Episode 85 - Dark Electronica

A darker/noisier themed mix, while still very accessible.  The Bomb the Bass track would be right at home on any Meat Beat 90's era album.  This Scorn track is probably my favorite from their early period, making excellent use of a Residents' Vileness Fats sample.  Elvis Costello?  Sure, I think it fits the vibe all too well. The residents doing what they do best, I wish they'd played this when I saw them love, but they did "Six More Miles to the Graveyard" which was quite a pleasure.  Next up is some tape loop madness courtesy of Severed Heads, which I was lucky enough to pick up in the dollar bin at a local record store - they didn't know what they had, such as the other 1$ purchase of the VG+ original pressing of 20 Jazz Funk Greats.  Moving along in the mix to some more modern laptoptronica, noise rock, industrial classic, and a darker piece from On-U family. Ending with my favorite of the V/VM relations making a classic into nearly intolerable noise.

Episode 81 - Paul's Influence

Back in the early 90's I had a good friend named Paul.  He and I would spend hours challenging each other with music that we found unique and trying to find stuff the other one had not heard yet.  This mix compiles many of these songs that even to this day I cannot hear without thinking of him and those days in his basement, smoking his parent's Kool cigarettes and stealing beers from the fridge hoping no one would notice.  Sure, the genres are all over the map, but that's how we liked it back then. Most of these are from the days before songs were heavily compressed and mastered to be very loud, so expect some drops and peaks in the mix.

Episode 80 - Piano Magic pt1 Rockers

They have so many great songs, I had to split this up into two parts.  This one focuses on their more rock stuff, the other is their electronic/dreamy work.   I tried to not duplicate the songs I had previously shared, but some were just so good I had to include them here a second time.
