new mixtape from rick shithouse

i just got this in the mail. it's been rolling for two days non-stop. it's on a regular high bias tape {denon dx1-90 with head cleaning leader} and it's kinda grainy and cool sounding. he did a great job of song selection. i only knew two tracks off the whole tape previously. i am listening on a jambox on my kitchen counter. it still is an amazing feeling to get an actual mixtape of a bunch of new stuff. {if you haven't heard it, it's new.} great getting a hand written note of the track listing. makes me want to go back and make a track listing for my last mix, but i'm afraid if i posted it, someone would make a cdr of the mix. which is like getting a henna tattoo of a real tattoo. mixtapes take time and effort. there's a line on my new record where i yell "i'm a mixtape junky, it might sound a little funky but baby do you know what i mean!!!!??" haha

i like to listen to a chunk of information over and over. and this will be spinning in the deck for a month or so. i'm not one of those guys that plugs in the ipod, and keeps skipping around where you never even hear a whole song, and then turns it down and starts talking. that's not what i think music is for. i think music is for hardcore listening. that's the way i've listened since i was a kid, and i'm sticking with that method. listening carefully to the bad brains is more interesting than listening to any single human being talk about anything. especially when i get to listen on my beloved jambox/tape combo.
i don't know why there's so much whining about music. there's more cool stuff being done than a person can listen to in a lifetime. lots of cool bands on the road, lots of cool bands putting out great music.
