Side Dish (2020)
I'm trying something a bit off the beaten track here and dipping into the wonderful world of lounge music. Kind of background, kind of ambient, kind of "normal". Don't play it too loud and be sure to use a napkin, you slob. There's ladies afoot.

Supermarket Coolness (2009)
One day, back in 2009, I was in my local supermarket with a hangover and couldn't help but notice how bad the music was. I wondered why pretty much every single time I went shopping I had to muscle through such painful attacks on my poor ears (even sans hangover). So I bought a box of Franzia Sunset Blush (a rather tasty breakfast wine, if I do say so myself) (friendly tip: try it with those little chocolate donuts!) and when I got home I started drinking again (to kill that pesky hangover) and threw this mix together. I then posted it on a podcast blog that I had at the time that eventually crashed and burned quite like The Titanic would have crashed and burned if it had ran into one of those off shore oil platforms (like where Blofeld hangs out in Diamonds Are Forever) while it was on fire.
Such is a life online, I guess.
Anyway, I found it buried on an old hard drive a couple of days ago and I figured I'd re-post it here just in case anybody was interested in checking out that type of thing.
Try it in the background while you're doing something else. Maybe in those earbuds that the hundredth monkey hasn't figured out are totally lame yet.
Which was on fire?
A) The Titanic
B) The oil platform
C) Both

No Host Radio - Movies (2020)
I've got another old one here. And it's from another failed blog too. That blog was called "No Host Radio", a series of mixes that were meant to sound like a radio station broadcast but without a DJ. To be honest, ALL of my personal music mixes are NHR mixes. You know, that whole tunes and ads and samples thing? It's just that I don't use the theme tune every time anymore. If you've ever wondered how this whole thing started, now you know. Yeah, it was first made years and years and years ago but, having re-used some of the tunes in other mixes, I've given it a nice wash, wax, and lube and rotated the tires and stuff. So grab a blanket and a pillow and hop in the back! We're going to the drive-in, kids!
