SOUL PATCHES
January 28, 2008JR’s Northern Soul Mix (#1)
I thought soul patches were strictly a facial hair thing until this afternoon. My brain is blown.
slothcorporation (2:15:27 PM): what the hell is that?
nkysxxx (2:15:45 PM): say what??
slothcorporation (2:15:50 PM): the cover art
nkysxxx (2:17:16 PM): those are Northern Soul patches, homesqueeze
slothcorporation (2:17:35 PM): they have their own patches?
nkysxxx (2:18:00 PM): every show had its own patch as a souvenier
nkysxxx (2:18:06 PM): they still do
slothcorporation (2:19:44 PM): how do you know this stuff?
nkysxxx (2:20:13 PM): dude…i used to be a skinhead
slothcorporation (2:20:28 PM): aaahh…
This Northern Soul mix was put together by artist/DJ/poet laureate, JAMES REITANO. An animator/illustrator who grew up in Santa Cruz and now lives in Los Angeles, James is probably best known for his work with MADVILLIAN, although MM!!! really loves him because he is the dude who always cooks breakfast for all of his beat, hung-over “friends”. Sunday, 11am, his crib is the place to be.
Banana pancakes.
James is currently working on a GRAPHIC NOVEL for the GZA.
no Exile…free Topshelf
January 28, 2008TOPSHELF (kansas,city) - Broke Folk 1 year
So I learned several things this weekend. 1) I’m not gonna post on weekends because I’m chilling and you’re probably not checking for the blog anyway, and 2) BROKE FOLK are broke asses who cannot manage to record a DJ set despite having great taste in music.
Exile killed it, turning the Lil Joy into a 2am dance party. If you weren’t there you can ask someone. It was ridiculous.
In lieu of an Exhile live mix, I offer up this taste replacement in the form of TOPSHELF’S hip-hop, funk and dub mix from the Broke Folk 1 year anniversary that took place last month. Chin chin.

Can’t really take credit for this one. My roommate Fern (although I suspect Wu-Tang the cat to be the real brains of the outfit) hipped me to this site and in all honesty I haven’t tried it out yet but the idea is pretty dope. Peep it.
I guess some would say that Tiny Mixtapes is a “competitor” but it’s all love here at mixtapesmixtapes.com. Besides, anyone who makes their own coupons is fine by me.
Fern vs. Wu…You make the call.
…but now i’m an MC

mix for long distance lovers
January 22, 2008
So I wasn’t gonna do this because A) Everyone is and it’s kinda crazy to see people’s reaction to the passing of someone they only thought they knew and B) His movies just never were that good. Sorry, I said it.
But then I was in the shower scrubbing my ass (this is when I get 92% of my “great” ideas) and it hit me: man, it really sucks that this young man is no longer with us- for whatever reason. Maybe 4 people in this world will know what really happened but the truth is it’s terrible to think that it was an accident and it’s terrible to think that it was what he felt compelled to do.
This is a mix that I made for a girlfriend when we were living in different cities. It’s heavy on the Cat Power, TV on the Radio, Outkast tip and is melancholy and technically flawed but seems to be right for the day. YOU, YOU & YOU!
Ode to 2007

Broke Folk 2007 Year End Box Set
Well, I’m glad that’s over. Say good bye to 2007 with the now annual Broke Folk Year End Box Set (in collab with ever present entity slothangeles).
The Kone sets it off with a mix full of soul and Holiday Heartbreak (mistletoe is a tricky animal) while the Mayor of LA, Dick Riordan rings in the new year with a dub infused mix with an ode to Snoopy and Chuck Brown.
It’s like a bonus present. (complete track listings)
