It was a graveyard smash!

By on October 29, 2010 in Music

I’m not gonna do a Halloween mix this year because the dudes at ArawaFM took all the hot tracks. None left for me.

First mix is a compilation of horror movie tracks from the 60s to present with a few choice Halloween/novelty records thrown in:
T.Scatola- I Suoni Neri Dell’orrore Vol. 1

Second mix is from our good buddy JAZ, an eighty minute trip through the darkest corners of the boogie:
JAZ- The Minister

Love is kinda spooky!

Beachy

By on October 15, 2010 in Beach, Music, Travel

Around this time of year I start to have a major beach craving. With the weather getting cooler I feel such nostalgia for the warm weather and the time I spent at the ocean during the summer. (Some of you might notice that I tend to mention the beach alot on here). I do like Fall and the changing season, but feel sad at the same time with the thought that I might not be at the beach for a while. Earlier this week I spotted these great photographs of a beach in Portugal by artist Christian Chaize on 20×200. His photos document a small stretch of coastline in southern Portugal and just jumped out at me. I love the composition and palette. I can almost smell the saltwater and hear the soft muffled chatter of other people as the waves break and slap on the wet shore. Makes me miss the ocean all the more…

So I made a quick mix this morning with songs that convey a longing for the sea and posted it on 8tracks. Click to listen.

Mixes for Anne

By on October 8, 2010 in Music

My sister-in-law attended a Hindi wedding last weekend. She fell in love with the music and on her way home she called me asking, “Steph, do you have any Bollywood or Hindi-type music? Can you make me a mix?” Do I ever! I put together my top choices in Filmi music for Anne this past week. It was so fun to get back into the music that I sort of got carried away and found some new gems.


Disco, funk and even acid house plus a lot of danceable tracks and a few contemporary hits for good measure.

Listen now in the pop-up player.


Mystery and intrigue! Think Jaan Pahechan Ho-esque plus some weepy scores.

Listen on my 8tracks


Down-tempo and lounge…not really all Filmi, but mostly…
