Don't Change

As we tip toe (no Xmas until the 20th rule BROKEN) gracefully towards the holidaze, toqued and jammied, it is a real Christmas miracle to receive today's mixtape. Seriously, on par with the immaculate birth of the world's most famous bearded dude.

Who? ME!
NO! Not you, Mcshane! Jesus!


ME!

NO! Not you fake Bunyan! Mcshane had a better chance! JESUS!


We sent Schimmer's new mixtape to @JesusHChrist, and this is the picture he emailed back.

The Winnipeg born, Montreal heeled, Charlotte NC based Schimmer is always on the list of Grilling It's favourite Djs. Schimmer is a disc jockey with a mandate to make you hand shake. That is to say, he plays feel good music for people to love themselves. It is for breeding not for brooding. His usual milieu is fresh re-contextualization and funk vacations through house, boogie, breaks, and raps that are as good for long haul road trips as they are for dancehall aerobics.

Much like the man himself: funky, upbeat, and full of heat.

Shake hands with yourself as you bask in the warm love of Schimmer.

Rap your presents.

Santa came down the Internet and went straight to the fridge. Gathering up all the beers, billowing smoke, he spoke with the wisdom of his years: "they're for my reindeer."

Internet Music is a fountain of nostalgia. Put both hands and ears in this spray of classics and driiiiiink. Jams fromt he 1990's that will sound good until your nineties.

Get The Sadness

Dj Eleven made a piece for all of us who spend wintertime, squinting at swans through rising fog, hating transit purgatory, soaking up sunsets or kicking logs on crackling fires (or tripping out to Hendrix posters in dorm/hospital/bedrooms). It's one of those mixes that doesn't work too hard for your attention, yet you wind up saying "ohhhh yeah..." and "woooo" while listening.

It's brought to us by Krudmart.

Because I have to...I...Can't...Stop...Myself...

Vantasy Isle Brain Bubble

It's misting lightly, I'm chilling out in an old record store in the Pacific Northwest, wearing a thick flannel shirt and a beard - listening to Nirvana (and I like to sings along, and I like to shoot my gun, but I don't know what it means.) When I was twelve, this was a dream of mine, but adolescent caucasians can't grow beards.

I recently remembered how beautiful this song is and want to share it with you.

NIRVANA - Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam

I'm not going to get sentimental, I swear, but I remember all the elements of where I was when Kurt Cobain blew his head off (wipes nose on sleeve, "Lithium" comes on, smiles, prepares to headbang). Sentiment is so early 2000's.


(so that's how they got that "Seattle" sound)

Teen1: Oh, here comes that cannonball guy. He's cool.
Teen2: Are you being sarcastic, dude?
Teen1: I don't even know anymore.

Here's the Breeder's "Cannonball" video. Maybe the best video ever, or like, you know, whatever.



One final thing, the link is fixed for the Nick Catchdubs and Mr. Ducker 90's mixtape. So seriously, go in, one of the best start to finish listens of 2008...and it has movie clips mixed in...

Nick Catchdubs and Mr. Ducker - Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

I'm gonna get back to living like this:



PS:

Apparently you can stream the entire Homerpalooza episode. We live in the future:





Ok, peace, I'm off to possibly book the London Symphony Orchestra.

Sunthing Special

This summer the world's brightest Dj's have been breeding mixtapes like rabbits. It's caused a diversion in our usual course of weathered standards, dance music you can play for mom and raps for life.

This just in:



That's right! Dancing songs, car joints, club a/c, cancon, new songs all mixed together by Sammy Bananas. The Sammy Bananas, Sprang maker, New Englander, vivacious dude and smoove operationalist.

Corona - Rhythm of the Night
Sammy Bananas - Ooh Bop

CHROMEO - Tenderoni (Sammy Bananas Pump This Party Remix)

SAMMY BANANAS - All The Girls



Sam is also a member of Miss Fairchild. A band who made a mixtape that I still listen to all the time. If there ever was a record for the summer, this is it. They are awesome guys, mad talented and on the rise. Get in now, so in due course, when they're having video game characters designed in their likeness you can say to your kids "Yo, but do you have the mixtape? The one where Daddy Wrall raps with Keb Mo. the one with Peg on it. You know, the one with Cee Lo, Bonnie Raitt, Common Sense and The Doobie Brothers. You got that?" See how nice they are:

Dear Whoever you are,

"We love you. Please except this gift as a token of that love. It’s called Miss Fairchild Presents the Miss Fairchild Mixtape and is a collection of some of our favorite music blended by your favorite dj, Samuel P. Nice."


THE MISS FAIRCHILD MIXTAPE



After a week of actual re-winter, the sun shines on the island again. I'm playing this and waiting to see you.



Fun fact, my uncle Bill used to call me "Jasey and the Sunshine Band"

See ya!

The Devlin, You Know

Chris Devlin has made a new mixtape. With an emphasis on mixing.

Mixing culture, technology, jams, language, jokes, media, formats, you up, me up, we up.

Mr Devlin is a Dj for Spank Rock, but don't risk putting any of the BBC/Fully Fitted collective into the Pitchfork Haystack.

Hey, I read Pitchfork, every day, but...not every day somebody makes a mixtape like this.

CHRIS DEVLIN - We Make It Good

It is a trip, and I know how the readers of this blog like trips. So, get on board with Devlin, it's first class (breakfast included in price of ticket).

Snap your seatbelts. Flip your tables. Pretend to turn your walkman off, but then slip it under your blanket, the air hostess will not know and they do not interfere with the navigation system.

Extinguish all smoking items.



As a special bonus here's Chris Devlin's edit of Lady Bug.

BUMBLEBEE UNLIMITED - Lady Bug (Devlin Edit)

I scoured the internet to find a human lady in a lady bug costume that was as hot as I imagine the protagonist of the above song to be. All I got were trashy or fuzzy S&M numbers like this:



So, lets settle on the following image and move on. After all, I have to pick up the ribs and pizza, get to Grandma's house and watch the hockey. East coast evening hockey games start at 2:24 PM yesterday Pacific Time, so I gotta keep these shifts short.



Oh, wait, there she is...hi miss...would you like a Nectar and Tonic? They call me Big Bee Q



Seriously, still not as hot as Ladybug from the song (I pictured black hair), but you wouldn't kick her out of your honeycomb for eating leaves in bed.

Note to the manufacturer's of Ladybug Lure. It works. I hope they hustle a lot of the stuff.

FULLY FITTED - 100 Million

PENS!

BBQ

Yes, Way

Two mixtapes in one day.

The second is from Caps & Jones. They've already made some of the best mixtapes ever, and now have released a Summer BBQ mix for Krudmart.

It includes my favourite Rush, Joe Walsh, The Clash and Tom Petty songs. For real.

Great taste.

THE ILLEGIBLE DJ CAPS & PANDEMONIUM JONES - BACKYARD BBQ MIX FOR KRUDMART

This is me, when I get home tonight, and am BBQing, MP3's jacked into the boombox.



Well, maybe first I'll listen to it while I go for a jog. After all, BBQ gets its special flavour from burning fat.

Running? Then the burning? Then the drinking?

Gettin grown = Finding a new balance

Enough blog, I've got a mix to listen to.

CHOW

BBQ

Co-operation From Computers

Picture a futuristic world where artists, who although visionary, true and real, that aren't normally Dj'ed into mixtapes...suddenly...were...

Wouldn't that be great?

On this fabled mixtape, many artists featured are the sort that you would've previously been ridiculed for not owning, when you sheepishly asked in a record store. In this future, they will be given to you, in December, by an expert through a computer:
