Turntable Kitchen :: The August 2011 Mix

August 16th, 2011

It’s something I can’t explain, but some of TK’s mixes come together easily, while others are labors of love. The August mix definitely falls into the latter category. I struggled with everything from committing to an opening track, track order and song selection. Once I had a little over half a mix, I felt like [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: July 2011 Mix

July 21st, 2011

I think you’re going to like the July mix. It’s upbeat, it’s fun, and it’s just oozing with joie de vivre. In fact, I hope you’ll forgive us if we’ve been acting a little overly giddy recently, but life has been good to us. First, after months of planning, we finally announced the launch of [...]

Turntable Kitchen’s Top Albums of 2011 (so far)

July 5th, 2011

Last Friday we entered July, and thus, also the second half of 2011. Now that we’ve passed that milestone, I thought it would be worthwhile to take a look back at the best albums we’ve heard so far. For me it helps at the end of the year to remind of some of the best [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: The June 2011 Mix

June 24th, 2011

It feels like it has been awhile since we last sprung a mix on you, so today felt like a good time to unleash the June mix. It’s packed with yummy pop treats, grimy lo-fi indie rock and sexy (albeit a little on the naughty side) r&b. If you have sensitive ears and would like [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: the May 2011 Mix

May 17th, 2011

When you are in the depths of Winter it can feel as if Spring will never arrive, and yet here we are, with the weather growing warmer, the days becoming longer and the skies often seeming bluer. We’re riding bicycles through city streets, planning camping trips with friends, drinking beers while watching baseball games and [...]

Turntable Kitchen’s Top ‘Side One, Track Ones’ Released Since 2000

May 4th, 2011

A first impression is a lasting impression. At least that is the conventional wisdom. And I’d argue that whatever wisdom lay in that theory with regard to social interactions applies equally to a listener’s interaction with music. If you have a negative reaction (i.e. boredom, indifference, or outright dislike) to the first song you hear [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: April 2011 Mix

April 12th, 2011

2011 has been a surprisingly good year for music fans so far. We’ve already had a great new Radiohead album and an album by Fleet Foxes that is arguably a masterpiece. The Weeknd came out of nowhere and gave us a free downloadable mixtape that I suspect will grace many Top Albums of 2011 list [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: March 2011 Mix

March 14th, 2011

Here it is, the Turntable Kitchen March 2011 mix. It came together surprisingly quickly, and yet I feel like it is one of my favorite mixes I’ve put together in awhile. It is certainly eclectic, but that undoubtedly reflects the fact that my mind has been suffering from musical attention deficit disorder. I’ve been listening [...]

Turntable Kitchen: The Covers Dinner Mix

February 21st, 2011

As you may have heard, this past weekend, Turntable Kitchen and FoxconSox hosted a series of underground supper clubs titled “Covers” :: a dinner of culinary and musical tribute :: for the Noise Pop Festival. For Turntable Kitchen, it was our first ever physical “real world” event. Here was the concept: the chefs we worked with would [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: the February 2011 Mix

February 10th, 2011

February may be the shortest month of the year, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have enough love for two Turntable Kitchen mixtapes! Yup, two new TK mixes comin’ at ya. In a few weeks I’ll unveil the Turntable Kitchen :: Cover Mix that we prepared for our now sold out dinner party that we [...]
