Hold Music Volume 31

This volume begins another series of mixes that were initially put together as one long playlist.  The playlist ran around 10 hours.  I am not sure how many volumes that is going to break into yet because I haven't broken them all out yet.  I suspect it is going to end up being somewhere between seven and nine volumes.  Oddly enough the track that was the cornerstone of this whole run is the Gorilla Biscuits track.  For my birthday I got another case for my seven inch records.  I got one last year as well.  When I was putting records in the new case I came across the first Gorilla Biscuits seven inch and I threw it on.  I hadn't listened to it for many years and forgot how great it was.  I realized that I had never digitized that record and so I digitized it.  Once I had in on the computer I thought I'd love to put one of the tracks on a mix and that is were it started.  I started building from there and by the end I had strung together 173 tracks.  It was another case of trying to clear the decks of all the songs I had been putting aside.  All those tracks I'll be sharing in the coming months.

Enjoy!

Hold Music Volume 25

This is the first part of a long mix I created in December.  I initially wanted to do some house cleaning of a sorts.  I had been setting aside songs for a long while and I had so many I wanted to just get as many or them out there as possible so I could in a sense start fresh.  So I put together a playlist that was about seven hours and forty-two minutes long.  I shared that long playlist with people at work and then over the holiday break I broke that long playlist into six volumes.  They make up volumes 25 through 30 in this series.  So this is the first of that series.  The idea, though, is that if you play these all back to back, they do flow into each other.

As I was putting together this post I see at least one typo.  I mislabeled a Black Sabbath track "The Thrill Of Is All" instead of "The Thrill Of It All."  I thought about correcting it, but honestly it was just going to be too much work and so I thought I'd just write about it.  If you end up downloading this, feel free to fix the mistake.  This of course isn't the first and only typo that has ended up on one of my mixes. They do show up now and again.  Sometimes when I catch them, I try and go back and correct them and other times I just let it go.  

Enjoy!

Hold Music Volume 24

I can't quite remember what prompted this mix other than I wanted to put together a bunch of songs that I had been listening to that were leaning toward the funky side of things.  I think I had shared some funky music with someone at work and they mentioned that they were really listening to a lot of funk music and so I went down that rabbit hole for a bit.  I put this together November 26th, 2021.

Enjoy!

Hold Music Volume 23

The spark for this mix was the very first track on the list.  One day I was going through music files on my computer.  I was doing some file clean up and I came across a folder with Alan Hackshaw and that Dave Allen At Large theme.  I loved Dave Allen At Large as a kid and thought I should give that a listen.  I couldn't remember how that music went. So I clicked on the track and it literally made my day, because the track was one that I had been hearing for the past couple years and wished I knew what it was.  The Pure Cinema podcast uses that track for their New Beverly calendar episodes and actually had thought several times about tracking down that opening music.  Little did I know that I had the track and that it was actually to a show I watched growing up.  So I wanted to put that song on a mix so that I could have a reason to listen to it more often.  So I started with that track and the just built from there.  I listened to all sorts of tracks that I had been throwing into a folder for possible use on one of these mixes. So there are songs from my 1001 albums challenge.  There are songs from records I've digitized in the past year or so.  There are country songs that I came across listening to the Cocaine and Rhinestones podcast or the Ken Burns' Country Music documentary series.  There are also just tracks that I came across just in my normal random listening habits.  All that is to say that it is my usual eclectic mix of genres and time periods, with a main goal of kind of working together.

Enjoy!

I can't remember any one driving theme behind this mix other than it was a collection of songs that I liked and thought worked together well as a mix.  I released this mix I believe back in September of 2021.

Enjoy!

The inspiration for this mix came from an episode of Hit Parade this past year that focused on Yacht Rock.  While listening to that episode I realized that I probably could put together a pretty interesting playlist of just songs where Michael McDonald was involved.  Once I put my mind to it, it was fun doing the research and tracking down the songs.  Many I had already, while others I had to find online from various sources.  This playlist has the parenthetical "Michael McDonald Monday" because I released it to my friends on a Monday.

Enjoy!

Hold Music Volume 20

This past summer I spent many weeks digitizing a big stack of Hawaiian records.  To be more specific they weren't all strictly Hawaiian, so perhaps more accurately it would be better to call them Pacific Island records.  Anyway, I digitized a bunch of them and then in the fall I threw together this mix of some of my favorite tracks.  I could make a few of these types of mixes to be honest.  So don't be surprised to see another one of these in the future.  I've also been working on another large stack of Pacific Island records.  I've done about 30 so far and will have to break them up and get them into individual tracks.  I imagine I'll slowly do that this year.  My goal is to digitize all of those records eventually, but I imagine it will take me into 2023 to get through them all at the rate I go.  All that is probably a bit too much behind the scenes info.  Needless to say, here are some of my favorites from 2021.

Enjoy!

Hold Music Volume 19

Happy New Year and I'm kicking off the new year, resuming the posting of the Hold Music series.  I've continued making these playlists for myself and for friends at work.  I've currently shared with friends up to volume 24, but privately I have another six done and ready to share.  In fact I was just working on the artwork and tracks this past week.  So I should be able to post something regularly for a few weeks.

SAP Music Christmas Mix 2021

Happy Christmas!  It is Christmas music time again and I think I've got a fun mix or holiday merriment to kick of this holiday season.  This year has a lot more modern Christmas tunes than I've ever included before.  I realized that in the last 20-30 years there actually have been a lot of fun Christmas tunes released and I don't get to listen to them much each year because I don't have them on any of my mixes, which is what I tend to put on each year.  So this year I made a conscious effort to program a lot of "modern" artists into the mix.  I realize that something that is 20-30 years old isn't actually modern, but I think you know what I mean.  Don't worry, there are still some older tracks and some nostalgic commercials and video clips to keep things interesting.

Tracks are listed on the artwork and again I am providing links to various formats for your listening pleasure. You can have the mix broken into 30 individual tracks or I have to files here that have everything in one big file.  You can choose between MP3 or the Apple iTunes format.  So Enjoy.

Merry Christmas!

SAP Music Halloween Mix 2021

Happy Halloween everyone!  This year I started this mix nice and early.  Working from home has been great in terms of giving me more time for projects like my music mixes and other projects so I was able to start this mix back in May and I finished up in June.  I was so far ahead of the game that when it came down to the artwork I decided it was time to actually draw something.  I came up with this idea of the Bride of Frankenstein holding the hand of a child "monster" like a mother early one morning and this is the resulting drawing.  I'm pretty happy with it.  I framed the original sketch so that I could put it up for Halloween.

This year's mix as per usual is a mix or music and trailers and movie clips.  I think I have more trailer clips than usual this year.  I think this also was the result of the pandemic and having more time on my hands to scout youtube for clips.  Tracks are listed on the artwork and again I am providing links to various formats for your listening pleasure. You can have the mix broken into 45 individual tracks or I have to files here that have everything in one big file.  You can choose between MP3 or the Apple iTunes format.  So Enjoy.

Happy Halloween!
