Summer Jamz #13: Matt Shea’s “Disassociated Summer Jam”

ZIP:  Matt Shea’s “Disassociated Summer Jam” The thought of summer in Brisbane is better than the actual season you’re backhanded come October or November. The first few weeks are fantastic: you bust out the shorts and barbeques, sipping beers and vodka tonics. But by February-March, the whole thing gets a little tiresome. Wetting your underpants… Continue reading »

Summer Smoke Mix Re-Up

Reader Michael Kim asked me earlier today if I still had the files to the Summer Smoke mix that I made for Soul Sides last year.  Turns out that I do — along with the remains of the Romanov children, a T206 Honus Wagner baseball card, and the never-before-seen too-hot-for-TV episode of Frasier where Niles… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz #12: Thomas Odumade’s “In the Heat of the Night”

This mix is inspired by all the nights I’ve spent of late sweating on the balcony of my downtown Edmonton apartment. The heatwave that’s struck the city, coupled with all the intermittent thunderstorms has created some damn hot and humid evenings this summer. It hasn’t quite reached Do the Right Thing levels of sultriness, but… Continue reading »

Sach O’s Before I Leave For the Summer Jam: Nu-Neon Funk Mix

Sach is currently somewhere in Europe. His exacts whereabouts are unknown, but rumors put him somewhere near the Rhine River, heavily bearded and cavorting with a trio of attractive Latvian women.

Summer Jamz #11: Barry Schwartz’s Soulfuck — 2010

Barry Schwartz finds your anti-blunt rhetoric despicable.  I’m going to give this year’s Mr. Softee a stern talking to. He decided not to get the thing that makes Mr. Softee milkshakes the bomb and opted instead for a bullshit blender I could get at fucking Fortunoff. He’s cutting corners. That’s unacceptable. I should be drinking… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz #10: Jeff Weiss’ Topanga Daze

Jeff Weiss is nowhere to be found. He is believed to be spending the rest of the summer following Moe cross-country and playing semi-professional hacky sack.   Download: Jeff Weiss’ “Topanga Daze” Six summers ago,  I smoked myself stupid and serene, supine in a rented Swiss Family tree house in Topanga. Wind chimes and crystals.… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz #8: Crambe Repetita’s “Pants” Mix

Summer Jamz #7: Nate Patrin’s “440ci of Heavy Rock”

Pitchfork Reviews Reviews gave Nate Patrin’s Summer Jamz a 9.3.  Download:  Nate Patrin’s “440ci of Heavy Rock” Nostalgia is a weird and sometimes poisonous thing, and that goes double if we’re talking revisionist nostalgia for an age we don’t remember. I wasn’t around for the early ‘70s; I was born in ’77 and only started… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz #6: Dan Weiss’ “My Eyes Are Scrambled” Mix
