And we all know these pathetic rants of more than dubious literary value sure aren&#8217;t much of a reason.<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s were the aforementioned music activities come into the picture: I figured it would be cool to post some here on a regular basis. Problem is, I do not have the time nor the motivation to record full-hour mixes very often, especially given my borderline obsessive compulsive nature (did I say &#8220;borderline&#8221;, sorry, I meant &#8220;full-on, clinically recorded&#8221;) that compels me to maniacally do a hundred takes until I am either satisfied or passed out from exhaustion (usually the latter).<br \/>\nOn the other hand, all kind of complex legal and moral issues bar me from making single tracks available on this site, whether mine or other&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, the <i>Mini-Mix of the Day<\/i> idea&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The skinny:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They mostly contain tracks I like or stuff I made, should cover a very wide range and balance styles as much as possible<\/li>\n<li>They are not very worked on, mostly a half-dozen tracks hastily cued together and done in one take (or two, if I really fuck up, <i>cf.<\/i> OCD issue above)<\/li>\n<li>There should be some kind of theme running, though I certainly won&#8217;t go into details over each one<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll try to record and upload a new one at least every other day (well, that&#8217;s the theory of it, and we all know how theory goes around here)<\/li>\n<li>There is definitely a <b>big<\/b> tongue-firmly-planted-through-cheek factor (cf this first mix). One more reason to stick with a short format, &#8217;cause I can tell it would become old easily over 90 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And without further ado, the first Mini-Mix-of-the-Day: <\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:13px;text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/mp3s\/minimix1.mp3\">Click here to play in mp3 player<\/a> (right click <a href=\"http:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/mp3s\/drDave_MiniMix_I.mp3\">here<\/a> to save)<\/div>\n<p>Of course, there&#8217;s always the old mixes <a href=\"http:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/mp3s\/\">here<\/a> too.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gipsy jazz, punk rock and techno: what could go wrong?
