This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
"Boxing, the training part, not necessarily the fighting part, I don't know anything about the fighting part, is incredibly profound. A wonderful surprise for the nervous system!"
“A charmingly dark slice of post-ambient pop. Pat Moon strikes a chord with your soul from the first tracks; "Feel You", "Show Me A Sign", and final song, "Enter My Mind" being the strongest songs. This record takes me to a dreamy little island on a crisp morning as the sun is about to rise.”
“The internal dialogue of a drunk Leonard Cohen album, restless and pacing around the basement in the early hours of the morning, unable to shake that moment from earlier in the night when a friend lit a cigarette & said, “You don’t have to always be so intense, dude. Take a chill pill.”
“If you are a fan of dirty and raw punk n‘ roll, the stuff that sounds like it has just been freshly scraped off the floor of a garage, you'd be hard pressed to find a better album from 2012 than this one.”
“Running off with big bags of nostrum groceries, I accept the bitter handmade medicine, sweetened by the most interesting mixes I've ever heard, diligently laboring to peel every layer of each rich soundscape's tapestry.”
Every year I do a ‘20X Current Year’ Spotify playlist at the end of the year, but since 20X18 = 360 I figured I better come up with some more manageable math for those who like their end of year headphone sampling to be a little more condensed. So here is SIDE A of the 2X18 mix tapes.
“Were airports really this zen back in the 70s? Every time I fly it feels more like Alabama's “I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why)” is stuck on loop.”
EPISODE 075 kicks off with Ugly Cassanova (and yes, there is a perfect explanation for why it sounds like Modest Mouse), and before things close out with a new song from Califone, you'll hear some great tunes from The Cave Singers, Bert Jansch, Lowpines, and a bunch more good stuff.

“When Napster was a thing, I used it to collect these songs on my parent's computer. I played them loud and flung myself around the basement until dinner was ready. I can't claim to have been a part of a community that listened to this music in a group setting, so I guess thats what I want to do now…”
