  May 24, 2010

  Last week was a mettle tester. Terrible and amazing all at the same time. We'll start this week off on a great note with this little stack of tracks.

  May 17, 2010

• Hold The Mood »

  April 19, 2010

  Rocco T. Dog appears to have blown his knee. I'm trying to keep from getting too into a funk about it just now. This mix keeps it upbeat overall without going overboard and being stupid about it.

• Tiger By The Tail »

  April 12, 2010

  I've really started knocking down everything that stacked up and backed up while we moved things over to the new digs. Working it and doing stuff. This week's mixtape is perfect for such a groove.

  April 5, 2010

  This week isn't particularly themey other than all of the tracks have found their way into my head recently. Good music for pressing ahead and kicking Springtime's ass. ooh! Brand new Broken Social Scene track!

  Changed My Life »

  March 22, 2010

  I was hooked up with a motherlode of pre-1989 female-fronted punk last week. Here are the 30 (yes, 30) I've been digging on most. I'm totally flashing back to the first time I heard the Plasmatics.

• Stomach Bug »

  February 15, 2010

  A solid day wasted um...dealing with...a case of Valentine's Day food poisoning has me feeling antsy and eager to get a bunch done. Here's a steady set of rockers to facilitate that.

• Torch Singers & Lounge Lizards »

  February 08, 2010

  I went on a little Gene Krupa bender over the weekend that put me in the mood for this set today. Something about this music makes it an especially good companion this time of year.

• Birthday Chuck »

  February 01, 2010

  It's founding member of Black Flag and all around badass musician Chuck Dukowski's birthday. This week isn't strictly punk rock, but it's well represented. I hope you're ready.

• Run, Don't Walk »

  January 11, 2010

  Things are definitely kicking into high gear this week. Much to do, much being done. (I've added a podcast feed if you want to download to your iPod, playback offline, etc.)

• A Rolling Start »

  January 4, 2010

  Spent the weekend getting things reset and organized for the new calendar year. Going to rock it today, but not quite ready to open the floodgates in this week's mix. This one starts out easy and cruises at a nice pace. We'll kick up the pace next week.

• Break from the Holidays»

  December 14, 2009

  Burl Ives...I love ya, but I might step in front of a bus if I don't get a good solid hour without hearing your voice. I'm totally not against holiday music. I just need a break.

• Cold Snap»

  December 7, 2009

  Okay...I get it. Oregon can have winter. I've been doing my best to squash this new cold weather wimpiness and conjure up my Midwest toughness. The best thing to do: focus on warmth.

• Everyone’s Staring»

  November 23, 2009

  After pulling off a passable Ignite presentation last week and with most of my sick peeps on the mend, the stress level's down and my awesome is coming back. Today's selection has a few really good rockers.

• The Best Medicine»

  November 16, 2009

  Lots of sickness, broken bodies, and angst around me right now. Hope this helps some. The Kills, Cat Power, Pinback, Pixies, Morphine, and more. The pace is up and down a bit, but still flows fine.

  A Friday afternoon pickup. A little punk, a little post-hardcore, a little math rock, a little et cetera. All full of awesome.

• Turn it Tilted»

  November 9, 2009

  My week's been tilted to say the least. Sugar, The Broken West, Tom Waits, Trentemøller...this one defines variety. Yet they all play well together.

  November 2, 2009

  I needed a little something to help me shake it today. Trying to keep the momentum going. This is doing the trick so far.

• Masses of Humanity»

  October 26, 2009

  In a...mood. Not a bad mood at all. But a definite mood. I'll leave it at that. If it comes across, super. If not, it's still a good set.

• The Sweat Descended»

  October 12, 2009

  It's been a rock and roll binge the past couple of weeks. More live shows than I've seen in the past 6 months combined. My body's starting to complain a little, but I'm not throwing in the towel just yet.

• It Goes With Everything»

  October 5, 2009

  Everything here is in black. It just started as a keyword search, but turned into a pretty nice playlist. Happy accidents.
