AKA the Silver Lining album. Hopefully this will help ease your post-election woes.
Anderson .Paak makes three appearances on this one, but not all from his award-contending album. I’d have more from KATRANADA too, but there’s too many to pick from. Do yourself a favor and just download the whole album. HONNE makes two remix appearances, and Tom Misch returns with yet another stellar composition from his latest EP. There’s also more from Frank Ocean and a Phonte (from The Foreign Exchange) appearance, along with a rare showing from a Gigamesh remix of Rihanna that strongly echoes Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule The World.”

1. Am I Wrong? (feat. ScHoolboy Q) – Anderson .Paak
2. Lost (HONNE Remix) – The Temper Trap
3. ONE TOO MANY (feat. Phonte)
4. Dang! (feat. Anderson .Paak) – Mac Miller
5. Fall in Love (feat. Cicero) – GoldLink
6. Sweet Dávila – Demouche
7. Get Bigger / Do U Luv – NxWorries, Anderson .Paak & Knxwledge
8. Another Luvr – Teedra Moses
9. Just Once (HONNE Remix) – Shura
10. Watch Me Dance – Tom Misch
11. Sharpness – Jamie Woon

First thing’s first: The Mixtape.

Tame mutherfuckin’ Impala. I’m not sure when it happened exactly, but there became a pre-Tame Impala era, and a post-Tame Impala era, and I can hardly remember how I lived in that dark and lonely PT (Pre-Tame) epoch. Pretty sure we just beat rocks against a dead zebra’s skull and called it music.

1. Let It Happen – Tame Impala
2. Holding On feat. Sam Dew – Julio Bashmore Music
3. Let Go – Ark Patrol feat. Veronika Redd
4. Prisoner – Jordan Bratton feat. Chance The Rapper
5. Got It Bad – Leisure
6. What I Like – Tenterhook
7. Let’s Get Slow (feat. Benjamin Diamond) – Aeroplane
8. Believe In Me – Jamie Lidell

Ok, so second thing, the lovely Ms. Osgood of Snowbird Art fame made this wonderful thing for me:

Yeah, that’s me as a Muppet. I love it. It’s pretty accurate. I always keep cassette tapes in my shirt pockets. If only I could figure out how to make it up to her…

This is the FIRST mixtape of 2015. It’s real title should be “3M – Jet Lag (The R&B Edition)” given that fully two-thirds of this mixtape is either R&B tracks, or generously flavored with 100% Real, American Rhythm & Blues^TM.

As per the typical, the tracks consist of some old, rarely heard tracks, among the new hotness. Most notably is the addition of the Usher track (featuring Nicki Minaj) smack-dab in the middle of the mix. Given the frequently obscure nature of the artists often making an appearance on the MTS rosters, seeing those two rather high-profile names seems out of place. In this particular case, I’m making a deal –a trade– if you will. You’re getting a grade-A, funky jam produced by none other than Pharrell. So while the talent of Nicki Minaj is highly-debatable, the genius of Pharrell is not.

You probably noticed that Miguel is also making another MTS appearance on track 1. The track comes off his December ’14-released EP and is worth a listen in its own right. I am becoming more and more impressed with Miguel with every release. It is profoundly strong work that sets its sets itself apart from the crowd in ways both sonically, and lyrically, and I insist that he keep that shit coming.

Finally, there WILL be a Feb. 14th release of a mixtape for V-Day. It WILL be a double-album, live from Las Vegas (lies), but I am taking suggestions of your favorite love songs of all-time. Hit me with your suggestions on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/mixtapestudios, oh and throw in a LIKE while you’re there.

1. Hollywooddreams – Miguel
2. Falling Short (JackLNDN Remix) – Lapsley
3. Dazzle – Oh Wonder
4. Sunny (Notize Head for Bed Edit) – Marvin Gaye
5. Silk – Falcon Punch
6. She Came to Give It to You (feat. Nicki Minaj) – Usher
7. Addicted – JMSN
8. Greek Tragedy – The Wombats
