Welcome to the Mixtape

I mean, why not?

Hi there!

Thanks for making this space part of your day. I hope to make it worthwhile whenever you stop by.

Pretty soon, this will be my new home on the internet. I’ll be moving all my stuff over here. Articles, posts, links to pieces I wrote for other publications, etc.

Why “The Mixtape”?

As far back as 12 years old, I’ve been fascinated with making mixtapes. I began, like many others in my generation, by recording songs off the radio. Then I got a little obsessive. I started recording radio station jingles and mixing in my own records to come after those jingles. I learned on my little cheap tape recorder that if I backed up the tape a nanosecond over the last audio I recorded and pressed “record” again, it made the songs and jingles segue into each other just like the DJs were doing with two turntables and cart machines. I guess that’s what got me wanting to get into the world of radio. Well, that and Dr. Johnny Fever.

But more on that later…

Over the next few days, weeks, months (years?), I’ll be adding more and more of my stuff, and if you like what you see/read, it’d be super cool if you hit the “subscribe” button. I promise not to overcrowd your inbox. I know I hate it when it’s done to me.

Oh, and be sure to spread the word! That’s the best form of advertising there is.
