Show Us Your Mix

This week we've got a real treat for you. Join us as we take a trip back to 1994 and listen to a mix exchanged in high school between two friends. Filled with hisses and crackles, this cassette even features candid commentary from Jackie herself. Big shout out to our friend Evan for holding onto this mix for all these years. To quote him, "this shows what the 80's looked like in the view of the 90...

This mix comes all the way from New Orleans! Made in (you guessed it) April of 2001, it's made for the mixer's partner. April showers bring... you mixing powers? That doesn't really work. I don't know, it's a solid mix of earnest love tunes that make sense for 2001. Big shout out to our friend Steve at 3rdfloortapes.com for this week's mix.

An exceptional mix made for an extraordinary listener to the podcast. All the golden oldies you love. Well... there are a couple tunes that aren't extraordinary. Or amazing. You'll see.

412 is not about Terry's Chocolate Orange. 412 is not about a band called John Lee's Hooker. 412 is not about Brooks, Alberta. 412 is not a helpline for puzzles. 412 is not about the CIA. 412 IS a fun indie rock mix made by the legendary Mike Doherty. Don't sleep on it!

All the way from jolly old England, we've got a real classic for you this week. Inspired by a messy break up, this bad boy is anything but consistent: We've got REO Speedwagon, Cher, Seal... You name it. The perfect soundtrack for burning your ex's belongings.

A trip to the local thrift store turns out to be rewarding. The crew discuss Pearl Jam, Joan Jett and Gord Downie. Escape your troubles and runaway to paradise with this mix as your soundtrack. Note: This episode was recorded a short while before Eddie Van Halen passed away. R.I.P.

Nelson Road Trip #1 Pack your bags, we're headed to Nelson! Thankfully we've got this fun mix to keep us company on those long, curvy mountain roads. Big thanks to our pal Jake for this one.

We've got a real treat for you this week. Keenan's girlfriend has generously donated one of her mix CDs from high school. It's depressing, it's angsty, it's inconsistent, it's... very much a high school mix. Crack a White Claw and hit play.

It's all there in the title, folks. Join us while we press play on a mix tape full of folk tunes and hard-livin' country. Keep the bourbon close for this one.

People use 'ummm' to indicate hesitation, often as a beat to decide what to say next. This mix conjures one ummm after the other. You'll find everything from Buck Cherry to the infamous Wesley Willis without ever being confident what's coming up next.. or how to feel about it. A fitting title for one rollercoaster of a mix. Big thanks to James for this one.

Join us on our treacherous quest through Wizards and Warriors. Lots of crystals, castles and Sabbath. Gandalf is cranking this mix.

This week we dive into an eclectic mix from the east coast of Canada. We find some new favourites, revisit some awful tracks and hear Karl try to say cauliflower. You won't believe your ears.

Remember Sandra? The recipient of our first mix? In this episode, we get a glimpse of Sandra's mix making skills and see what she was into back in 2011. It's not an Easter mix but it sure is lively. Note: we had to take a few tracks off this mix because the CD was so scratched they wouldn't play. Take care of your old mixes.

Bundle up listeners, winter is upon us. A sad time for many, let's hope this mix brings you a little cheer. At the very least, the folk punk will keep you warm.

'We're Here for a Good Time' is a graduation mix, so you can be sure there are plenty of tunes about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. The real question is: do they include 'Good Riddance' by Green Day? Do they skip it? Only one way to find out. Big thanks to our friend Leah G for this mix. School's out, lets party.

We've got a real gem of a mix for this episode. 'More Music' takes us on a journey from Santana to TATU and stops everywhere in-between. Confusing at times but certainly not boring.

Yee-haw! Giddy-up, partner. We've got a bonified country mix tape for you this week. You may recognize the singers but we guarantee you have no idea who wrote these tunes. If you're looking for songs about drinking and heart break, look no further.

1999 - the year before the world was ending. At least we had the comforts of DMX and Juggalos to see us out. Join us on this pre-millennial journey as Graham and Keenan's friendship deteriorates.

Join the crew as they listen to an old mix from Keenan's past - the album art even features a hand-painted portrait of the man himself. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what could this eclectic mix say about Keenan?

Episode 11! An ode to our host Graham, courtesy of his good friend Ashtray. Look forward to memories, Halifax garage rock and, unfortunately, The B52's.

Tenth episode! The crew has the privilege of celebrating the holidays with 'Christmas for Kiki'. Tune in as they tackle all of life's hard questions.

We've got a certified banger here folks! It's time to listen to Karl's Dad spin us his favourite tunes for driving to the gym. Don't miss this one!

Roll down the windows and crank the tunes. Join the crew as they hit the road for car rides mix 2012.

This week, the crew weathers the storm as we plunge into a rainy day mix. Don't forget your umbrella!

You've had a White Christmas, you've had a Holly Jolly Christmas but have you ever had a Big Pimpin' Christmas?
