Faked Potatoes Mixcast No. 015
A constant theme throughout 2011 has got to be “Taking on the World.” Both for myself and for my friends and colleagues, I’ve seen everyone grow into beautiful and ambitious people, taking on larger clients and accounts and spreading their professional wings to fly. Some days, I wake up and feel like I can take on the world, and some days, I wake up and feel like the world has taken me on.
It would be impossible to say these emotions and feelings haven’t influenced my listening habits and on the days you feel a little overwhelmed, it’s nice to start your day off by regaining the upper hand. So with that in mind, I present to you my Showdown Mixcast in the Faked Potatoes Mixcast No. 015. I’ve selected tracks that are a little raw featuring more guitar than usual, some sultry saxophone and grungy production, all maintaining that vintage Western/B Horror Movie feel, for the days you just wanna stare down the guy in the black cowboy’s hat and say, “Fuck you, sir.”
