Wow, been forever since I posted here. I probably won't be posting more mix CDs since I now have a weekly internet radio show! You can listen here (live Mondays at 7PM ET), or subscribe to the podcast: http://editsradio.org/ Would love feedback/requests!

Well, it's been a while since I posted anything here…

I found myself in Florida this week, visiting my family and driving my old car which they took down there with them. I had loaded up my Sansa with music, but the car only had a CD player. So… here is a CD-sized mix. As tomorrow is the first day of summer, the theme is "Summer Jams". Nothing hip and obscure, just my favorites from the past year or so (ok, back to March '09 in one case) for a hot and beautiful day.

This was a quickie: three drafts,…

Here's a mix I made on a challenge from tastyanagram: songs from 1996. Not just *from* 1996, but that really make me think of then. I made myself a CD with a few of these edited down and gave my brother a longer cassette version. Finished it earlier, but was just re-indexing and burning my own re-edited copy today.

Everything But the Girl - Walking Wounded (Spring Heel Jack dub / hard vocal mix / main vocal mix)
Rachel's - All is Calm
Underworld - To Dream of Love
Oval - The Politics of Digital Audio
LFO - Tied…

"Hey fellas! I'm talkin' to you, you, and you too. You guys know who I'm talkin' to. Those of you who go out and stay out all night and have the nerve to expect us to be home when you get there. But let me tell you somethin'! The sisters are not going for that no more. 'Cause we realize two things: that you ain't doing anything for us that we can't better do ourselves. So from now on, we're gonna use what we got, to get what we want! Sooooo… you better think!"

(about it.)

My emo percentage, apparently.

Just wait, someone else will spam your recommendations box with instructions. I won't.

I wrote this in my LJ but then I figured may I should have just put it here. So I'll crosspost.

This is so painfully true. The -9dBFS figure is exactly what I get every time I remaster things for a mix. I could go to -12, but I'd be pushing everything down instead of half down and half up, and it would make the previously-too-hot tracks sound that much more obviously distorted, and the previously-decent ones still stick out as sounding "odd". Sigh. Ugly compromises. Next time I'm going to try to push the envelope (ha ha).

You always…

We've finally been having some warm, it's-really-nice-out days around here. Broken Social Scene is such a spring album. I have no idea why they released it in October. But I still love it.

I can't wait until it gets hot enough to rinse out Musique Concrete again. (Whyever is Calibre not in the database correctly?)

A theory:

John B and Ed DMX are actually the same person. Discuss.

TRAVESTY!

That is all.
