I'd like to note that Visa called to hassle me while I was making this post about my overdrawn balance and outstanding payment that I currently can't afford to pay off despite 50-hour workweeks at a Joe-job that pays half of what I used to make. If anyone wants to know about my blog silence as of late----I don't have the time nor inclination nor energy to keep this thing going. Matter of fact, after this mix, Updateable Mixtape may very well cease its operations entirely. We'll see, and I don't want to hear any snivelling out of you, my devoted public.
Sorry, I'm a little grouchy from being on my last 5 bucks for the last 2 months.
That said....

Program Notes:
Haco is an old fave, it appeared on the now out-of-print Improvised Music From Japan box set, followed by another old fave, rediscovered, by none other than the Boredoms whose work has aged incredibly well considering Chocolate Synthesizer came out 15 years ago, Crablogger, Oddball and Anabalina are lovefingers gems who rule as usual, Logic System is some shiny 80's synthpop by YMO's keyboard techie and it comes via Mutant Sounds, there's a few minimal synth bits from an overwhelming retrospective of the genre via Egg City Radio (my current fave) who's also responsible for the JJ Burnel track, he of the Stranglers.
What else....the Master Musicians of Jajouka comes via Dj/Rupture's Mudd UP blog and they're no doubt familiar to anyone who got into that brief Gysin/Burroughs/Brian Jones/Psychic TV phase back in the day...Gainsbourg and Caetano Veloso require no introduction, Paolo Conte is on my deep-internet dig list and thanks to Art Decade for turning me onto him, and lastly, everyone should go buy African Scream Contest, a fantastic mix of West African funk HEAVVVVY shit. Vincent Ahouandjnou track came on at Psych Night a while back and I have to thank Josh for pointing me in the direction of a comp that's been on repeat for the last three weeks.
There you have it. It's a bit of a monster, and could have easily been heftier than its 145 megabytes/hour-and-a-half, but it rolls like a proper C-90 mixtape. I really should get around to doing a radio show one of these days....
