Song #30,084 that has been stuck in my head
Here is a great reason why nobody hates the Pretenders: Glam, Post-punk, Classic, New Wave...It's all there:

Mixtapes for Mason- Claws of Hawks- Rap 1
Welcome to the newest installment of Ero's Mixtape Extravaganza! This is Side A of Tape 1 of the Rap & Hip-Hop compilations. There are two cassettes all-told, which means 4 40+ minute mixes. They're not really in any order, though in any project like this patterns seem to emerge. I just wanted to put a lot of good songs together.It should be said that while I intended to include some of the more 'important' artists in the genre, I by no means possess the knowledge to do a proper survey. This is, more than anything else, a bunch of stuff I like. (This also means that it's low on n-words and gratuitous bloodshed, since I'm a wimpy liberal white guy who doesn't get off on violence, but does get off on funk and creativity).
Enjoy, and then, also, enjoy.

meltmaster: GarageFire: The GarageBand Sessions Part 2
This is a post about free music you can download by me, meltmaster.
My latest is music composed on my new MacBook. All of the songs, except one, were made using the built in music maker "GarageBand." There is something that I love about GarageBand; it allows me to make collages of horrible "generic" music. It is a cheap thrill. But I really like my work. I hope you get some cheap thrills out of it too.
Bonus points for those who can determine which track is not a GarageBand track, but my first completed track using Logic Express.

Or got to my last.fm page:
thanks for listening, and if you like any of it, please let me know!!!!

Mixtapes for Mason- Coyotes Eat- Punk 1
Another installment in the massive mixtape series, this time the genre is Punk.
The compilation was intended for someone on the young side, so this is sort of half history lesson and half thrill ride. All the songs here are pretty ferocious though. Hard to mess up. I've interpreted 'punk' pretty freely (as with all the genre mixtapes), but i think the results stand up to repeated listening.
Timed for cassette. This is Side A; side B will follow.

Mixtapes for Mason- Through The Spinal Cord and Nerves- Krautrock
Krautrock! In the continuing series of mixtapes.
If you're just tuning in now, this series of mixes was originally put together for a teenager, so the content is designed to do a little educating and also a little aesthetic whomping. That is, the two goals were: shine a light on some of the musical giants who came before, and, make a listening experience that'll show why they matter.
In this case, my knowledge of Krautrock is pretty slim: I've listened to a bunch of Can and Faust, and a handful of other albums in the genre. And once in the 90s I read Julian Cope's "Krautrocksampler"... anyhow, this ought to be a fun mix despite my limitations.
These were formatted to fit on cassette, so each 'side' will be around 42 minutes.
Up nest: punk rock.

Mixtapes for Mason- Out From Your Brain- Classic Reggae And Dub
The Mixtapes continue. This side is focused on reggae (of the old-fashioned, pre-rap kind). My knowledge of the genre is limited and my tastes too- so this is by no means a survey of the genre, just a bunch of stuff I like. Enjoy.If you're just tuning in now, this series of mixes was originally put together for a teenager, so the content is designed to do a little educating and also a little aesthetic whomping.
