thanks 

In the mail is September's issue of the Mixtape Culture Club.
Look for it in your local mailbox.
It may not be politically correct in some situations.

Radical Face – The Road To Nowhere. I’ve heard his “hits”. This one is new to me. I guess I need to look a little deeper into his catalog.

Billie Marten - I Can’t Get My Head Around You. Nice voice. Never heard of her before.

Boy & Bear – Southern Sun. I’ve heard of them before. I like this one.

Lord Huron – Bag Of Bones. I know of these guys and like them a lot. I have quite a few of their songs on my playlist. Just not this one.

Correatown – All the World/ I Tell Myself. New to me. I can feel the bittersweetness in this one.

Junip – Without You. Another sad tale. I know of a few songs from them. Reminds me of Jose Gonzales.

Cross Record – High Rise. Another new one to me. I’ll give it a 7 on the Radio Paradise grading scale.

Frankel – Anonymity Is The New Fame. Never heard of these people before. They sound a lot like Camera Obscura... which is a good thing to me. With lyrics “And put your arms around everyone you don't want to die” that give us all very good advice.

Ian Post – Passing Moments. I really like the “phasing” in this one. Gives it a nice psychedelic feel to it. “Floating in the white clouds.”

Lisa Hannigan – Fall. She’s new to me. More interesting lyrics... “Time will seize the captain’s wheel. A mutiny we’ve come to feel”. Nice.

Pat Tierney – Golden Lover, Silver Soul. Another nice one but haven’t heard before.

Portugal The Man – The Sun. Hey! One I’ve heard before.

Ra Ra Riot – Water. Hey! I’ve got this one on my playlist. So, this is my favorite here. Technically it’s Ra Ra Riot and Rostam. Thanks for including it.

Skinshape – It’s Real. I’ve never heard of them. But definitely worthwhile.

Tina Dico – Someone You Love. And more new. But so sad.

The Red Clay Strays – Wanna Be Loved. “At the end of my life... I just wanna be loved... “ There you go.

Unkle – Farewell. The end. Goodbye.

I suppose I listened to the lyrics more than I usually do because of your theme.
I can see where you are coming from with this mix. And you accomplished the retrospective effect.
Sorry for the loss of some friends. We all experience this fact.

I always liked what Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 7:2 & 4... 
2- It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, Because that is the end of every man, And the living takes it to heart.
4-The mind of the wise is in the house of mourning, While the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure

Great job.
Thanks for your thoughts and hard work.

Haven’t used my dual cassette player in years. I don’t know if these tapes will still work. Maybe someday when I have some time I’ll check them out.  I’ve got albums & CD’s out the wazoo that used to be organized and haven’t listened to them in decades.

you should try and "modernize" onto a CD and submit it to the club!

Sure. I put together this playlist during a quiet, reflective moment. Lost a couple of friends among other challenges.  For me it’s songs that capture a bittersweet, introspective vibe. 
Haunting indie folk, dreamy alternative, and soulful tunes. Hoping everyone can appreciate the effort.

My September issue is about done and I don't want to mail it out before you get your reasons posted.
And we can write our reviews. 

Back at home base for a while with a new CD player. Heckin' Chonkin' and soon will be All Ears. 
Thanks for keeping me in the loop. I'll try to ad hoc something soon - for free!

Just long enough for the picture. We're not savages, you know!

Cleaning my garage and inventorying car parts I found a cassette holder case with a crapload of mixtapes from the 70’s.

For a good portion of my year, this is 'shoes': 

So no socks just works better. Also, for this particular season 'pants' is just British slang for something bad, not something you would wear.

 kurtster wrote: Yeah. I had to adjust my style somewhat.
I have two types of socks now. Shorter for shorts. And long ones for pants.
I hate the feel of the pant legs rubbing on my bare ankles.

I just don't get the "no sock" on the feet deal.
Kinda like the really tight fitting slacks. Or the shorts that are "longs" hanging down past the rear end to the ankles.
Or the long hair always getting in the way. All too uncomfortable for me. Especially when I'm working.
No fashion statements coming from this Kurt. 

ColdMiser.

PM coming at you.
