Lately, I’ve been listening to some really chill music. A lot of it I’m listening to now because it reminds me of past seasons when I first started listening to these bands. Other songs are from bands that I just started listening to that has brought a lot of happy listening. So, here is the mix. Chill out a bit, and enjoy.

Hey guys! Here are the hip-hop mixes for this month’s mixtape club. Note about these mixes: some of the lyrics are what you might call “secular” or “profane,” so if you are offended by that kind of stuff, you may want to wait until next month’s mixes or for another mix of the minute. OR you can create your own mixtape with your favorite rappers like Lacrae and Grits or the Sugar Hill Gang and Run DMC.  So listen discretion is advised of course, but here are the Hip-Hop mixes! enjoy!

Today I decided to make a mix for no reason and called it the “Mix of the Minute: Volume 1″ There’s no theme, it’s just a collection of songs I’ve been listening to. Coincidentally, the mix turned out pretty folky, but what can you do?

hope you enjoy it.

Hey Guys,

Here’s a new mix: The Rainy Day Mix. I know what your thinking: really? its like 1,090,873° outside with no chance of rain. So, here’s the deal. It might be freakin’ hot outside, but it’s bound to rain eventually, right? I mean, we can only hope for some kind of relief from this wretched weather. Anyway, here’s the mix. With all of these songs, you can almost hear the pitter-patter of a slow rain outside your window, or rain of the thunderous variety as it beats down upon your car or house. The mix is pretty chill, but– not unlike a rainstorm– it is not without moments of rise and fall. I hope you can enjoy it, if not while it is raining, then at least with the hope for rain.

Hey guys,

I was trying to think of a new mix theme and was having trouble, so I asked a couple of people and a roadtrip theme was suggested. I thought about it for a while and decided it would be difficult to make a roadtrip themed mix. Then I decided I would suck it up and give it a try. And then I ended up with 4 disks and 4 hours of music, which I believe is the perfect roadtrip length– especially for someone who drives from Dallas to Little Rock on a pretty regular basis. Roadtrips are kind of how my mix-making began. Every time I go on a long drive, I’ll make a gigantic mix of my favorite songs with hopes of not feeling the need to skip any of them as they come up on the playlist. This mix is a little bit different, though. All 4 disks are intentional in order of tracks and type of song and genre of music. All of the disks have a little bit of everything. Some tracks are instrumental, some are folky, some are hard rock, some are hip-hop, and so on. Anyway,  I hope you enjoy the mix(es). You’ll have to scroll down to the bottom of each tracklist to find the download link for the mixes.
