Double Reading

I know I’m about 2 weeks late on this (I promise January 2010′s chart will be posted on January 22 as it should be), but I got all caught-up/stressed out in the end-of-the-year/end-of-the-decade stuff and have been ruminating on too much lately. This is the first of three music-related posts. Coming soon: Music 2009 and [...]

Here is my latest mix. Originally I planned to use this mix to practice using a capellas ontop of different songs (I have a capellas for both “Music Sounds Better With You” by Stardust and “The Sound of Violence” by Cassius). Once the mix was done, though, the random a acapellas just didn’t seem to [...]

I’ve recently been dealing with a fairly difficult (for me, at least) breakup. As part of the cathartic process I’ve been working on what I’ve referred to as my “bitter breakup mix.” It’s finally finished and I must say that both the experience of making it and the final product have made me feel a [...]

Seriously? Another DJ mix from Who Shot JR? Wasn’t the last one posted only a week ago? Yup! Coachella is coming up in just a few days (Friday, April 17, to be exact) so I was under a tight deadline. The mix contains artists and DJs who are going to be performing at Coachella this [...]

Yikes, a bit behind am I? So Seattle Gay Pride was something like five months ago (almost half a year!) and I am just now getting around to posting my “Gay Pride 2006″ mix. Compared to Music Make You Lose Control and Destroy Rock (And Roll), this mix is tremendously better. I have a few [...]

The idea that started this mix is basically the reason I started playing around with mixes in the first place. When I got Missy Elliott’s The Cookbook last year, I knew that I recognized the “music makes you lose control” phrase from somewhere else. It wasn’t until I became obsessed with remixes and, in particular, [...]

I’ve completed my first “DJ mix” project: “Destroy Rock (And Roll).” I’ve had the idea of doing a project like this for quite a few months now, but never had the software or confidence or whatever to finish it. So for about a month I’ve been playing around with MixMeister (thanks to Johan at Pop [...]
