didn't they tell you no cameras?

Here is a live Prince mix that I made for my friend Sharon, she's a huge fan but would probably never seek this shit out for herself. It's all soundboard recordings from various club and other smaller gigs. The tightness of his band in all the different eras is spectacular--would love to have been present for some of these epic jams!

a little bit of soul

so lately I've been in the mood for a little Northern Soul. maybe I think it's going to encourage the weather to finally warm up, the sun to come out--it's just got that energy, you know? anyway, just in case you want to get a little soul into your life, THIS MIX ought to help you scratch that itch.

goodbye, hometown

The town I was born in--Cairo, Illinois--has, over the years and despite its decline in the 30 years since I left, continued to pop up on the radar here and there. Referenced in works like Twain's Huck Finn, Vonnegut's Deadeye Dick and Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this little town of which I have such fond childhood memories may finally be on the verge of total collapse due to the recent Midwest flooding. I haven't been there in years, but I'm still a little sad to see it facing disaster.
