Hey music fans! AdventurerNeil checking in here. Don’t have a ton of time or energy right now, but I wanted to share a mixtape that a friend from work gave me a little bit ago. It’s pretty darn good, and I’d promised him I’d make it appear on the old ‘RU. Finding time and hosting has been a bit of a challenge, but I think I got this…    (if not, I’ll mess around with it some more tomorrow).

So without any ado, really…

The TSURURADIO Community Presents…   Logan’s “The First Mix of the Rest of Your Life” Mixtape!!!

I like this mix because even though I’m passingly familiar with around half of the artists, I had only heard ONE song on it before.  So new to me = good! This mix also scores very high on my timeliness measure, with plenty of artists that are hot hot hot right now! I’ve placed an inconspicuous “BOOYAH!” next to the songs I like most on it at the moment.

Check the bands out, and if you like them, give them your money!!!  >:-|  I mean, you could give them stocks (which would pay them a dividend) or bikes (which would get them from point A to point B), but maybe they already have those things. Maybe they just want some cash for their work. You know, sweet high-liquidity c-a-s-h. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!!??!? That’s right. It’s not. Now raid your stash and make with the cash, Nash!

Anyway, it’s tired, and I’m late, so beddy-bye for me. I’ll see you in the not-too-distant future with an artist interview and more epic mixtapes, of course!

TSURURADIO Presents… MIXTAPES WEEK: [ ...Living, Breathing, Dying... ] by nelso!!!

Oh my, what a week we’ve had so far, eh?  Honestly, I didn’t know if I’d be able to keep MIXTAPES WEEK going all week!  So many hyperlinks… so little time!  But alas, here we are, Friday, and we’ve got yet another amazing mixtape to share with you.  Also, waiting in the wings for my Crane Buddy to receive her Crane’s Day gift is the mixtape I made for her!  It’s a doozy that I plan on sharing with you ASAP, but she gets dibs on listening first, sorry — wouldn’t be all that special if I let you go before her, right?

Right.

Okay, as much as I hate to keep this short, it’s looking to be a nutty day today, it’s chilly outside, Baby’s sick, and dammit, I’m going to get a little lunchtime ride in to spin some ache out of my legs before a big (maybe 100 miler) ride tomorrow!   So, let’s get to the good stuff, eh?  And by good stuff, of course I’m talking about [...Living, Breathing, Dying...] by nelso!

“Ahh life is all about balance, this mix has balance, in tempo, up and down, its living, its breathing, and eventually dying…”  says nelso, so true, about life, about this mixtape, about damn near everything.  I will also add that life is about lines, it’s just one line after another sometimes, isn’t?  Line up at the stop light, line up in the lane on the interstate, line up at the exit, line up to park, line up for some coffee, line up to pay, line up to even leave!  Ugh.

Sorry, I digressed there, I really hate lines.

Fortunately, this mixtape is NOT about lines.  It’s at times whimsical, then fun, then slow & introspective, sometimes a interesting mix of all of the above, like “Whale In The Night” by Firs.  As nelso said, it ebbs, it flows, it’s up & down, as is all things, and it’s quite brilliant.  A wonderful conclusion to a rather ebb & flow kinda week if you ask me!  Thank you so much nelso! So what say you?  Shall we get ‘er on?   Yeah, I think so too.
