A Dark Cloud Full Of Rain

To celebrate that autumn has (more or less) started to arrive where I’m at, I decided to make a mix. It’s pretty mellow yet slightly dark at times, but there’s a bit of sunshine in there as well. Tracklist is as follows: Eux Autres – “Rosehill” Laetitia Sadier – “Long Legs” Fever Ray – “Mercy
The Worst Mixtape To Ever Exist

This morning I came across a great mixtape of Japanese and Korean music made by a girl called Rinkymoon over at LiveJournal. She kindly gave me permission to re-post it here which I’m very happy about because this mix (despite its title) is cracking. It’s mostly indie, shoegaze and post-rock, so if you’re into that
Basement Mixtape
about 1 year ago - No comments
I’ve accumulated a lot of CDs over the years. A rather large portion of them have been in the basement for some time, either because I didn’t listen to them anymore or just didn’t want them cluttering up the apartment. But neither of those reasons mean I don’t like them (although some I might consider
Soundtrack For The Modern Teenage Brat

This is a mixtape I made sometime last year. It’s rather (er, very) silly but it was fun to make. I’d all forgotten about it but was reminded when I realized that my oldest niece is already a young teenager. Not that she’s a brat! Well maybe sometimes… [Download Full Mix] ~ The Coathangers –
Swedish National Day Mixtape ’09
about 1 year ago - 3 comments
Today is Sweden’s National Day, which I will not be celebrating by watching the royal family wave at their minions on TV. No, listening music is much better, hence this mixtape of Swedish music, obscure as well-known. That, and eating strawberries with ice cream. Enjoy! ~Tracklist~ 01. Lacrosse – “We Are Kids” 02.

Cassette Tape Days

I got a sudden urge to throw together a cheesy 80s mix of songs I used to listen to as a kid on my Walkman, much like the one Kim Wilde is sporting in the picture. Consider yourself warned though: I was mainly into pop music alá Madonna back then; The Smiths and the like didn’t enter my
Crimes Of Passion – A Valentine’s Mix
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
Valentine’s Day is coming this weekend, Saturday to be exact. I told myself that I wasn’t going to do a mix but then I got bored and – voila! It’s a rather mellow yet experimental and perhaps, at times, a bit depressing blend of songs… you get the picture. Basically a little something for everyone depending on

[Image via PostSecret] I think this is a really cute idea. In the past I’ve considered giving out anonymous postcards and letters to strangers as a surprise but this is even better. Too bad I’m paranoid about getting caught. Don’t want some grumpy old man wondering why you have your fingers down his mail slot. OK, that
