Free Musics For You!
This is a post from Aaron’s Radio Gen1us site, archived here. The following is the text of his original post. We’ve started a new format on Radio Gen1us. We’re not ditching our mixtapes — but we’re trying to be a bit more regular about podcasting. Quite frankly, doing a discussion format is a lot easier … [Read more…]
This is my best of 2009 mix, containing samples from my 20 favorite albums of the last year. I’m not a professional music critic and I don’t listen to every album ever released by any means, so I’m sure there are plenty of holes, and if you’d like to tell me an album I missed, … [Read more…]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Well it isn’t St. Patrick’s Day yet of course, but it’s coming up, today is the Saturday before, and I’ll wager many of you are already enjoying the holiday cheer. I’m more ignorant of my Irish heritage than I’d wish to be, but there isn’t anybody left to teach it to … [Read more…]
This is a chill mix. This is not a chillout mix. This is a journey from light to dark and light again, in the vein of last year’s mix for staring out of train windows, only this time there isn’t a train, there’s just you and the music and a dark place inside yourself. shoegazy … [Read more…]
Just your basic mix of cover songs. Ska covers! Bluegrass covers! Metal covers! Punk covers! I know, it’s been done, but dammit it’s MY TURN.

Alright. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. I have a few in the works, an alt-country mix, a show about great drumming performances, some others. But they are still unformed. Today I had an epiphany. I just want to rock your faces off, that’s all. So I put together this mix. … [Read more…]
…in which I take you on a sonic adventure through the beginning, end, and aftermath of a trainwreck relationship. No one relationship in particular, I’ve been married so long I don’t remember any others, really. 🙂 But this is a mix that not only progresses through a series of moods but which also purports to … [Read more…]
