Ghost Science: A Flux-Rad Mixtape
There’s quire a bit of variety on this mix, and I have to say it does reflect the corresponding listening moods I’ve had in recent weeks. After a thrilling Trash Talk show at Chaos in Tejas this week, a handful of random MySpace gems (Paper, Reading Rainbow) and a serious retro / post-punk habit, I’m fluctuating between needing a Xanax and a beach nap and beating cabin fever (and lots of looming deadlines) with sheer volume and musical density. There’s something for everyone here, and if you miss Iron Maiden, you’ll thank me for Mantic Ritual later. Though to be fair, I have Mondo Salvo to thank for that find.

Randomly passing through town, I am intrigued by this mixtape because I have heard of none of the artists other than Wilco (and maybe Pajo if that’s the guy from Tortoise). So I am going to give it a whirl. Downloading now. Thanks in advance!
In return, I have a buncha mixes of my own that you might or might not like. “Cut The Lights” and “Blackout/Whiteout” are mostly postpunk, and “Seven Of Wands” has many flavors of guitar aggro. Lots of other genres to be found too.
