Vol. 16 - the Blues (Up and Down Disks)

Oh, man. These are good. If you like the blues, this is a gold mine. If you don’t, you soon will. I organized it by “Up Disks” and “Down Disks”. Listen to the Down Disks when your woman (or man) leaves you and listen to the Up Disks when they come back (or vice versa depending on the status of the relationship). Surprisingly enough for blues music, I found it harder to find Down Disk songs than Up Disk songs which taught me that the blues are more inspirational than they are sad. Go figure.

Vol. 15 - The History of Rap and Hip Hop

Another mix that was a-long-time-coming. This is a large subject to cover (this was originally supposed to be one disk, not four) and I know I’ve left off a lot of good artists so consider this a snapshot of the rappers that have inspired me. Somewhat arranged by the era of rap at the time, I think this gives a good chronology of the genre from Grandmaster Flash and Run DMC to Jurassic 5 and Outkast. Giddy up.

The first (and so far only) of my “ (band name here) according to flip” series. What better band to start with than The Beatles? Hopefully you’ll find some over-played classics as well as some more obscure gems.

PS. Did you know you can fit every Beatles album on one CDR in mp3 format? This is possible only when 90% of your songs are 2.5 minutes or less.

12 - Ball of Confusion - Widespread Panic

Vol. 5 - 5 Alive

This was the last of the Chicago-era mixes and was a funky closure to my 3-year stint in the Windy City (adios, CA!). For the record, I think the beverage known as “5 alive” sucks (it’s just glorified Tang).

Vol. 4 - The Tender Trap

This one was my first sappy lover’s mix (besides the aforementioned junior-high-unrequited-love-cassettes-of-yore). I gave this to my wife when we first started dating and POOF!...now I’m married.

Vol. 3 - 2001

I heard the Venture’s “Thus Sprach Zarathustra” (aka 2001) on NPR during those delightful musical interludes between segments and basically created this mix so I could put this song “out there”. Every other song is merely incidental.
