a mix that starts and ends with Rush’s “2112”, but in between it sounds like the history of rock and pop music has been pulled apart, blended and abstracted into a sonic pulp that has become it’s own trip. the sweet daddy’s dedication to February 1st, 2012 (a.k.a. 2/1/12)

Pop Rocks 25

odd pop music that was created between 1967 and 2004 at the Sandoz Labs by fusing sugar, lactose, corn syrup, lysergide and pressurized carbon dioxide. it differs from typical pop music in that it creates a fizzy reaction when it dissolves in one’s mind.

Said I Was A Fractious Child

with heart on sleeve i luvingly present a mix of some of the “new” music i was obsessing on in the first 5 years of my musical formation. constant listening to pristine, synth heavy eighties productions and lyrics about the uncertainties that came with the new decade were the genesis of luv.

Can’t Nothing Be Love But Love

at least 50% of all recorded music is about “love”, so when asked to make a mix on this theme i was truly daunted. here’s my attempt to tell a story about “love” with words and music. I hope you love it.
