Better Late Than Never: Summer Fridays 8.11 & 8.12
5 Oct
Well it’s not summer anymore and it’s not Friday, but I still had these two mixes in the hopper and I finally found time to finish them. Cover art for mix 8.11 was done by enigmatic digital graffiti artist King of the Streets. Usually he gets a more rocking mix, I felt like he might like to dance, so we start things off with Frankie Goes to Hollywood and go from there.
The final mix for 2015 — SF8-12 — has cover art by Eli Kasan of Pittsburgh’s finest, The Gotobeds. (Not to be confused with classic filmmaker/name-namer Elia Kazan.) Knowing he’s a Wire fan (Google that with the name of the band), I went sort of punk/postpunk/mutant pop for this one.
Both of these turned out good! Appologies to the cover artists for me being so delinquent in finishing them. For everyone else, enjoy a couple last blasts of summer.
