cape cod to carlsbad // a mixtape

6.26.2015

  scheels commercials instruct you to find your passion, well scheels i have found my passion: themed mixed cd's and themed parties for all. hire me as your dj for your themed party. but not really because i don't know how to be a dj- yet. i'm sorry scheels golf man, my passion is not finding the perfect club to perfect my approach shot- it's themed mixtapes (cds). 

@scheeles i have found my passion, now i will share it with you.


a themed cd how to: 
1.) pick your theme- good theme ideas: holidays, seasons, books, emotions, people.

2.) construct your playlist- songs that fit you theme: ex. the cramps and the black angels are an excellent choice for a halloween mixtape (cd). always remember to include a psychedelic song from the 60s no matter what the theme. 

3.) name your mixed tape (cd)- past creations: morose mixtape, emotions of school, the electric kool-aid english class. 

4.) select or draw artwork pertaining to your theme- it's like an outfit, the right amount of embellishment and accessories makes it all the better. 

5.) give it to the ones you love, or your worst enemies- after all, a carefully constructed and decorated cd speaks louder than words. 


a field guide to this mixtape:
1.) theme: the theme to this mixtape is summer. summer is a very broad category, so i have narrowed the theme to a more retro sound of summer. you know like the beach boys, but not the beach boys. there's no beach boys on this mixtape. sorry to disappoint if pet sounds is your most favorite record. 

2.) playlist: this playlist provided a sampling of some of the finer summery things in life. songs by: bear hands, mac demarco, cayucas, the kooks, vampire weekend, the black angels (they're like spooky surfer vibe that's flexible for both beach parties and halloween parties), blondie and of course, the obligatory psychedelic hippie touch brought to you by donovan. 

3.) the name: cape cod to carlsbad- a dual coast summery selection. 

4.) theme enhancing artwork: a selection of 70s beach-y keen photographs by hugh holland and joel meyerowitz. 

5.) to you, love me: you might be my loved one. you might be my enemy. you'll never know. enjoy this mixtape. the spotify link is between the tracklist and theme enhancing artwork.
