Crap. How did I get to be 30 already? It seems like only last Tuesday it was 1999 and I was 29. Well...now that I'm all growed up, I guess I've got to listen to grown-up music. Ahhh...easy listening. Or, wait!!! Frank Sinatra, yup, Frank, Deano those dudes, they were the sh*t. Now what to … Continue reading Twisted MixTape 18

Welcome to Twisted MixTape Tuesday, this week we disembark from the 90's. This decade has been the most versatile and controversial yet. For me the 90's were an extremely transitional period. I transferred college 6 times, lived in 4 states, graduated in 6.5 years. Took one year off to follow The Grateful Dead. Managed … Continue reading Twisted MixTape 17

It's been a crazy ride so far this summer and I'm loving it. The process of creating mixtapes based on the decade has forced me to look back and think of the music I was listening to "way back when." I can't help but think of what was happening in my life and it's … Continue reading Twisted MixTape Tuesday 16

I can't believe how hard these lists have been. For a decade that most people say was void of much "quality" music. It's been nearly impossible to stick to my own rules. So much so that I was tempted to have an 80's vol 3, but it's time to move on. We've all tracked down … Continue reading Twisted MixTape Tuesday 15

The 80's - the decade of big hair. Isn't that how we remember it? For me, the 80's is a pretty expansive decade. Being a decade baby (born on the actual decade - yes I made that term up) the decades seem pretty huge to me. Especially the 80's. It started in my early adolescence, … Continue reading Twisted MixTape Tuesday 14

It's the 70's. It's not a GIANT decade for me musically because, let's face it, I was born in 1970. Most of my musical influences were not my own. Although - lucky for me - my dad had awesome taste in music. When I did get the opportunity to make some of my own … Continue reading Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday 13

I would be a big fat liar if I said this week's mix wasn't completely affected by the fact that I am on vacation. I would also be a liar if I didn't admit that when I am on vacation I leave my life behind me. It has been a stretch to do anything other … Continue reading Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday 12

Welcome to Part Two of the 1960's (and anything before) Twisted Mix Tape. Last week, we had so many great mixes from the 1960's part one, if you missed them - go visit. As these fabulous mixes were compiled, it became very apparent that we would need more than one week to complete each … Continue reading Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday 11

Ah The Sixties, those were the days. Rock n' Roll was shiny and new, minimum wage was $1.00 and skateboards became the hottest thing, allowing kids to surf on asphalt. Not only that; but we got Star Trek, The Addams Family, The Jestsons, The Flinstones, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie and so much more! … Continue reading Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday 10
