Sociable.

Today i kindly received a package of compilation CD's Alex Quaye of Box Social records put together. It's an assembly of mainly southern artists of which some are friends amongst others, and one of my songs from Fuck Crz is featured. It's a welcome DIY effort involved in putting things like this together, and Alex and the others involved work hard contributing to the local south east music scene in putting on good music for the sake of it, and that promotion ethic, despite being more scarce perhaps now than a few years back, is still really important to any music fan, band or artist.

You can buy said compilation for a hilariously cheap £1.50 from their Bigcartel below, there's some rad tracks on there, and it's worth supporting.

Norway.

A friend and interesting human being mentioned in passing that she was thinking of putting together a Norwegian based mixtape for the musical tape hype website she co-edits, No Fear Of Pop. Being a firm fan of idyllic Scandinavian concepts in general, i jumped at the chance to get involved, and rather than remix or cover a song by a Norwegian artist, as did the other's who contributed, i decided to remix Norway by Beach House instead(note, this choice was not in the pursuit of being different/wacky, but more a lack of understanding on my part), a fitting referential tribute in it's own right. Due to said co-editor, and woman, being hurried in assembling the zip file for this mixtape, an unfinished version got put on the final mailout, but the final version is available to listen below, as well as a link to said mixtape, entitled Omstart. It's really a beautiful collection of works that i'm proud to be amongst, hopefully some of you may enjoy it as well.
