559A Weirdos Having Fun


Yeah, Wonderful Weirdo's day is still a few weeks away, so I'm getting these next few mixes out in your hands so you are well prepared.

Maybe it was all those years listening to Vicki Bennett's "Do or DIY" radio show on WFMU.  Maybe its my disdain for pop music.  Bottom line, I love weird things.  The next several playlists highlight some oddball music that usually defies categorization.   This is the stuff I listen to when no one else is around.

557 Covers



A fun set of cover songs that I'd been enjoying lately.  Was a good trip down memory lane hearing these again as I've had most in my collection for quite a while.  The image here is a quilt, which I have an appreciation for the effort and craftsmanship put into them after spending a lot of time talking with the artists at the recent 4-H exhibit at our county fair.  Side note, my daughter took 1st place in her category at the fair and is now headed to the state fair later this month, exciting times for the Mooz household.

556 Snippits mix 3: the bits between the bits



Here it is, volume 3 of my snippit mixes.  Collecting short tracks (generally 1 minute or less) from albums when I was compiling other mixes and dumped them in a folder to be sorted later.  96 tracks took quite an effort to sort and arrange into somewhat of a musical narrative.  Quirky humor, blasts of cacophony, at times peaceful, and some almost resembling songs.  Vol 1 and Vol 2 still available.

On a different subject that I am passionate about, please consider donating to keep what we love alive.

555A Remember the Big Sun



This is another old set of files I'd been sitting on (was originally mix 194 in my numbering system).  Focused mostly on lo-fi, ambient, fuzzy shoegaze stuff.  I'm sure there's a name for this genre, though it eludes me now.

554 No God, only Doom!



   I read an article years ago on MetalSucks that touted the 25 best doom metal songs.  Naturally I went about trying to source and compile them into a playlist only to find that I didn't really like all the weird avenues and nuances of the doom metal genre.  Sure I like the big names and the easier to digest groups, but most of that playlist wasn't my cup of tea.   So I sat on this for... well pretty much since I started this blog.  This was originally labeled as my mix #66, and here we are up at 554.  

Over those years I took my time and if I came across a track that fit better with the overall feeling I wanted to express with this playlist I'd add it to the folder, and this could no longer be called a doom metal mix.  Months later I'd review and scrap some tracks and resurrect others.  Eventually I just said screw it, close enough, and I filled in the last few holes to make what is available here.  I would love some recommendations for this genre as I know I'm missing some gems.

553 El-P



  El-Producto, aka Jaime Stuart Meline has been an unrelenting force in rap music for three decades.  I remember getting "Funcrusher Plus" when it came out and being instantly hooked, especially the DJ Premiere remix of "8 Steps to Perfection."  El-P's production work is no joke either, Cannibal Ox made me take notice of that.  Throughout the years my favorite of his works were his guest appearances, many of which are included here along with some productions and remixes.  His career was all leading up to Run The Jewels, which is a like a late career megaton bomb.  Amazing and shows he still has a lot of gas left in the tank.
