Monthly Mixtape Club : (late) January, 2012 edition





















Hello again, friends.

Your second installment in the Monthly Mixtape Club feature comes to you a bit tardy this month, due to various exciting and laborious endeavors taking precedence over this super fun hobby. So, this month we've utilized mid 1980s optical media technology and taken a closer look at our CDR holdings here in the sPLeeNCoFFiN HQ library. Along with the usual tapes and vinyls, you will hear some great, weird and rare CDRs that haven't been played here in years, due mostly to the fact that we haven't had a working CD player in quite some time.

A few highlights of this month's mix include a phenomenal 1983 Alan Vega number (the awesomeness of which was almost forgotten by myself until hearing it again last November blasted during a post-show dance party thrown down at the now defunct Bar-a-Bas of Antwerp, Belgium by the super tasteful and awesome DJ Oli Diskoster), some classic Smell & Quim (long neglected for lack of functional CD player), and unquestionably my favorite cassingle of 2011 by Night Burger.

Don't forget -- the most fun is had by those who record these files to corresponding sides of a 90 min. cassette tape and play it through start to finish, with no annoying computer screen staring back at them, preferably while engaging in other stimulating activities, such as drinking.
