dp's mixes

Today, I listen to Gui Boratto and Deadmau5. Ten years ago, I listened to Paul van Dyk and Daft Punk. Twenty years ago, I listened to New Order and Ministry. But thirty years ago...quite a bit different. A few songs surfaced, vaguely, in my mind this morning (Driver's Seat, Strange Way and Hot Blooded). Turns out, they were all from 1978, so I rounded out a mix with other favorites from that year. So long ago.

What I listened to almost daily last fall, in my new place in Lower Nob, or Tendernob, or Tenderloin Heights. I discovered most of the music on The Hype Machine (hypem.com), which rocks. No particular genre theme here, just music I like, most of it new or new-ish, with the occasional cover and mash-up of older tracks thrown in.
