As some of my three readers may know, my longtime friend, and fellow music junkie, Chris Combs and I have put together some mixes of what we consider great music past and present over the last six months or so. For our last endeavor, we decided to release a 4-part series of music exploring the [...]
Continuing the trend of simply pushing music instead of informing anyone of politics, revolutionary sexuality or anything else of importance, here is my latest mix. All over the place, a.fluid.affect: volume V is an eclectic mix that ranges from electronica to a song featured on a Korean Gap ad (and one I couldn’t get [...]
My friend Chris has begun a new blog that features different mixtapes from himself and others. Since I have featured a few mixtapes here on this blog, I volunteered my services. Here is a short mix of the artists on heavy rotation for the start of 2010.

As much as the MTV EMA’s filled me with disillusion (see previous article here), my first glimpse at the German rock-pop band Tokio Hotel provided me with some mindful stimulation.
I had only recently heard of this band through an acquaintance as we discussed the merits (and faults) of Germany’s music scene one night at an [...]
