Winds of Change

by Brian on October 14, 2009 filed in D.I.A. Mixes

As promised, here’s the first installment of the Dreams in Audio seasonal mixtape series, Winds of Change. In picking tracks for this mix I couldn’t decide if they should be songs that evoke feelings of Fall or if they should actually be about it. There’s a mix of both here, a lot of them having that rainy day feel, but I tried to throw a few in there that were more exciting and signaled change and transformation. I found myself gravitating towards folk and stuff of that nature, and then segued into a little bit of jazz. I haven’t had a chance to listen to the mix as a whole so I’m not sure exactly how all of the songs will sound together. The track listing is kind of all over the place, but hopefully it’s something people will dig. Enjoy.

Maybe it’s just me, but I get a “file corrupt” message when trying to extract this…

Mr. Attention October 21, 2009 at 8:48 am

Ditto. Error when extracting.

Is everyone else having this problem? I tried extracting myself and it gave me an error the first time, but worked when I clicked on it again.

I’ll upload it again and see if that fixes it.

Mr. Attention October 21, 2009 at 12:28 pm

Got it! Thanks, Brian/D.I.A. Looking forward to absorbing this and future mixes.

On an unrelated note, I (finally) picked up that Mingering Mike book after reading about in Wax Poetics and other articles for several years. So crazy.

Cool. Yeah the Mingering Mike story is just unbelievable. And to think it could have been lost and forgotten forever.
