So here I am in San francisco. This would be my first blog post from an iPhone. If you don’t know what an iphone is than you need to get with it.
R.I.P. Mitch Mitchell (July 9th, 1947 – November 12th, 2008)
R.I.P. Mitch Mitchell (July 9th, 1947 – November 12th, 2008)
Today we mourn the loss one of my great heroes–the late Mitch Mitchell. Mitch was the insanely talented and influential drummer for Jimi Hendrix and The Experience. He died in a hotel room in Portland, OR last Wednesday. His legacy lives on in all of us.
mux
Sasha Frere-Jones turned me on to this website. I love the simple interface and clever approach to the mixtape/mp3 blog. Check out my “Muxtape.”
new mixes
So here are two new/old mixes for the Lasercave community. Not the same sort of frenetic, intentionally-constructed, mashup sorta thing like the previous mixes I’ve made. These were actually both DJ sets for parties. One was for a hip hop dance party back in November. The other was for a techno-themed party at The Greymalken [...]
Kitties!
KITTIES!
It may have been whimsical, spontaneous, myopic, and downright irresponsible. Nonetheless, Lena, Adam, and I recently adopted some feral kitties we found on the internet.

This thick mix is a lot more hectic than the previous two, however, I only had the last 3 nights to work on it so it doesn’t feel complete. Here’s [...]
Doompack
Doompack EP? I guess so. I was looking at this a second ago thinking, “am I serious with this whole Bowlpack B thing?” I don’t know. It’s pure silliness but whatever, right? Anyways, here it is. A completed EP of MF Doom tracks that I remixed. In case there’s any confusion as to what a [...]
YACHT remix
Ladies and Gentlemen: I present to you a Lasercave/Basic Beats exclusive. Here’s a remix I recently composed for Yacht’s forthcoming LP, “I Believe In You. Your Magic Is Real.” It’s a a lot different from other stuff he’s done, not that that’s bad. It’s more of a feel good, techno-pop sing-a-long, PacificNorthWest kinda record similar [...]
Basic Beats
Welcome to my Lasercave blog, “Basic Beats.” I intend to post things I’ve been making and working on here. Since I’m working from home and being mostly unemployed these days I have a lot of time to work on my “projects.” To remain motivated these days in my stoned-out, existential-crisis ridden life I’ve been spurring [...]
