All Things Chill

Queen & King hash: Fried potatoes, roasted beets, cubed flat iron steak, fried egg, goat’s milk butter, truffle salt. chive.
At home, when I think of all the ingredients that I have at my disposal, I run a check against all the flavor profiles that I have and create accordingly. I choose one strong flavor [...]

Original post here. Super excited to head down to Chicago and re-immerse myself into the familiar. I remember I did a Chicago theme’d mixset a few years back, so I decided to post it again. If you’re totally sick of my mixsets my man Jorge was featured on WNUR a few weeks [...]

I found this mixset archived on an old backup DVD and decided to give it another post, since it’s one of my favorite mixsets. Here’s what I wrote about it two years ago (wow, 12.14.2004!):
Another mix out for you guys. I haven’t made such an emotion fueled mix since this one right here. This [...]

Lights – February Air (myspace here). The song was recently featured on an Old Navy commercial and when I saw it… I immediately got off the couch and tracked it down. Her voice (and hair) is adorable, musically interesting (at least the processing of the basic beats and synth accents) and supposedly, it [...]

I spun a mixset on Christmas… only so I could claim the mixset title Eggnog Uprising. LOL. This first iteration of this (hopefully) annual series of mixsets was straight bumpin’ fron the start and eases into some lush, sexy-time beats at the finish. It has a couple of tracks you’ve heard (Say [...]

Off the Juno movie sountrack (and incidentally a movie that Liana really wants to see), The Moldy Peaches – Anyone Else But You, is one of the cutest songs I’ve heard in the last couple of years. It’s earnest, and willing to make fun of itself for the sake of the message: [...]

I can’t stop talking about the couch and the sexy new seat we bought a few days ago. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. It’ll even be better when we actually get it delivered so we can sit on it! LOL. In celebration of our living room completion, I recorded a VERY VERY short “testing-testing-1-2-3″ mixset [...]

Taken from a recent Tweet:
Who the hell is Mark Ronson, and why is he so popular now? I peep’d his site and it’s like HAYWELCOMETOTHE60’s. Still on the fence. Meh.
Mark Ronson’s take on “Just” (via YouTube). Original Radiohead version here (posted on my blog because Radiohead is still my favorite). Is it better? [...]

imeem.com link here. Pizzicato Five, live. If only I were a hipster in the 1960’s. And Japanese. And rich. With a mustache. And perfectly straight teeth. And a dog named Thelonius that knows how to snap on the upbeats. Yeah.
It’s really chill “packing for / [...]

IMEEM link here (attention: naughty lyrics). Big Poppa – Nororious B.I.G. is a track that 99% of the world takes for granted. Personally, as much as it is a mainstream classic… I love this song. Lots. Lyrically, it’s as conversational as it gets… I mean, he throws in Welch’s Grape in [...]

In the next few weeks, I’ll be going through another life-changing event… which means I’ll be packing up my DJ gear… which means new Dogglounge mixsets will be put on hold for at least 1.5 months. In the meantime, check out my archives, as well as my co-residents for their new takes on the [...]

Seriously… 70 minutes of bump, bump, bump. It starts with a happy vibe, moves into a lil Latin / Afro-Cuban (lots of crazy drums), gets a little insane @ the end and finishes with one of my favorite all-time tracks (thanks Jorge for the heads up!). Oh, and of course… some scratching to [...]

Thanks to Mar, I’ve been really diggin’ on The Postmarks… as I posted on my Twitter account (more on that later):
“Listening to The Postmarks – “Goodbye” on imeem. Super chill, borderline kitschy!”
Apparently, I’ve missed the boat on this ’cause Pitchfork and Rolling Stone have been all over these guys since February. No matter tho, [...]
