Started with a 30+ minute Disintegration Loop in honor of my aunt who just passed away. Brightened things up a bit after that, though. Not all doom & gloom. And certainly much lighter than last week's horrorfest.

According to recent polls, it's totally legit to play drone n pop side-by-side. Agreed?

Yesterday's primarily disgustingly brutal black metal show is ready for the ultimate portability test. Download it, take it wherever you want!

Also, not sure if it's the program I was using to record, but my vocals are wayyyy low in this mix. Did it actually sound like that live? Should I crank that shit up so I'm screaming at your facez? Feedback makes the world go 'round. Tell me what to do to make it better and I'll fucking deliver.

Play it loudest, play it hardest.

Ahahaha so my first radio show yesterday was a bit of a disaster. I had no idea what I was doing. But I got music to play and I was able to talk so I guess that's all that really matters.

That does mean, however, that I wasn't able to record my show the way I planned. To compensate for my idiocy, I created a mix of yesterday's playlist. So you're getting basically the same thing, except you won't hear me rambling and fucking up which record is on which label.

Here's a massive mix for you. Also, I added an .m3u this time. Let me know if that's helpful for anyone or completely unnecessary.

BOIL Mix / QRO Mag Giveaway

Album art sourced from CC image Drinking Flamingo

My pals over at QRO Mag are turning 1000 soon (in Twitter followers) and they love you all so much that they're having a contest. There are a couple ways to enter but the easiest is to just go follow them on Twitter because all new followers between 950-1000 are automatically entered (they're at about 960 right now).

The best part is the prizes are fucking sweet. There's a couple of label packages, one being from the interminably awesome Breakfast Of Champs including shit from Quilt, COP MAGNET, Total Slacker, and WITCH MTN. Hell yes! There's also a Burning Mill prize pack with releases from DOM, Golden Girls, Ape Debris, Golden Holy, and one surprise.

But then there's the mixtape part of the giveaway and that's where I come in. QRO Mag asked me and a few fellow bloggers (Cream Team, Knox Road, & No Modest Bear) to each create a mixtape for the giveaway. At first the idea was that the mix would be exclusive to the contest (at least until it was over), but they loosened up and are allowing us to post our own mixes on our blogs. So a hearty thank you & congrats to QRO Mag and all the other cool people involved with this. Way to fucking go. Now I present to you, BOIL.

You should recognize at least half of the stuff in this mix because it's culled from past reviews. The others are probably high profile enough that you'll know 'em anyway. And in case you couldn't tell, this is one hardcore noise/drone mix. It's sorta brutal. And it's sorta awesome. And it's my first attempt at a mix put together in Garage Band so I could smooth out the wrinkles & normalize it and shit, making it a single mp3. Let me know what you think.

BOIL
1. Lonesummer - "We've Lost a Day"
2. Halflings - "Burning Ambition"
3. The Vomit Arsonist - "Choke"
4. Kanin Krusete - "Veteran Plates"
5. Russell Haswell - "High Force From Above"
6. Millipede - "Surf"
7. The Conet Project - "5 Note Version ‘Czech Lady'"
8. Ultra Bonbon - "Resplendent City"
9. Wilt - "SVF"
10. Gerritt Wittmer - "Untitled 2"
11. Marinos Koutsomichalis - "Untitled 6"
12. Kouhei Matsunaga - "291107"

No posts for a little while so I got a coupla mixes for ya. This is the shittier one. In case you haven't noticed, I don't write about any hip hop on AGB. That's partially because I don't know shit about hip hop. But that doesn't mean I don't like it. Just the opposite actually. Anyway, here's my pitifully lazy attempt at making a hip hop mix.

Hey guys. My friends are getting married in the mountains and throwing a multi-day party to celebrate so I'm gonna be gone until sometime next week. I made this mix to tide you all over until I return. I honestly have no idea what was going through my head when I made it but the tracks are culled from my insanely killer library of envy so it can't be all bad. And actually, I think it's pretty damn good. But either way, lets face it. What else are you going to do for 5 days if I'm not around to tell you what to listen to? It's not like you read any other blogs. Right? RIGHT??

Easter Pop Mix

I'm going to Connecticut for Easter to visit the fam and made a mix for the drive. This is that mix. There's vintage faves La Roux & Ms Boots, new classics like Jónsi, CocoRosie, & Gorillaz, hipster hits from Tanlines, Kisses, & Pill Wonder, and hopefully some fun weird shit you might not have heard of before. At least, that was the plan.

This is going to make the trip tomorrow 100 zillion times more awesome, and maybe if you're going somewhere that's at least 1 hour and 10 minutes away, it will also enhance your trip.

I feel like a motherfucking genius coming up with such an amazing title for this mix. Easter Pop might go down as one of the best mix titles ever.

Major props to my bunny Hodge for being so inspiring and helping out with the custom album art.

Surprise!

I'm going on the yearly trip to Elise's uncle's cabin in Maine. I'll be gone for a while so, as usual, I made a mix for myself to listen to on my trip and for you to listen to while I'm partying. The "Surprise!" isn't, "Surprise! I'm going on vacation." It's more like, "Surprise Elise! I made a mix for you." She left for the cabin before me to hang with her parents, so I made this for her. And for you. Get it?

It's got some great fucking stuff on it and is very appropriate for a few days in a secluded, forested, cabin by the lake. Some banjos, Tuvan throat singing, an accapella Who cover, outsider weirdness, chill acoustic tunes, and good old fashioned garage rock. Everything should be right up your alley.

Surprise! Mix
Beach House - D.A.R.L.I.N.G.

Renegades Mix (aka Vacay)

I'm going to New York for about a week or so to tour The Selznick School in Rochester to see if I want to go there for film archiving and then down to Brooklyn to sell my wife's awesomeness at Renegade. My wife Elise sells under the name Argyle Whale and we'll be there this Saturday & Sunday meeting people and making $$$$. Since there shall be an AGB hiatus until I return, I'll leave you with a sweet mix I made for our road trip. Lots of good upbeat stuff on it. If you want to keep up with me, I'll try to do the Twitter thing as long as I'm not too busy. If you're going to be in the area, feel free to stop by and say hello.

Xmix

Just like every other blogger in the world, I'll be going home for a few days to see the family. Which means I'll be breaking my month long streak of posting at least once every day. Sad, I know. Somehow I think you'll live.

To hold you over until Sunday, though, I made a little Christmas mix. Nothing special, just lots of good songs with the word Christmas in the title. I'm a fucking genius. Since I'm lazy/don't want to plague my server with tons of songs I know no one will listen to anyway, I just made a zip file with all of the songs and the CUSTOM COVER ART and threw it up on Media Fire. Enjoy the holidays.
