Chocolate Grinder Mix 17


"Hatching Under the Belly of the Flowering Cerebellum"

[August 2009]

(MP3 DOWNLOAD) - (PODCAST)

I can’t help but feel like an ass for plucking some of these songs from their original contexts. Several tracks — like Mount Eerie’s "(something)," John Wiese’s "Mystical Finland," and especially Kreng’s "Meisje In Auto" (which you should seek out ASAP) — hinge heavily on the flow intended by the artist. My concern, though, would put into question a whole host of things — not only mix tapes, but sampling and radio, musique-concrète and iPods. Besides, the idea of The Album as something sacred, something untouchable is silly. Am I not allowed to bend symbols at my will? Am I supposed to sit passively and consume music only under conditions laid out by the artists? Of course not. But I still feel like an ass sometimes.
