s Fuck and Run the mix is dominated by music from yet to be released albums. Okay, All The Mines […]

The Mountain Goats Live::Bottom Of The Hill, 10.23.02 (WIBLT: V.1, P. 15)

For this week’s “What I’ve Been Listening To” I’m going to forgo the smattering of singles and random tunes in favor of highlighting a stunning Mountain Goats set that I’ve had on repeat the last couple days. The set was recorded by Chris Bellew at Bottom Of The Hill in San Fransisco, Caifornia on October […]

What I’ve Been Listening To: V. 1, P. 14

Given my current work schedule I’m listening to music for around six out of the eight hour work day plus whatever I listen to when I get home. So, I’m listening to quite a bit more than I’m posting on my weekly muxtape these days. Therefore, I’ve decided to confine it artists that have piqued […]

What I’ve Been Listening To: V. 1, P. 13

A quick mix today for a couple reasons: (1) It’s the 4th (of July) (2) I’m without my external hard drive so I can’t upload a lot of what I’ve been listening to.
A few notes: the Beatles’ Yer Blues is from the Esher Demos. Dylan’s Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues is from the complete NYC […]
