vol. 6: summer bummer

Hey y'all. So I'm not really sure why I like sad songs during the summer... maybe it's the heat reminding me that the weather does indeed warrant snotty complaints during, at least, part of the year, even though it doesn't really physically bother me all that much anymore having lived in only Florida and Texas. Or maybe the best memories of good relationships seem to be connected to summer time adventures. Perhaps I just like to feel sad sometimes. I think I need to experience a real winter. Nah  just kidding!

1. Connie Converse - How Sad, How Lovely

vol. 5: Spring Fever

Hey y'all. Been quite a while since I made one of these but I'm loving the hell out of this beautiful central Texas spring weather, so I figured I'd cook up a tasty treat.

If you're in not so toe-tapping spirits, don't worry, the Summer Bummer mix is right around the corner :)

vol. 3: Transformation

For this lil' guy I just went through my LPs and picked some tunes I thought would pleasntly accompany an ~hour drive. The 'main' reason for this compilation though is that I wanted to feature one of the most lush and triumphant jams of all time by Colour Haze titled "Transformation". The warmth of the guitar tone and theme/vision of the song structure is unprecedented imo. Also, if there's anyone out there that hasn't heard the Milk Music LP (2 tracks featured here) you should really pick it up!

TRACKLIST:
 1. Milk Music - No, Nothing, My Shelter
2. Emmylou Harris - Everybody's Talkin'
3. Daughn Gibson - Rain On A Highway
4. Sir Douglas Quintet - And It Didn't Even Bring Me Down
5. Sleepies - Strange Feelings
6. Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - Desert Ceremony
7. Colour Haze - Transformation
8. Milk Music - Coyote Road
9. The Fucking Champs - Spring Break
10. Goat - Let It Bleed
11. Peaking Lights - Midnight (In The Valley of Shadows)
12. Monster Rally - Honey
