[the ritz mix]





one day/ or night.. i was having a fierce craving to listen to taco's version of "puttin' on the ritz".  i mean, really, who doesn't get that craving from time to time? put that shit on, do a little jig and it's fucking instant good times. 
anyway, when in search of the song, i came to realize that there is about 50 versions of that damn song. the original stemming from 1929, written and published by irving berlin. who knew a song that "taco" covered, had so much depth. here, learn a little something and check it for yourself; puttin' on the ritz
so, immediately upon learning such a useless fact, i decided that the only just and proper thing to do with such a thing, was to make a random mixed tape [the ritz mix] of different versions. why, you say? i say, why not? just to give out. to random people. like, "hey dude, here's a little something for you." 
i put a lot into these mixed tapes. especially, this bitch. not only is it the most wicked thing ever, for no reason, i design an amazing cover for the tape and laminated insert of the track listings. yup. yup. 
i realized, that i can't just stop the "ritz force" by limiting it to tape. so, i'm giving it out here as well. click the link below to download the ritz mix. and to top it off, here is some ritz mix album artwork. oh.. jesus.

1979

so, i like to make weird mixed tapes. i'm sure i'll post quite a bit of them. i've decided that my band mate and i, are gonna have mixed tape wars.. [oh yeah, i'm in a band, it's called INTERMISSION, check it out] and the first tape.. rare and obscure music from 1979. now this may sound easy, but i'd have to say that we are both pretty nerdy when it comes to our music. so the trick is, finding shit that we are not familiar with. when i am done, i will post the fucker to share. i got a lot of my help from other blogs, just doing searches of 1979. 


these are links to awesome music blogs. you should check them out if you are looking for some rare/ hard to find stuff. lot's of vinyl too!
