ECLECTICISM...

Mix Show (1999)

'Cassette heaven' photo by Kleegirl
It's always great to find old mixes and listen to them. And quite interesting when you notice how your musical tastes have somewhat altered; in my case, having become far more vast. 
This mix, I made several years ago for no special reason. My Sister and I drove down the Columbia Gorge to visit relatives in a red '86 Toyota Celica which only had a cassette player. We needed music. I obliged of course. 
To be honest, I fear for the future of the tape cassette. You see, I love the tape cassette, I always will. But recently I have found great difficulty finding any variety of recording cassettes. It used to be that I could go into certain stores and purchase four or five 120 Minute High Bias SONY tape cassettes, which were my personal preference. Now I have found this simple task to be almost impossible ('almost' as I have on rare occasions been able to find these only individually though.) I suppose I can understand why this is happening, nonetheless, I am saddened by this because some of us still do love the cassette tape.
"The Cassette Is (perhaps soon?) Dead. Long Live The Cassette Tape!"
On another note... After my sister married, I inherited that Red `86 Toyota Celica. It now has a CD player while the cassette deck is no longer in commission... Kismet?
-Keisha Duncan Artofthemix.org (2003) 


After nearly ten years... 

I've recently sold my old Celica as my Husband and I now drive a much newer Toyota. 
Farewell little red car.

And interesting developments have taken place as well regarding cassette tape culture.
In the past couple of years or so cassette tapes have made a sort of comeback with some independent record labels who have turned to the format to distribute releases more quickly and inexpensively.

Take for example A Thousand Steps Recordsout of Spokane, Washington, an exclusively all cassette label.
The brainchild of Jason Campbell who is in one of our favorites bands Mirror Mirror, features local area artists RamblechildBBBBandits, Space Movies, Bev Coyo, 66Beat, Jack Sabbath and of course Mirror Mirror.  
Plasticstatic -Ryan and myself, are very pleased to be part of this as well with our latest EP 'Anchors' to eventually be released on A Thousand Steps on cassette tape!

So, I suppose that I need not have worried so much about my beloved cassette tape after all... 

it has not been forgotten, it is still loved and it is doing quite well for itself.

Show #5 'Staticwaves'

Cover art by Ryan (2012)

Every so often I ask Ryan to choose all of the songs in the playlist.

This inevitably results in lots of very positive feedback.

A case in point, the last show he compiled 'Stairway To The Best Party in the Universe' from March of last year.

I think that we received a fair amount of new listeners due to that particular show. 
That was also the show that introduced me to the fantastic Mirror Mirror.


So here we are again.

Server currently down...

Looks like the server hosting the mp3s of our show is currently down.
It's most likely temporary and will be back up and running in the near future.

In the meanwhile, we have for some time been recording the video broadcasts via Ustream so there is always that.

But if you would still like an mp3 of any show please email us at ihungaroundinyoursoundtrack@gmail.com and I will gladly upload whatever you would like to mediafire or 4shared.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

::UPDATE:: 
I'm gradually re-uploading some of the newer shows until the server is back up.
So far only show #1 'Another Noisy Year' is available again. 
All you need to do is click on ::download:: and you'll be taken where you need to go. All shows with the 'cygnus-loop' link are still down though. But rest assured that for all future shows posted there will be an mp3 download available via a different host.
