Friday Mix Tape: Another Disjointed Seven

My non-outsourced Mix Tape posts make me sad…and a little hungry, and partially tired, and dangerously randy. You see, somewhere along the way I completely lost the ability to produce creatively themed and cleverly segued downloads.

In college, back in the days when we still listened to actual tapes, I’d put all kinds of love into my products. One effort, the Redrum Grammar Mix, contained only proper nouns on Side A, and every song swept brilliantly into the next. One example: The end of MMW’s Bubblehouse led right into the opening beats of Black Oak Arkansas’ Jim Dandy (and in true Pavlovian style, it’s a segue I expect every time I hear the MMW tune). But these days I’m all hodgepodge, and for that, I can only hope you’re enjoying the tunes and ignoring the lack of cohesion.

So here are another themeless seven for your Friday listening pleasure; no tie that binds, but I still think you’ll love ’em. And if not, go fuck yourself.

Back To Memphis: The Band — Watkins Glen, NY (7/28/73)
Laying Pipe: Pornosonic — Unreleased ’70s Porno Music
Sivad: Miles Davis’ electric shit — The Columbia Years
Blue Rondo a la Turk: Dave Brubeck Quartet — Time Out
