I’m in West Sacramento, hanging out at my brother’s house. Procrastination is underway. I’ve sat down to do a little work. Instead, I’m posting. But it’s high time I did so anwyay.<\/p>\n
So here’s the tracklist for my contribution to Amoeba’s CD club. Eleven of us formed the club a few months ago. The idea is that every two weeks, one of us puts together a mix disc of stuff we like, stuff we’re listening to, stuff we want to share and then we make copies for everyone else. Of course, feeling like the musical idiot of the group, I agonize for days over my tracklist. Then I finally say, “to hell with it” and throw this together. More important to me than the content is the overall flow of the disc and the actual mixing (which I accomplish using SoundForge 6.0.) Check it:<\/p>\n

Some of the cuts I’ve only heard once when I consider them for the mix. Some of them are old standbys. Some I pulled from vinyl. Some I plucked from the Web (#13, #14, #18…) I’m happy with it. And if you send me an email and express fawning interest, I might consider sending you a copy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
