This one is all over the map.  Tracks left off previous mixes, and a reinvigorated sense of pride in my vinyl collection led me to convert even more to digital.  The rarest of rare Pearl Jam vinyl and an anniversary tour only 7" from the Pink Dots.  Several Earthmonkey tracks, he's a friend and I finally got around to ripping my vinyl to MP3.

449 Vinyl Rips - Mix 1 Dub

The next eight mixes are all my vinyl rips.  Expect all the cracks and pops and nostalgia that comes from this format.  I've not made any effort to EQ or clean up the tracks in post so that this retains all that natural charm as when I play these slices of vinyl at home. 

I buy a lot of vinyl, either albums I love so much I want them in this format or albums/EPs that are rare and scarce on Spotify, YouTube or the blogosphere.  There are several tracks in these collections that have never been re-released on CD or digitally, though most of them have been.  Also, there are a couple tracks from the same album, usually a compilation like BSI Docking Sequence or the Minutemen Tribute "Our Band Could Be Your Life," mostly because those comps are amazing and I couldn't limit myself to just one song.

This first mix focuses on my passion for Dub.

447 Harder Covers

A mix my mother would've enjoyed, or at least told me she did.  Today is her birthday, and it is now eight years since she passed.  She was very supportive of me and my musical endeavors.  I have great memories of her sneaking off to independent record stores to find those really obscure and hard to track down albums I was always searching for.  I shared a good story about her on this mix.  I have tried many times to make a mix just for her, and every time my heart starts to hurt and I cannot finish it.
