i should be floating, originally uploaded by third uncle.

have i been listening to weirdly funky music because i’m in a weird funk of sorts myself? are you feeling weirdly funky? well then, listen to this. a mix to slightly disrupt your balance. mostly off kilter. sometimes hazy. always uplifting.

ps…if you’re having problems with importing these mixes to itunes you can change the extension from .mp3 to .m4a and it should work. i’ll figure out how to avoid this in the future.

there are few things in life that i enjoy more than bicycling. the moment i hop on the saddle i feel like a kid again, gliding through this beautiful city and bombing its steep hills. it’s an exhilarating feeling and the closest i imagine to flight that i can get while still connected firmly to the ground. sweet freedom. i’ve put together a short mix of songs inspired by bicycles or, at the very least, that mention one – whether it be taking a bike ride to the moon or being the only one on a bicycle built for two. it’s about thirty minutes long, just enough time for a cruise to the beach, or wherever your ride takes you.

welcome. here is the first of many mixtapes i’m going to post on this here site. i made this mix a few months ago with the intention of rediscovering some records i hadn’t pulled off the shelves in some time and getting acquainted with a few new  albums. i liked the group of songs so much that i wanted to set up a new site dedicated to mixes and possibly some sound collages, which is what i did and why you’re here. hopefully you’ll visit again for more. i’ve got a few ideas for the the future.
