Relocation

I've decided to move this blog over to Tumblr, because it's just easier for me to use.

ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN

You can barely hear the helicopter propellers over the beating of your heart, your blood starts to rush to your brain because you know within moments you will be dropped off on top of that nearly vertical wall of snow that calls itself a mountain. Well, if this ever were to happen to you, this mix will have you covered. From that last second in the air, landing down on a 5 foot wide peak of snow thousands of feat above sea level, saying farewell to your friends up there with you (because you obviously are going to drop first), the whole run down miles of untouched snow, to that blissful feeling at the end of the slope (YES, this is real life!), and it all starts up again when you see your friend coming down. Or, fuck it, listen to it at your local ski slope.

The Last Tin Can On Earth

TWO BOYS. A TRASH CAN. AND A BASEBALL BAT.

So, my brother gave me this prompt, and honestly, the first thought through my head was Doug. You know, "Drumming on a trash can, strumming on a street light. One little voice is calling me calling me." Yeah. So it started out all innocent. And then I started drinking while I was making it. And it turned into an epic mix about taking drugs, flipping out, breaking shit, and realizing your best friend is in love with you. Who is guy. As are you. SO.....yeah. I have this whole long back story for these people, but it's not really important (to anyone but me). Regardless..... Enjoy!!

Being Chased By An Axe Murderer

MUSIC

 As a 20 something year old adult/child, I tend to stay up too late on the internet. Luckily, I have adult/child friends who do the same. And sometimes, we even talk to each other while we do this! Shocking. It just so happens that tonight we decided to be somewhat productive while we are wiling away the hours. That's right. Productive. On the Internet.

As of right now, my friend Fil and I are making themed mixes, for musical stimulation (and for the lolz). I gave him the prompt "Running From An Axe Murderer. In The Woods." He gave me "The 2010 Hot Air Balloon Landing Festival."

Let the madness begin!
