This month’s mixtape is dedicated to one of the greatest food combinations ever paired together. Of course I could only be talking about avocado & bacon. It’s creamy superfood meets crispy pork product. What’s not to love? Like the foods that inspired it, this month’s playlist blends crispy rock jams by folks like The Everywheres, [...]

There are few things I enjoy more in life than a cup off hot coffee and some toasted fresh bread (with a little honey spread on it). In fact, if I were Radiohead, I’d write a banging song about coffee and toast and title it something like “Black Stoutz Burnt.” It’d have swirling arpeggios, harmonies [...]

As you may or may not have heard, big things have been going on in our home. Only a few days ago we welcomed our daughter Neko Rose Hickey to the world. As a result, things may be quiet around here for the next few days while we adjust. Nonetheless, I did have the foresight [...]

I love Christmas time. For me, the holiday has always been a time for giving; a time for reflecting; and a time for bonding with family. I’ve lived in California for over ten years now, and every year since I moved here I’ve looked forward to spending Christmas with my parents and family in Ohio. [...]

Welcome to another meal-themed Turntable Kitchen mixtape (you may remember our Breakfast Mix from a couple of months back).

October has long been one of my favorite months. For me, October is festive gourds, pumpkin flavored foods, apple cider, baseball postseason, and ends with my birthday (which is on Halloween). And so far, this year, October has also proved to be a pretty good month for hot new music. The music we’re featuring on [...]

Kasey asked me to put together a mix tailored specifically for soundtracking a cafe-styled breakfast to accompany her latest Stylish In The Kitchen post. As you may already know, I love making mixes and I love me some breakfast, so there was no way I’d take a pass on this one. Since this is a [...]

Last summer Kasey and I decided we wanted to explore different ways we could expand upon what we were doing with Turntable Kitchen in new and exciting directions. Whatever idea we came up with would have to be true to our founding principles of connecting our two greatest passions: food and music. Eventually the idea [...]

Something tells me you might be sniffing around here for some new music. If my hunch is correct, then you’re in luck my friend. Our August 2012 Mix is splitting at the seams with all of the best new jams I could wrangle together. First, there are new tracks by folks you’ll probably recognize like [...]

Some of my mixes come together quickly and some are harder to piece together. For whatever reason, the July 2012 Mix was one of the harder mixes to piece together. Nonetheless, in the end I think it came out quite nicely and I think you’ll agree. We’ve got blazing hot new music from Frank Ocean, [...]
