“I had the misfortune to be nourished by the dreams and visions of great Americans—the poets and seers. Some other breed of man has won out. This world which is in the making fills me with dread. I have seen it germinate; I can read it like a blue-print. It is not a world I want to live in. It is a world suited for monomaniacs obsessed with the idea of progress—a false progress, a progress which stinks. It is a world cluttered with useless objects which men and women, in order to be exploited and degraded, are taught to regard as useful. The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. Whatever does not lend itself to being bought and sold, whether in the realm of things, ideas, principles, dreams or hopes, is debarred. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal.” Henry Miller Member of the Wasted Time Appreciation Circle: http://8tracks.com/w_t_a_c_

Most of my mixes are some combination of indie rock, indie pop, '60s folk-rock, British invasion pop, garage rock, '60s soul, girl-group pop, tropicália, arty post-punk and the artier or poppier bits of '70s punk. Then I also have a couple mixes that focus on "experimental" broadly construed. These feature the likes of no wave, glitchy or druggy electronic music, free jazz, krautrock, drone, outsider black metal, Finnish free folk, fuzzed-out psychedelic noise rock, &c. Finally, there are a few more genre- or theme-focused mixes: black metal, doom/drone/sludge metal, guilty pleasures, noisy nihilistic punk, '90s underground hardcore emo, math rock, hip-hop/mash-up/dubstep.

Aa well as these mixes, i help contribute to the postapocalyptic mixtape thread... http://8tracks.com/postapocalyptic www.twitter.com/icelandbob
