Turntable Kitchen :: June 2012 Mix
June 21st, 2012
I prepared this month’s mix with the specific goal of providing myself with a little traveling music for our vacation. In other words, these tracks are the ones I’ve been meaning to spend a little more time with. And after all, there are a lot of great tracks here worth spending some time with. POP-ETC’s [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: May 2012 Mix
May 29th, 2012
It’s almost down to the wire, but there was no way I’d miss the chance to release our May 2012 mix. After all, I’ve uncovered far too much great new music for me not to share it. For example, we have some irresistible jams from the likes of Mozella (from her sessions with Brian Holland [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: April 2012 Mix
April 20th, 2012
I love putting together our monthly mixtapes. It’s fun slowly compiling the tracks over the course of the month; it’s fun sequencing the tracks for the mix; and I love that “ah ha” moment when I realize the mix is finally done. All of the pieces for this one fell into play last night, and [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: March 2012 Mix
March 15th, 2012
I think you’ll notice right away that our March mix is a very different beast from the February mix. For example, we open this one with the sultry, shimmering new single from Beach House, whereas last month’s mix opened with an upbeat, tropical-island inspired B.I.G. remix. It’s indicative of the overall mood of this mix [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: February 2012 Mix
February 16th, 2012
The February 2012 Mix is the first time we’ve featured most of these artists, but you can be sure you’ll be hearing more about them in the coming months. For example, I can’t get enough indie r&b recently, so artists like AlunaGeorge, Milo Mills, and Woolfy have been getting a lot of plays in our [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: January 2012 Mix
January 18th, 2012
Twenty-twelve is already off to a strong start in terms of good music. Although there haven’t been a lot of great albums yet (after all we are only a few weeks in), there have been a host of intriguing singles popping up left and right. If these singles are a sign of what’s to come [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: Top Albums of 2011
January 3rd, 2012
(full list of Top 30 Albums with MP3s below comments) Comments A recent New York Times article (sent to me by my friend Lindsey) sizes up the “mainstream rock music” in 2011 and concludes that “2011 may well be remembered as the most numbing year for mainstream rock music in history.” To be honest, I’ve [...]

Turntable Kitchen: The December 2011 Mix
December 20th, 2011
Turntable Kitchen’s December Mix isn’t our usual mix. Instead of a heavy focus on new music, I highlight some of my favorite tracks from the past year. Unlike last year though, I didn’t focus on digital-only tracks, but instead highlight some of my favorite tracks released during the year regardless of the format it was [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: The Best 7″ Vinyl Singles of 2011
December 12th, 2011
Like every other music blogger/critic since the dawn of the recording age, I love compiling year end lists. Nonetheless, while I enjoy putting together the ubiquitous “Best Albums of the Year” list (which will be coming closer to the end of the year), it’s my “Best 7″ Vinyl Singles” list that is my favorite. By [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: the November 2011 Mix
November 15th, 2011
Mmmmm… fresh young blood! Yup, you might notice that less than a handful of the artists featured here have released more than a debut full length (and the majority haven’t even released that yet). And what is more, nearly all of the songs featured here have been released within the last 30-60 days. So if [...]
