Tape-to-tape dubbing - reggae/dub mix
Hoo, Roland just made really lovely looking gear in the 70s. This is my Space Echo, same sort as Lee "Scratch" Perry used to use, and I've been getting all over-excited about how great it sounds, particularly when driven into dubby feedback.
Speaking of dub, here's a mix for your listening delight. "Pick a dub" by Keith Hudson was my first encounter with the spacey sound of dub, through John Peel playing tracks from the early-Nineties re-issue on Blood and Fire. Typically I misheard the laconic Liverpudlian and confused the assistants in Selectadisc (RIP) in Coventry by asking for Keith Hudson's "Pick a dog".
I heard nothing much until Scientist's genius "Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires" made up the K-JAH radio station on GTA3, which re-ignited my love for it and I've been trying to pick up bits ever since.
Here's the mix anyway, on 8tracks - Tape-to-tape dubbing.

8. Chapter 3 - Joe Gibbs and the Professionals

Warm, cold disco
Here is Warm, cold disco - another 8tracks mix I did a couple of weeks back, including Aeroplane, Eine Kleine Nacht Musik, Principles of Geometry, Tony Carey, Invisible Conga People, that really fucking ace Brassica thing, Prosumer and Murat Tepeli, Soft Rocks and the Rubberroom re-edit of the Eurythmics "Take me to your heart". Respect to Intergalactic FM, Speculator's Short Bus Radio, Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space, and 20jazzfunkgreats.
Start Making a Fool Out of Me
After I hearing this song over on 8tracks, I looked The Zutons up on Hype Machine. Here's the first paragraph I read about them:
For those wondering who The Zutons are lemme warn you. They aren't normal fare for ninebullets. The Zutons are an indie-pop rock band from Liverpool that writes largely disposable music aimed towards the iPod generation. Still, I think there is a place for the "more hooks than substance" cd section on everyone's rack. Sometimes you're in the mood for the musical equivalent of Chinese food when you head to the cd rack, and The Zutons are the kind of band that fills that need. Great for the car on your Saturday night drive out the the club.
Disposable? Harsh.
I won't throw you away, Zutons. Hook to substance ratios are debatable. And you gotta love songs named after girls. It's fun to wonder what the muses think of the work they inspire. If they realize they inspire it, of course.
Valerie is track 3 on Tired of Hanging Around.

Law and Mixes
Apparently people in the biz refer to 8tracks as "the legal Muxtape."
I just spent 10 minutes, yanked some mp3s out of the trash, and made my first mix:
I would love for there to exist an online community than enables the easy and elegant exchange of mixtapes and the stories behind them.
Bummer if the industry and the law are preventing people from building it.
