Piping Hot {Sept. '12} Mix



This mixtape just might be perfect for:

A. Trying on a brand new sweater
B. Riding a bike at twilight
C. Picking out Halloween decorations
D. Chopping firewood
E. Having an autumn yardsale


Last month, I started a new series called the "Piping Hot" series where, at the end of each month I collect (from that particular month) all of the hot, fresh, brand new songs that I can find from not only bands and musicians I already know and love, but also bands and musicians I've just discovered.


It's a pretty thrilling process trying to find new stuff throughout the month, and September had some pretty strange, yet intense offerings ... This mixtape really goes all over the map, from one end of the scale to the other and back! I think it makes a perfectly exciting and erratic  "soundtrack" for welcoming in Autumn's chillier days and falling leaves!

as always,

*** ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY ***

Fall Around You Mix by Chris Stewart



This mix goes well with:

• Early sunsets
• Being able to see your own breath
• Watching a leaf float down a street gutter into a sewer drain
• Your favorite jacket


So says Chris Stewart, the creator of this wonderfully autumnal mixtape (The 1st day of Fall being THIS coming Saturday!!!) ... Chris has contributed a zillion awesome mixes to the Psychic Tuesday airwaves and this one is certainly no exception.


It makes me think of a superb Wes Anderson movie soundtrack ... It makes me think of visiting a friend's house after the first day of school and listening to records while dead leaves float down past the window ... It is, basically, perfect for this time of year! Well done, Chris!


Here's what Chris had to report about his latest audio creation:

"This mix was made in anticipation of the fall season. I chose these specific songs because they each have a certain color to them sonically."


I very much agree ... I also appreciate how long and sprawling this mix is ...
Thanks again, Chris!


So here it is for your soon-to-be-celebrating-Autumn pleasure!


The "Fall Around You" mix ... ENJOY!
