539 Blame your strong blood, how it would break


Some oddball tracks mixed in to keep this spicy in-between some very recognizable tracks. 

I pulled the track title from words from every other track title in this mix... only later search and Google AI indicated that this phrase was used in a Jelly Roll song (my daughter is a fan).  Weird happenstance.

538 Punk Leftovers




Cleaning out my folder of punk songs that have been favorites for many years.
Pre-Soul Asylum in their punk days.  The Meatmen making a Boris the Sprinkler sound like their own.  The Queers back when I used to see them hanging around the scene with the local favorites, The Nobodys.  A young Shane McGowan in the Nipple Erectors, Pre-The Cure in Lockjaw.  Naked Aggression using a Francisco Tarrega Capricho árabe intro, which blew me away as a teen seeing them perform in a friend's living room and recognizing this track as I was a classical guitar instructor at the time.  Title Fight is a new group a friend recommended and I'm really getting into them.  Lots of odds and ends and a wild ride start to finish!

536 Nothing is Happening



The first 100 or so mixes I posted here all had a few tracks omitted, mostly due to length concerns as I try to keep everything around 75 minutes (call me nostalgic, I got stuck in this mindset when I was burning everything on CD-R's back in the day).  Fortunately, I dumped all those extra tracks into a folder and am just now revisiting them.

535 The Patience of a Mushroom



A chill mix of mostly indie folk, and some positivity spread throughout.  Plus a rare classic Pink Floyd song I was only recently made aware of.  Last week I wore a Shelter t-shirt to a meeting with my Sangha, and no one else had heard them yet, so I played this acoustic cover and they all loved it.  Felt only right to follow that with a Plum Village recording.
