Turntable Kitchen :: January 2011 Mix

January 17th, 2011

The January 2011 mix is dedicated to the ridiculously awesome Laser Kittens mural that once graced Divisadero Street in San Francisco. That mural was the game. So with any luck this mix will sound somewhat as awesome as the picture above looks with lots of laser-like sounds, pouncing kittens, and a dash of urban grittiness. [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: December 2010 Mix

December 30th, 2010

You might notice that the December 2010 mix is a little different from our usual mix.  First, a lot of these tracks have been included on prior mixes whereas I normally try to avoid re-using songs from prior mixes.  Second, it is pretty light on the indie rock (our bread and butter).  This isn’t intended [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: November 2010 Mix (& Hozac Records Giveaway)

November 30th, 2010

Hello, it’s me.  Or rather, it is my first mixtape for our new site, which I have creatively titled “November 2010 Mix.”  As you have come to expect from the mixtapes I prepared on the old site, this mix is super-saturated with music that is elegant, juvenile, hissing, cooing, snarling, purring, lavish and razor-sharp.  Indeed, [...]

Readers with diverse and [...]

Musical Pairings @ eating/sf presents: the September Mix

September 24th, 2010

September has been a good month for me.  I’ve discovered lots of great new music, enjoyed a few days of living work free, started a new job, and – most importantly – celebrated my first anniversary married to the woman I love.   Although this isn’t an anniversary mix, there are a lot of upbeat, [...]

Musical Pairings @ eating/sf presents: the August mix

August 20th, 2010

This year has been a great year for music thus far, and I believe the monthly mixtapes here at Musical Pairings have been a testament to that.   Each one has been  jam packed with great new discoveries and the August mix is no exception.  This one offers a little something for everyone: lo-fi garage rock, [...]

Musical Pairings @ eating/sf: the July mix

July 23rd, 2010

Here it is!  The July mix.  It features the songs I’ve been listening to while enjoying the Summer sun and warmth (or at least the songs I listen to while dreaming about escaping the San Francisco fog).  It is a pretty straight forward mix of happy, sunny pop tunes featuring a lot of the best [...]

Musical Pairings: the June Mix

June 10th, 2010

Say hello to Musical Pairings’ latest: the June mix.  It is chock full of the new stuff I’ve been listening to (except that I left the National & Male Bonding off of it – although I can’t get enough of High Violet especially) including Sex Church, Teen Daze, DOM, Rayon Beach, Hoodie Allen (a Single [...]
