September Mix

By adbrad · Comments (0)
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

No fancy, existential title this time. No mystical underpinnings. Just a mix full of music I’ve been enjoying this summer and in the past few weeks. I was afraid that if I didn’t actually sit down and make a mix, some of the more summery songs on this one would never make it onto a mix. So listen to it fast. Like today, to get it in before summer’s over.

I’ve been wanting to use this fence on something for a while. I bought a house at the beginning of the summer and this picket fence has shown up in my sketches a lot. Usually it’s a sarcastic reference to the quintessential American Dream. Here’s my first use of the fence.

I made it a bit less patriotic for the mix.

April? Mix

Thanks to the whining of Matt Danner, here’s another monthly mix.

This month’s theme is uncertainty and questions. Specifically about God. I am a Christian. I have been in a Christian family my entire life. But I never want to pretend I have things figured out. The more I learn, the less I know. So, I have questions. And that’s healthy. No one should ever stop questioning things, especially those things you profess to be guiding truths in life. So, these songs are about people asking questions about God, country, Christianity and life.

Enjoy. Because of the lateness of this mix, you might get another one in the coming weeks before May. It may or may not be inspired by a CD I found at my house in Edmond from the summer of 2006. And the cover may include a pair of cargo shorts, as did most of my clothing choices in that period of my life.

ON House Show Strikes Again

O’Colly On is a music blog focusing on local Oklahoma music, both in & out of Stillwater. They’ve done some awesome interviews and videos that you should check out.

But the coolest thing they’ve done lately is house shows! They clear out a house, bring in some local musicians and let the fun begin. I went to the last one with Deerpeople and it was pretty awesome. We were hanging out making movies with Nathan Poppe of On a couple months ago and he suggested we have the next one at our house. So we were obviously stoked for that.

So Sherree Chamberlain, Gentle Ghost and Jacob Abello will be playing at our house, Friday March 26. For free!
