Beat Beep Butterbumps

I was going to post a pretty far-ranging summer mix earlier this week, but something was missing. It was a little too wide open. Then I realized there’s a common theme in the new music that’s buzzing around in the airwaves this summer. Between Best Coast, Budos Band, the Books, Blundetto, and Big Boi, this [...]

ScissorMix Vol. 4: Sunset Summer Jams

Another holiday weekend means another installment of the ScissorMix series. It’s been pretty crazy for me over the past month (hence the lack of posts) but I had to find the time to put together something for the 4th of July weekend. Because of the general business of the past month, I haven’t had a [...]

ScissorMix Vol. 2: Music to Decorate Eggs to

Just in time for Easter weekend, I’ve resurrected the ScissorMix series. There’s lots of great new music on this one and many of the artists deserve their own posts (Bonobo, Tanlines, Mux Mool, Slugabed…just to name a few). But life/work continues to conspire against me being a competent blogger. So, for brevity’s sake, I’ve bundled [...]

Bastard Jazz Radio LIVE on BrooklynRadio.Net

Apologies on not posting for a while. Been busy with the birth of my newborn son Nicolas. Crazy late nights, unpredictable days, but it’s all amazing and he’s already been exposed to more good music than most adults I know. It’ll probably work out that he shuns all of his “dad’s music” like most kids, [...]

Z-Trip’s Obama Mix

I intentionally tried to stay away from any politics over the course of the last few years — I mean with so many more qualified blogs out there, who am I to get into the mix? But when the political and musical spheres bump heads, I guess it’s a little more appropriate to follow course, [...]
