baby’s cry into…

dip into luv’s stream of consciousness; where music morphs into dialog that gets swallowed by sound, turns into song and weaves a tall tale about everything and nothing. it’s a trip.

Forgive Us If We Laugh A Lot

this mix is unintentionally, unavoidably creepy as it is made up of the weird and wonderful music of The Residents. join their odd collection of characters as they focus on the comical darkside of life amidst unique sonic structures, textures and tunes.

Whither Canada?

for the 100th mix on my site i decided to try something completely different. as a life long Monty Python fan i have always been enthralled by how they segue from one obtuse sketch to the next. here i try to emulate that by using great music, weird spoken word segments and a healthy dose of silly bits. watch The Luv Of Music to witness the creation of this mix.

a mix that starts and ends with Rush’s “2112”, but in between it sounds like the history of rock and pop music has been pulled apart, blended and abstracted into a sonic pulp that has become it’s own trip. the sweet daddy’s dedication to February 1st, 2012 (a.k.a. 2/1/12)
