This is my first mix made in Australia, and this reflects the fact that it is “winter” here — at worst 45(f)/7(c) with some rain — by offering something more in line for an Ithacan March. This was built around the inclusion of some demos (from Beyoncé, Prince, and Phil Collins) that I heard in […]

This month I’ll be posting between two and three mixes, all of which capture an aspect of “winter in Ithaca.” Winter in Ithaca lasts from November until…¿? It depends, but the latter months of it (March, April…the first week of May) are definitely the most confusing and distressing. This March it has been both -5 […]
