Now You're Hanging on a Star (Cosmic Heroes Mixtape)

Here is another Autumn mixtape, that follows our previous one entitled When we were Lightining (you can download it here). Even if the two are posted separately, they were conceived in the meantime, both composed as a sort double mirror, and mixed live, with all the mistakes that go with it. They could be listened at one after each other - if you ever want to. These twin music selections are lying in between mourning and the celebration of life. Yes, they are dedicated to two beloved persons who disappeared, strangely, in the meantime: the first one is our ever admired friend, graphic designer Frédéric Teschner. The second one, to our dearest friend curator and writer Lionnel Gras. You are really gone too soon, friends. Please forgive us if this comes much too late. But don't make us wrong, these tapes are also - and as well if they were composed in memory of the loss - addressed to life, through all its dimensions. They are dedicated to the beloved ones that are still here and around with us, and to the ever lasting friendship (what's the difference, who can tell, in a way?). They are dedicated to You, the ones who will always be unconditionally loved. You will - well, hopefully - recognize yourselves.

Clear Skies Pure Hearts Red Eyes (Another Spring Compilation)

Clear Skies Pure Hearts Red Eyes

Here is a new Spring compilation we had the pleasure to curate for our dearest friends of Rock This Town (RTT), music programers based in Geneva that represent some of the finest amateurs of refined musical rarities in Calvin City. We would like thank them for having invited us to select the eighth installment of their very nice guest playlists series. 

"Today it is the third or fourth day of spring and I am sitting at the Place Clichy in full sunshine. Today, sitting here in the sun, I tell you it doesn’t matter a damn whether the world is going to the dogs or not; it doesn’t matter whether the world is right or wrong, good or bad. It is -- and that suffices."

More (MMXIII).

Some of the best of this past year's music, luminously all sort of Blues-related songs - yet all in their own, reinvented manner - blended together for your own pleasure. Nothing particularly obscure, experimental or dejected, as of for today: but just a set of twelve beautiful, soulful, lethargic songs that we used to play and enjoy all alone, or with the Family and Friends along the year, and that could nicely accompany you through the rising year's special, melancholic light. This can be considered as a mirror tape of the Summer Mix from July 2013, and played right next to, before or after it. Mixed with care, in one take, despite the mistakes.

Featuring:  

Dean Blunt, V

Psychic Ills, FBI

Steve Gunn, New Decline

Alasdair Roberts and Friends, Fusion of Horizons

Bonnie Prince Billy, Ending It (As I Do)

Bill Callahan, Spring

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Higgs Boson Blues
