Finally I’ve gotten around to posting another mix. This summer has been the busiest I’ve had in a long time between work, freelance, down time, and wanting to be outside enjoying the weather (and…

A Look Into BMW M Division - Headquarters, Design Center, and Nurburgring Test Center
A work break for music.
I was getting some work done the other day, and thought I’d take a quick break to mix up some tunes. I felt like listening to some Dilla production. Then I thought, might as well take it one step further and film it w/my iPhone.

Ten years ago, Jay Shafer downsized to an 89-square-foot house and reinvented both his lifestyle and career in the process.
Alexis and I struggle with the size of our house almost daily. Our modest house seems so overwhelming at times.

I don’t know if I could downsize like this, but it’s pretty sweet.

3 minutes and 6 seconds of great music, named Music In My Mind Part 2, from the Jazz Liberatorz.
Classic. I hope this keeps going right up until announcement time.

The Evening Commute→
One month goes by fast when you’re not recording mixes. So this is sort of a part two to the original Commute mix I did a few months back. This one weighs in at just over an hour, and pretty…
